Laundry Tips: Removing Nail Polish from Fabrics



googleimages

Nail polish looks great on fingernails. On your clothes? Not so much. If you have nail polish in your house, chances are it has been spilled on something - carpet, furniture or clothes. If this is you, don't fret! We have a simple and effective way of removing nail varnish from fabrics.

1. Test a small, hidden area of the fabric to ensure it is colour fast.
2. Saturate the polish with bug spray
3. Gently work the spray into the fabric using a soft toothbrush or a rag, using more bug spray as necessary. The paint base will begin to "gum" up into clumps. Keep working bug spray into the stain until all the paint is gone. Rinse well with water.
4. Apply stain remover to the remaining stain, as the bug spray may only remove the paint base, not the colour. Work the stain remover into the stain until all the colour is gain.
5. Wash the item separately, following care instructions.

If you're having troubles, don't hesitate to bring your garment to us! We're experts at stain removal.
