Hello Mom's
My Great Nephew age 3yrs is a hand full, we took our eyes off of him for a min and this is what happened.
He took soft pink finger nail polish and put it on several things and need to get it off. I already used magic eraser on the hard surfaces and took it off of those things.
I do not know what to use on the Curtian sheers, Recliner, Carpet,(carpet cleaner did not work)and New cloth love seat. picture frames.
I know it sounds like alot of time must have passes since we checked on him. However he is very very active and has a realy sharp mind.
I was going to use nail polish remover BUT the bottle says NOT to use on fabric. My bottle has Acetone in it. Would nail polish that doesn't have Acetone in it work??
Thanks for your help in advance

When my son was about 2.5 he did the same thing but unfortunately it was with a very deep red on grey carpet. I used OxiClean, I just bought a small tub of it. I had to go over it a few times but it did remove the RED polish.
Good luck in removing the polish!!!
I'm not sure how to clean some of the items, but if your carpet is a multi-level carpet, you can just snip out the dried nail polish. My friend's son got black nail polish from Halloween on my beige carpet. I let it dry and used a pair of very sharp pointed scissors to clip out the dried polish. You can't even tell. However, this will not work with a level cut carpet. Good Luck!
I would try the nail polish without acetone. A friend of mine called me one day to come over and watch her twins. She had to go to the store to buy more nail polish remover. Her twins had spilled RED polish all over a couch arm and then played in it. What a mess! It took most of the polish out. She had to work and work at it, but they didn't have to replace the couch. I'd check the label. This was so long ago, that I can't remember what kind of remover she bought. She just grabbed what she had in the medicine cabinet and used it until it was gone, and then went for more. I'm afraid the acetone would melt the fibers in the fabric.
I would like to know the same thing how to get it out of carpet
I have gotten regular wall paint out of carpet using Goof Off. Check out www.goof-off.com. Hope it works!
You might try a small dab of peroxide on an area that cannot be seen to see if it works. I would try a small area first to be sure it does not take the color out of the furniture also.

Our neighbors were carpet cleaners at the time my daughter spilled dark red nail polish on our light beige carpet, and they said nail polish remover would take it out. It did! I can't remember though if it had acetone or not.
Read the bottle, but I would try the non acetone nail polish remover.
A year or so ago I dropped a bottle of red nail polish that shattered on my beige carpet. I was afraid to do anything, so I googled how to get nail polish out of carpet. I hit on Motsenbacher's (probably spelled wrong) Lift Off #3, which I had to order off the internet, and it worked amazingly. You would never be able to tell I'd had an accident. Good luck!
Good Morning * Young Gr ma* D. ;) Is your little great Nephews name Corbin? :)) Sounds like our gr son, he is just as sneaky and quick! I have used Mr Clean eraser for Lipstick, magic marker, Ink pen's, Steam machine for Pepto on carpets & furniture.
You may want to get out the cleaning instruction booklet for your loveseat, dry erase may take it off the picture frame. May call a dry cleaner to check on the sheers.
One Mama usually writes with a not toxic, all natrual cleaner, ( sorry can't remember her name) that may work on it all.
Since you live in Mo, and we live in Ks, maybe our little guys will not meet and share sneaky tales & high Jinks ;)
Good Luck to ya D., hug the little guy he sounds like a keeper.
