Removing Nail Polish from Sofa and Couch Fabric

Here is what you can do to remove the nail polish stains from your upholstery:

• Wipe off immediately

  First things first, act quickly and wipe off the stain completely with the help of a paper towel or a piece of cloth.

Make sure not to smudge the polish and avoid the stain from spreading further.

• Use nail paint remover

  You can tackle nail polish stains on upholstery with the help of a nail paint remover. However, nail paint remover can react with certain fabrics, and so, you should perform a small patch test first before applying it to the main spot.

  After testing, moist a cotton ball with a nail paint remover and blot over the stain. After the blotting, clean the area with a hot water. Repeat the process until the stain is completely removed. Once the area is clean, wipe it off with clean water and allow it to dry.
