How can I get dark purple nail polish out of my white carpet?

So...My mom and I got in fight and she threw the phone in my room which knocked over a bottle of DARK PURPLE nail polish... It spilt EVERYWHERE.


There is one line( a fair size) of nail polish,


There is also a blob the size of a toonie.


I Didn't know about this incident until I came home to find it hardened.


Someone, PLEASE tell me how to get rid of it.


Thanks in advance.How can I get dark purple nail polish out of my white carpet?
Since it has hardened, you can try scrapping it up.


If that does not work, try mixing hot water and polish remover and scrubbing it with a scrub brush.


Lastly, if that STILL doesn't work- try OxyClean Heavy Duty Formula. It gets ALLOT of stains up, but I am not sure if it will work with nail polish. Try!!

Hopefully you have a carpet remnant laying around. If so you can use this as a patch. You will need to get a box cutter knife and cut around the stain. Remove the piece of carpet with the stain then cut a similar size and shaped piece out of the remnant. Then use some carpet glue to replace the piece you cut out. Let the glue dry then take a carpet rake and rake around the edges of the replaced piece to help blend it in with the surrounding carpet. Once it is good and dry you should be able to vacuum with no problems.





If done correctly you will not be able to see any evidence that you had to replace anything.





Or take the lazy way out and place something over the stain so it cannot be seen.
Unfortunately this will not come out. You can try to cut the fibers on the carpet down with scissors if the polish did not get to far down. Or you can cut the spot out. Cut a square shape around the stain on the carpet and replace the missing piece with extra carpet that you may have. You can also buy sample pieces at your local Home Depot. Or cut from a piece that is hidden in the closet or under a piece of furniture.
Same thing happened to me! Except it was dark cranberry red on light grey carpet. :S





Depending on the type of carpet, this is what you do. If yours is just regular carpet (i.e. strands of yarn sticking up), first you scrape off the top (hardened) layer first. Do this either by hand (picking/peeling off the bigger pieces) or using the dull side of a butter knife.





Next, snip off the stained tips of the carpet with manicure scissors. Be careful not to cut too much; you don't want it there to be bald spots on the carpet. ;)





Lastly, blot any remaining stained areas, including any that's seeped deeper into the carpet, with q-tips or cotton balls soaked in nail polish remover. BLOT, DON'T RUB! You will gradually see the colour leave the carpet and get soaked up by your cotton (have lots of clean ones handy).





Hope this helps. It's a time-consuming solution, but worth it if you're anal-retentive about doing a good job :)
YES YOU CAN!!!! Here's a blog on removing RED nail polish out of carpet... if it can remove red nail polish it will remove purple!! GOOD LUCK!

Try everything at your disposal!! Oxy clean, Carpet cleaners, look for them at any grocery store....it is not guaranteed that it will take the stain away completely but it will take most of it away.
Try asking carpet layers.or sellers. They cut the stain out in a square%26lt; put sticky tape under neath the square , has to be the same size, and iron.
Nail polish remover?





Or buy your Mum a lovely coffee table or something as a sorry type thing, and cleverly place it over the spill
You dont!
acetone.


make sure it's 100% acetone.





they sell it at sally's, and probably wal-mart.





that should get it up.





hope i helped ! (:
Carpet steamers (try H2O Mop)


or


Stainz-R-Out (stain remover)
You can try fingernail polish remover with acetone or paint thinner.. if it has already hardened.. paint thinner will be your best bet. if that doesn't work, i don't know what would. lol GOOD LUCK!
Paint purple nailpolish designs all over so it looks normal.
