Any tips o how to get nail vanish out of a carpet?

[mindermummy]

thanks

I would wait until it goes hard then pick it out. Don't try and rub it wet, it will spread.

When DD2 coloured the carpet with my nail varnish I managed to scrape some off when it was dry. I trimmed the carpet with scissors to get the rest off. The carpet looked a bit bald though so I put a little rug along that bit of floor. We laugh about it now, 8 years later. I wasn't laughing at the time of course!

er... nail varnish remover?

Darn with I'd read this thread before. Don't put nail varnish remover on it whatever you do, I now have a fetching lilac patch on my beige carpet and I don't think I'll ever get it out now

oops sorry.

i should really learn not to post on housekeeping issues, i'm rubbish, Anthea Turner i am not !

This happened to us earlier in the year, brand new house, brand new creamy carpet, 12 yr old daughter, red nail varnish. All the advice I had said - you can't get it out at all. We had to replace the whole carpet , luckily we were insured!!

Sorry mankymummy . Needless to say I'm crap at housekeeping too and learned the hard way.
