Spilt nail varnish

A few years ago I got some bright pink nail varnish on my cream bedroom carpet. It did come off with nailvarnish remover although I did treat it straight away before it had had chance to properly dry out. I really had nothing to lose as I couldn't have made it much worse than it was. One word of warning though is that when I first rubbed it the stain seemed to dilute and got bigger for a while but then eventually it all came off. I did use several fresh clothes though so as not to transfer it back. Good luck numberplease

How timely is this thread! My DH texted me this morning to ask if I knew how to remove nail varnish from a carpet. DGD had dropped a bottle of blue which is all over the stair carpet. I told here to use Google. There are lots of sites including wikihow, and even videos on youtube showing you how to do it. Good luck.

Thank you, will give the remover a go.

Must be non acetone remover [so as not to remove any adhesive from the carpet]. Also hairspray works. What would we do without Mr Google. I'm going to try it on an old t shirt I was going to throw out. I did spill some nail varnish onto a carpet the other week but it must have been a miniscule amount as I couldn't find where it had gone.

....don't think the hairspray did anything...
