Nothing spoils the look of a carpeted floor like a stain. Act quickly to remove nail-varnish remover from carpet and avoid discolouration. Nail-varnish removers that contain acetate, fragrance and dyes not only stain, but they also can damage the fibres of the carpet. Acetate fibre carpets are especially vulnerable to damage by acetate nail-varnish remover.

Blot the spill immediately with three to four white paper towels to lift the nail-varnish remover. Use as many paper towels as necessary to blot the spill until it is completely dry.

Blot the area with clean paper towels until the stain lifts. Apply more cleaning solution if necessary.

Blot the area with paper towels dampened with clean water to remove any detergent residue. Blot the area dry. Repeat if necessary.

TIP

Lift flattened carpet fibres with your fingers and allow the area to dry naturally.

WARNING

Never scrub the carpet to remove a stain or clean a spill, as scrubbing can damage the fibres. Do not saturate the carpet or allow water to penetrate to the padding; dangerous mould can grow in carpet padding.
