How do I get nail polish out of clothes?

So I spilled red nail polish on one of my favorite shirts %26amp; I can't get it out!


Any ideas?How do I get nail polish out of clothes?
Yes, you might have luck with nail polish remover and use a brush to scrub at it.





Good luck to you!How do I get nail polish out of clothes?
* Wipe Away Excess Polish. If the spill is fresh, carefully wipe away the excess polish with a paper towel or old cloth. There will probably be a stain left behind on the fabric that you will now need to work on removing.


* Use Nail Polish Remover. It might seem like an obvious idea, but you might not think to try nail polish remover on your clothing. While the remover can be a bit harsh on clothes, the fabric should be okay if you only use a little on the spot. If you are nervous about it, test the nail polish remover on an inconspicuous spot. To get the spot out, dab a paper towel or cotton ball with some polish remover onto the spot to lift it up. You might want to try a non-acetone remover since it could be less harsh. Don't use bleach.


* Bug Spray or Hair Spray. It may be strange, but many people have found this to work. If the polish remover doesn't seem to work, use a tooth brush and some bug spray and hair spray to scrub out the stain.


* Try a Special Cleaner. If nail polish remover or bug spray doesn't do the trick, you may want to try a cleaner made especially for this type of stain. You should be able to find these at your local store. Follow the directions carefully. You might also have luck with prewash sprays like Spray and Wash.


* Rinse and Wash. Once you have removed the stain, rinse with water and then throw in the wash.





If one method doesn't seem to work, try different ones until the stain is gone. It is likely that at least one cleaning method will do the trick. If the stain absolutely won't come out, take the garment to a professional cleaner's.
Depending on the color of the clothing, try nail polish remover if it doesn't come out soak the stained are in the polish remover for a minute or two and then machine wash.





OR





Try bug spray, Off Skintastic, Motsenbocker's Lift Off #3, or a can of acetone (and some Oxy Clean for washing afterward). I tried the bug repellent on one spot of the comforter and then Motsenbocker's on another. The bug repellent seemed to lighten the stain, but the Motsenbocker's was actually LIFTING the stain off of the fabric, so I switched to that. I had to spray, blot, and rub the spot with a soft-bristled toothbrush about 25-30 times, but IT COMPLETELY CAME OUT.If you use Motsenbocker's make sure you have a towel or something absorbent under whatever you are cleaning to catch the stain dripping through from the other side! if this doesn't work try the bug spray!!
Try hairspray. May have to spray and rub several times. Do this right before you wash it.
