Come across a nail polish stain? We have all been there. That dreaded moment where you spill something on your carpet. Some carpet stains aren’t so bad and can be cleaned pretty much immediately. However, some carpet stains are set to send you into a spin on how best to deal with them.

Nail varnish is most definitely one of them. The moment you do it, you are likely to feel panicked about where to start. Nail polish pretty much immediately soaks into the carpet fibres. If you are able to remove the actual polish, it is likely that you will still be faced with an unsightly stain from the colour.

This client in St Anne’s unfortunately had a slight accident with a bottle of nail varnish. When she made contact with us, she was under the impression that her carpet was ruined. However, luckily, she chose Brights Cleaning and with our knowledge and expertise we were soon able to completely remove the offending stain. This offered a saving of hundreds of pounds to avoid replacing it.

What is our best carpet cleaning advice?

If you are found in the unfortunate position, faced with a nail polish stain; call a professional. Some clients search the internet for stain advice and are left with a range of supposed ideas that should help remove the stain. Some of these may include:

• Using alcohol and alcohol-based produce to peel away the polish
• Or white vinegar solution to tackle the nail polish stain
• We have even seen it advised to use toothpaste to remove the stain
• Or worse; bleach

It is important that realise that your carpets are fragile. Depending on the type of carpets you have, some may be ruined by bleach or alcohol-based cleaning products. Some products may remove the stain but leave you with hard and crispy carpet fibres.

It really is best to seek the advice of a professional carpet cleaner; call today on 0800 695 3455.
