Remove nail polish?

How would I remove nail polish that was spilled on a blanket? Would nail polish remover take the color out of the blanket's fabric? Help please!

Remove nail polish?
acetone polish remover and other polish removers may melt a synthetic fabric , cotton will not melt but you may get color loss.


do a small test on the corner or less noticeable section of the blanket before you do the actual spot.


There is a product called "mess master" by design master paints you can get it at hobby type stores. it is an aerosol product that removes all types of paints, varnishes, glue etc.


You might want to try removing the spot with that.


When you try to remove the spot, have plenty of clean absorbent fabric or papertowels to remove the polish as it is liquified.


need more suggestions?
Reply:Scrape the excess. Test acetone on an inconspicuous place. If fiber color doesn't change, flush acetone through the stain to an absorbent pad. When no more stain is being removed, change pads and flush well with dry-cleaning solvent. Allow to dry thoroughly
Reply:If the blanket is made from some synthetic fibers it is possible that the nail polish remover, which is really acetone, could melt the fibers. Do a test on a tiny corner first.





What is likely to happen is the acetone will dissolve the nail polish remover and the thinned polish will soak in and spread over an even bigger area, so if you have a little red dab right now you might end up with a big light pink spot.
