Shiny Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Have you tried carefully dabbing it with nail polish remover? Test the nail polish remover on an area under furniture or in corner to test colour-fastness of carpet first though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hali Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 i dropped a whole bottle of red once - hubby was none too pleased. Nail varnish remover is your best bet - leave it to soak in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Nail polish remover sounds like your best bet....I've not had much luck lately....last weekend I dropped the end of my hoover nozzle on the floor and chipped the wood flooring.....not once but twice!!! Then on Sunday I put my wet coat to hang up whilst I sorted my son out from football (we got soaked) this dripped all over my new shoe cabinet and ruined the top....hubby not pleased about this I'm just blaming my pre-menopausal state at the moment!!!!wonder how long I can get away with that one?

Guest Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hi I dropped red nail polish onto my cream carpet a few months ago - i used nail polish remover to get it up too and the carpet is fine - i would try that. Hope it works xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 http://www.diynot.com/pages/st/st046.php says this: 'Remove as much as possible, use non-oily varnish remover or acetone. Follow up with a carpet or upholstery shampoo. ' Good luck, its my worst nightmare, especially with 2 teenagers in the house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
