I recently got red nail polish on white linen shorts. Panicking I used acetone nail polish remover, which didn't work along with (this was dad's suggestion) paint thinner, with no avail before crying for about 20 min over my favorite and nicest article of clothing. Is there any hope?

I spilled purple N.Y.C. brand nail polish. I loved the color but then I was talking to my brother and was holding the nail polish brush in my hand. There went a drop ker-plunk and I didn't even notice it until I felt something really wet. I was wearing my khaki pants from areopostal which are part of my school uniform. I instantly went for nail polish remover but it didn't really work it just lightened the stain a bit so I went on the internet and read like all of the suggestions most of them said OFF bug spray and so I rushed to try that but it didn't work so my best advice for you is to just dedicate the clothes for house work or around the house not for public places. Sorry I put your hopes down the drain. :-(

By the by people, cutter bug spray works as well on removing the dried nail polish. We had spilled black nail polish on a whit comforter about two weeks ago and tried everything (bleach, nail polish remover, stain remover) and nothing worked. Finally we saw the bug spray comments and it is definitely doing the job! It takes a little muscle behind it! Good luck with your stains!

Disaster-my granddaughter spilled bright red nail polish all over her Dorothy Halloween costume which I had just finished making. I tried nail polish remover but the polish didn't budge. Then I tried the Awesome product from the Dollar Store. I sprayed it on and with the back of a spoon worked at the stain. To my amazement the nail polish stains disappeared! Thanks be to Awesome!

Amazing! I got a little spot of pink nail polish on my new white, polyester vest and I had a nail polish remover pad so I used that and it turned it red! I didn't think the red from the pad would transfer onto my vest but it did. I was devastated.

I tried regular nail polish remover and no go. I was really nervous about using bug spray on my vest but it worked! I'm super impressed. FF=Amazing nail polish stain remover!

My 1 year old son loves throwing things and he took a bottle of red nail polish and chucked it across the bathroom floor and it broke splattering it all over the thankfully, tile floor but also on his brand new never worn, just dressed, gap overalls. Thanks to OFF, a few applications and a tooth brush, the overalls can be worn again! Nail polish remover did not work!

Okay I need answers and quick. I had my favorite pair of pants on, and I was doing my nail. All of a sudden it dripped. I hate that nail polish now especially because it had said it's the non drip kind. Anyways it dripped and I forgot about it and now I don't know how to remove it! I've tried nail polish remover, but it doesn't work. I bought them for 25 dollars too. Please give me answers and quick

I was really upset because I had gotten the shirt only a day before and it was my first time wearing it.

I spilled a bunch of bright red nail polish on my brand new white shirt, and it's not coming out. I tried the bug spray with a toothbrush scrubbing hard for ten minutes and nothing happened. Do I need to do something else? The fabric is a bit delicate and it's already starting to get ruined by all the scrubbing.

Great site. I had my pants in the washer, so they were wet. I used the bug spray and it did not work, perhaps because they were wet. BUT I ALSO ADDED Clorox Oxi Magic and it was GONE! So if the garment is wet use bug spray and oxi magic together.

My fiance was unable to access google, called me and told me to google "How to remove nail polish from clothing". I did and the majority of people said OFF. I called my Fianc'e back and told her about OFF, she had a bottle of OFF with aloe vera. Amazingly the burgandy nail polish came out of her A.F. jeans. Thank you so much for the help you have provided. OFF does work.

I found that for white materials alternating a combination of the bug spray ('off'), blotting, nail polish remover, blotting & repeat till stain is gone. It really does work (FYI-nail polish remover will fade colored materials).

I just spilled green fingernail polish on my daughters first day of school shirt. Read these posts that said bug spray. It works! I had to scrub a little bit, but it came out. As someone said, be careful if you are wearing nail polish yourself because it could fade onto the fabric you are trying to get it out of. Works great!

Today, I was pretty stupid wearing my new light blue sweater that I love, and painting my nails. The bright pink polish dripped off the brush and 3 huge circles appeared on my sweater. I panicked and immediately tried to scrub it off with nail polish remover.But the polish on my finger (pink and black) rubbed off and stained my sweater more. I freaked and tried stain remover. Didn't work. I came on here and saw bug spray multiple times..So I ran out to the camper and grabbed Off. I sprayed my little toothbrush with Off and scrubbed the stains a few times and the stains were gone. I couldn't believe it. Thanks everyone!

I bought a new pair of black pants and that same day I dropped a nail polish bottle on tiles which broke and splashed white nail polish all the way up both legs of the pant. I tried acetone nail polish remover which eliminated excess nail polish, but it did not rid the stain entirely. I tried a strong stain remover but to no avail. I attempted to dye the pant which still didn't work so I resorted to Aerogard and a toothbrush and scrubbed. It got rid of the stain and did not take any color out of the pant.
The solution was simple, who would've thought insect repellent could remove even the toughest stains? I'm so happy =D

My daughter got red nail polish on one of her brand new school shirts. It's made of mostly polyester. I tried the nail polish remover, the hairspray, and the alcohol. Nothing was working. Then I tried the Off Skintastic and the toothbrush. After about 10 minutes and repeated applications of the bug spray with a spoon, the stain was completely gone! I can't explain it, but I thank all of you for the help!

How do you get fingernail polish out of pants or skirts?

Theresa from Mt. Olive, NC

Answers:

RE: Nail Polish Stains on Clothing

I spilled some nail polish on a polyester/spandex dress and need to get it out. I think I will try the bug spray tip. However, after reading some of these replies, I noticed that they do not mention the type of fabric the polish was spilled on. Always be careful when using chemicals on synthetic fabrics (anything other than cotton, linen, and all types of wools). In a college course I took, we used chemicals to DISSOLVE fabrics. I believe we used acetone to dissolve acetate, and I can't remember if we used nail polish remover for these experiments. Also, as a side note, never use bleach or regular detergents on your wools (all kinds, including angora and alpaca) because it will dissolve the wool fibers. (05/05/2008)

RE: Nail Polish Stains on Clothing

A drop of red nail polish dropped on my blouse. I tried everything to remove it, finally I tried a product called Awesome that I got at the Dollar Store. Sprayed and rubbed with a stiff brush and the stain is gone. Hope this helps someone. (05/14/2008)

By toni.

RE: Nail Polish Stains on Clothing

The Awesome worked GREAT. I painted my daughter's toes w/ hot pink polish & when she switched feet, she brushed her foot across my black dress pants. I sprayed w/ the Awesome, scrubbed w/ my fingernail & out it came. NO stains or loss of color on the pants, even after washing them. I've used Awesome before for many other things, it's always worked perfect. Once again Awesome is really "AWESOME!!" (05/27/2008)

RE: Nail Polish Stains on Clothing

I spilled red nail polish on my light green & white striped tank top [yes it was very tragic]. Using common sense I just assumed I should soak it in hot water and try to scrub it out but then I read on here to use bug spray. The tank top was still damp and I used OFF! on it. I sprayed and scrubbed the stain with it and all it really did was spread it around into a lighter stain =[. I just washed it and I'm going to dry it. I guess I will try the bug spray again when its dry. Either that or I will resort to acetone =0 (06/05/2008)

RE: Nail Polish Stains on Clothing

I recently spilled a silver dollar size of white nail polish on the seat of my car! I was told to use acetone but didn't have any on hand. I used a cotton ball with nail polish remover over and over and it made the stain a bit lighter. Then I logged on here and saw that bug spray seemed to work for people. IT DOES! I sprayed it on liberally and scrubbed with a hard bristled brush, the stain is almost gone! (04/26/2007)

RE: Nail Polish Stains on Clothing

Use the bugspray, it really does work. I just spilled a lot of purple nail polish (the quick drying kind, too!) on my white duvet cover. It's in the dryer now with no purple nail polish in sight. Just make sure you COMPLETELY saturate the stain with the bugspray and scrub just a little and the polish will just melt away! (05/12/2007)

RE: Nail Polish Stains on Clothing

I recently had a bottle of red nail polish break and spray all over my new bedding (namely a down comforter). I had spilled nail polish on fabric before, and had never dreamed I would ever be able to get it out, so I always wrote off the stain and either threw the item away or just lived with it. I happened upon this site, and decided to buy some of the suggestions - Off Skintastic, Motsenbocker's Lift Off #3, and a can of acetone (and some Oxy Clean for washing afterwards).

I tried the bug repellent on one spot of the comforter and the Motsenbocker's on another. The bug repellent seemed to lighten the stain, but the Motsenbocker's was actually LIFTING the stain off of the fabric, so I switched to that. I had to spray, blot, and rub the spot with a soft-bristled toothbrush about 25-30 times, but IT COMPLETELY CAME OUT. I was honestly speechless! If you use Motsenbocker's make sure you have a towel or something absorbent under whatever you are cleaning to catch the stain dripping through from the other side.

My mattress was also stained a little as a result of the accident, so I plan to use the Motsenbocker's again and blot more often and use a carpet cleaner to suck up the excess liquid so it doesn't soak through deeper into the mattress. I'm even going to try some old stains on old items to see if it works! I am still completely amazed that it worked! Thank you to whoever came across this product and posted it - IT WORKS WONDERS! (05/16/2007)

The OFF Skintastic really works! I spilled hot pink nail polish on my cream comforter, I sprayed it with the OFF and used a toothbrush to rub it and it is completely gone! (05/26/2007)

By Sue D.

RE: Nail Polish Stains on Clothing

I posted a little earlier about the red nail polish all over the bedding...just wanted to follow up with a few tips.

I successfully used Motsenbocker's Lift Off #3 to remove red nail polish from my comforter, but I noticed that after it was done lifting out the red part of the stain, there must have been some clear nail polish base residue left on the fabric. I got out the acetone and was able to blot away the residue - make sure if you use acetone or any of these chemicals that you allow the fabric to dry COMPLETELY before you place it in the washer.

I also used Motsenbocker's #3 to try to remove a set-in nail polish stain from a garment, and while it wasn't able to completely remove the stain, it lightened it considerably - even though it had been washed and dried several times!

This stuff is awesome - just make sure you have some acetone handy for cleanup after you've removed the actual color stain! (06/13/2007)

RE: Removing Nail Polish from Clothing

That's happened to me and I'm sorry to say, your most likely stuck with that fingernail polish on your clothes. Try this first- soak the stain in finger nail polish remover. Repeat this several times letting it dry in-between. Launder as normal, adding more remover before it hits the wash, hang to dry. If it doesn't come out, there's really nothing else to do except paint over it with a pattern, iron on, cross stitch or get dye that matches it (or as close to it) and dye the whole shirt. The dry cleaner couldn't even get the stain out of my shirt.. Good luck! (06/23/2004)

RE: Removing Nail Polish from Clothing

I removed a spilled bottle of bright green nail polish from a light yellow flannel duvet cover by using Acetone from the hardware store. This stain was old and dried into the fabric. First, soak the stain in a glass bowl of acetone (metal might react, plastic might melt) for a few minutes, and then discard the soaking acetone. Then stretch the stained cloth over the glass bowl and make sure the stained side is down, then pour acetone through the stain to flush it out. Repeat with fresh acetone until stain is removed. Then wash the item normally and air dry. Check for acetone smell and rewash if needed. Air dry until you are sure the acetone is out, as it is VERY flammable. Use caution and keep the kids away from this project. (06/26/2004)

I used cutter's deep woods bug repellant, after spraying it on there for a while and rubbing lightly with a towel I got the stain out.Then to prevent an oily looking stain I put oxyclean on it. PERFECT! (09/08/2004)

RE: Removing Nail Polish from Clothing

Try using some nail polish remover to get the stain out as best as possible. Then run it through the wash with a pre treatment. just make sure when it goes in the wash there is no more nail polish remover on the article, or it may discolor some clothing items. (09/15/2004)

RE: Removing Nail Polish from Clothing

Fingernail polish remover leaves a stain on fabric. Do not use it. You're just making another stain to remove. Use Off Skintastic. Works like a charm! (04/05/2005)

Removing Dried Nail Polish

This weekend my Daughter and I were going through clothes for a yard sale. She found a top she'd hidden in the closet since last fall because she'd gotten bright pink nail polish on it. Not really sure if it would ruin it or not we used nail polish remover on it and washed it out. There's not a trace of it and the color is as bright as ever. (05/23/2005)

RE: Removing Nail Polish from Clothing

I just got red nail polish on a new light pink hoodie I got as a gift. I tried the nail polish remover and it lightened it but only a little bit. Then we added the bug spray and it got it out. With the nail polish, don't rub it, or you'll put a hole in the fabric. Rinse after the steps and hang to dry. It worked for me and I hope it works for you! (01/30/2006)

RE: Removing Nail Polish from Clothing

This just happened to me and it was on a white shirt! What I did was immediately put a bit of nail polish remover on the shirt and blot. Then I scrubbed it out with a piece of paper towel. I then rinsed it with water and am sorry to say that the stain is still there, but it is for sure lighter. I don't know if it's really possible to get it out all the way, but you can lighten it with nail polish remover! The color of the remover doesn't stain the white shirt, either (03/06/2006)

RE: Removing Nail Polish from Clothing

I got pale pink nail polish on black pants. I immediately wiped off what I could. A day later, I tried diluting laundry detergent in warm water, and then wiped at the stained area with a washcloth. It (so far) seems to have helped. (04/28/2006)

By Sara

RE: Removing Nail Polish from Clothing

1) Blot nail-polish remover (acetone) on stain.

2) Mix 1 tsp. mild, pH-balanced laundry detergent with 1 cup (8 fl oz/250 ml) lukewarm water. Blot mixture on garment, then sponge with clean water.

3) Launder as usual. (05/23/2006)

By Kathy

Acetone

I have found that if the nail polish is relatively fresh, quickly get the pure acetone and dab it off. Don't scrub or it will be a big blurry spot and look worse. Use a clean cotton ball and don't use the same one for very long, use new ones. If that doesn't work use bug spray or Oxi-clean. If that doesn't work try all three and wash repeatedly. Hope it helps! (08/07/2006)

Good Gone

I used a product called "goo gone" to remove an old nail polish from a cotton skirt. I rubbed and rubbed and rubbed the fabric together after letting it sit with the goo gone on it and it did eventually come out. I had to use a razor to *lightly* shave the pill off afterward, but at least I can wear my skirt now! (09/18/2006)

RE: Removing Nail Polish from Clothing

I worked for one of the best drycleaners in Lake Tahoe for 7 years. If you get polish on just 1-2 items and they are worth it, just TAKE THEM TO THE DRY CLEANERS. They have chemicals made to attack these kinds of stains. It shouldn't be horrendously expensive. If you got it on the entire load- you can try "Stain Devil", found in your detergent aisle at the grocery store. They have a stain remover for everything, but it will take time and patience. Good Luck! (09/22/2006)

Answers:

RE: Nail Polish Stains on Clothing

Acetone. You can buy small bottles next to the nail polish remover in places like Wal-Mart. (As opposed to buying a gallon at at hardware store) Your results will vary depending on the fabric type. My cat knocked a glass vanity off my dresser shearing the top off of a nail polish bottle. I thought the carpet was going to have to be replaced. Acetone got it out 2 days later when someone told me about it. I'm sure the wood floor underneath has no finish on it now, but the carpet is fine. (04/26/2006)

RE: Nail Polish Stains on Clothing

After trying many remedies I found online including but not exclusively, nail polish remover, oxy cleaner, simple green, brake fluid cleaner, choke and carborator cleaner, goo-gone, goop gone, turpentine, gasoline. Did I mention I was desparate? The only thing that worked on the dark pink polish that I spilled on a new chair and ottoman was a product called Motsenbocker's Lift Off #3. I saturated the fabric and blotted with towel and repeated often. It probably took well over 3 hrs to accomplish BUT, it saved me having to send out to an upholsterer for repair which would have cost a small fortune. The product can be found at HOME DEPOT in the paint dept for approx. $7. Good Luck ! (08/25/2006)
