Hi, I'm Tim Gipson and I'm going to talk to you about how to remove fingernail polish
from your carpet. And not a problem I run into personally a whole but, but could be
an occasion if you happen to be doing your nails over the carpet you may get a little
spot on your carpet like I have on my sample. So the first thing we want to do, the first
step, good step to go to, whenever you get any kind of a difficult stain like fingernail
polish on your carpet, is you want to use hydrogen peroxide solution. And what you can
do is you can either apply this with a little bit on a rag or you can just even pour just
a little bit directly to that. Now when you work on this stain, any stain that you have
on your carpet, you want to make sure that you simply blot the stain. And you can either
use a sponge or better yet paper towel or soft white cloth. And what we want to do is
we want to blot. And peroxide I'll mention here is also good for even such things as
when you get blood on your carpet. It works very good. Now, if it happens to not work
that well which you know we're getting some progress here but not like we'd like to see,
no need to panic, next thing is we go on to our baking soda. And you can mix baking soda
in a little bit of water and create a solution. And go through the same process. Now if you're
still having trouble with the stain, next thing we want to go up to is there are some
products out there that are specially formulated for removing stains and we can try these.
And you can do these run right after the other to get these out. Now what you want to do
is if you get into a particular product like this, you want to make sure you go into the
carpet that you have in a closet or some place that's out of the way and you want to make
sure that you can put a little bit on this and rub it into the carpet. And you want to
make sure that it doesn't actually remove the color from your carpet. And then you can
come back and simply apply it again to continue to blot. So this is getting a little bit lighter,
if we continue to work on this we can get it out. Now if that fails then we can go,
and we're actually using progressively stronger chemicals as we go through these steps. And
the next one and this is very important to use a non-acetone polish - fingernail polish
remover. That would be the final step that we'd take and make sure that it's non-acetone.
And again, this is something that you want to test in the corner of your carpet in your
closet to make sure that it's not going to pull the color out of your carpet. So if tests
well in there then we can come to the stain and we can continue to blot, and continue
to blot. So I'm Tim Gipson and that's how to remove fingernail polish from your carpet.
