Reuseable cleansing pads

I hope this is in the right topic, I wasn't sure whether to put it here or in Ethical Living.
I've recently bought some reusable bamboo pads for cleansing/toning and they're brilliant. I'm trying to reduce the amount of single use things I have.

This may seem like a daft question but can I use them for removing nail varnish? I feel like it wouldn't wash off and I don't want to ruin them.

Has anyone tried this or will I need to keep some cotton wool in for this purpose?

Hello.
I purchased some reusable cleansing pads JUST for removing nail varnish.
Not the same website, but the link brings you to the product I bought: andkeep.com/products/reusable-nail-varnish-remover-pads?variant=17575536689223&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Google%20Shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQjw7Nj5BRCZARIsABwxDKLQrMjI1K1ygAp2VQF34XXXQoqvRK3HWqUN6wRL_C52-yHHrgP0c8AaAsQZEALw_wcB

And yes, the nail varnish doesn't wash off. The instructions say to just keep using it, and from having tried once I now see that the stain is little and there is room to use the same pad at least 8-10 times. Then I will try to still use it unless completely impossible, before moving to the next one. Still an improvement vs single use pads.

All of the above to say that no, I wouldn't use my make up removal pads for that purpose as you can't take the varnish off.

Happy for other posters to tell me I am doing something wrong and you CAN remove it somehow!

They look fab! I like the fact that they're dark. I think the thought of ruining my lovely cream bamboo pads put me off using them for nail varnish removal!

I'll add these to my shopping list. Thanks!
