Ok so I had a sleepover and me and my friends were doing our nails, my mom is always like, be careful with my table. However my friend put the nail polish remover in the wooden table and made a small stain. I tried fixing it with some polish but it was too dark so I put on mayo and ashes but what kind of ashes, paper? OK, I hope it works or I'll never be able to live again.

I just dropped a bit of nail polish on my wood table and it made the spots where it fell have a faded color in comparison to the rest of the table. Does mayonnaise and ashes bring it back to normal?

Rub toothpaste on wood. Use mayo, if you want a sandwich.

Yeah I did the same thing, accidentally of course. But mine was the blue kind and I didn't find it until it went through the finish. My daughter bought me this dining set and I'm having a fit worrying about her finding that spot! I will try the mayo and ashes tho, thanks for that possibility!

What is the ashes and mayo trick, how much do I use of each and do I put mayo on first and then the ash?

I just spilled nail polish remover on my new wooden bedside table. It didn't form a hole, thank goodness, but it did leave a stain which is pretty obvious. My mom doesn't know yet but when she does she's really going to be really upset with me. Help! I don't have any ashes, and already tried the hot water and soap thing, not working. I need a really fast efficient inexpensive easy way to get rid of it. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!

Mayo worked for me, left it on 30 minutes, wiped it off, and presto, the mark is gone.

We put mayo just let it sit there. Your table might smell like mayo, but it gives it a glossy shine and it works.

I left two cotton pads with nail polish remover on the wooden table and now there are two shinier spots, my mum doesn't know about it yet so I have to get rid of it before she notices, Does the mayonnaise trick work without ashes and does it get rid of shiny stains?

I was just soaking my nails in nail polish remover to get my acrylic nails off. and I just spilled the whole bottle on my mom's wooden table, i quickly tried to get if off w/ a towel, and it ends up taking the finish off of the wood. I paniced and waited for my parents to leave and I went to go get wood refinisher and lightly dabbed some on the spots, it looks a LITTLE better, still noticeable though.

I used nail polish remover to clean the stains my daughter left behind with nail polish. I got a huge area of cloudy white stain. I followed the advice here - put a dab of mayo and rub in some ashes and just use a sponge to rub into the stain. It sures looks much better.

Thank you so much! I couldn't sleep all night because of my stupid mistake.

My daughter spilled nail polish remover (acetone) on my kitchen table, and then wiped it up. My table now has a large cloudy, rough area where the remover ate through the finish on the wood table. Are there any ideas on how to fix this, or am I stuck replacing this table or having it refinished? Help, the table is only 1 1/2 years old! Angela

Try rubbing cigarette ashes with a dab of mayonnaise on it. (06/22/2005)

RE: Nail Polish Remover Spilt on Table

I have a bedroom dresser that also has nail polish remover damage on it. I called a furniture refinisher, who came to my home & he said that he would have to wet sand it & then refinish the top of the bureau so as to make it all the same color @ a cost of $150. I decided to put a bureau scarf on the area. Can you use a tablecloth? Or do you have a lot of elbow grease to sand the top of the table? In any event, good luck (06/22/2005)

RE: Nail Polish Remover Spilt on Table

Let mayonnaise sit on it for about an hour, wipe off and the put 2 or 3 paper towels folded in half on top of the mark and then run an iron over top a few times. Lift the paper towel to see if there is any change. If it is just starting then continue ironing and after about 4 strokes over the spot look under the paper towel to check progress. (11/30/2005)

RE: history of Nail polish remover

Hi I was wondering if anyone knew the history of Nail Polish remover, like when nail polish remover was first used, and what was the reason for using the product.

Editor's Note: Nail polish remover is made of acetone or a non acetone solvent. It was first developed (polish remover) to remove nail polish but the chemicals in it have been used as solvents for much longer.

I'd look up acetone and the other ingredients in nail polish remover and look them up individually. (12/03/2006)

RE: Nail Polish Remover Spilt on Table

Oh my gosh, I was freaking out but I just tried the mayo and ashes trick on my coffee table because I spilled nail polish remover at it is already making a difference after a few minutes. Thanks so much! This is the only place I found that had any advice other than getting the table refinished. Its amazing! (06/16/2007)

RE: Nail Polish Remover Spilt on Table

Try washing it with hot water and soap a few times so the remover doesn't sink farther into the wood. If that doesn't work than try mayo. (06/20/2007)

RE: Nail Polish Remover Spilt on Table

My Mom bought a brand new white gloss table which cost in and around £500. I actually put pen on it before, and I panicked and put white nail tip nail polish on top. I'm scared to try anything else, and after many attempts to cover it up, my mom found out and I'm grounded for two weeks. (09/16/2007)
