Hello! Lifehacker has detailed material with instructions to help you get makeup stains off clothes, furniture and carpets. Here we will only talk about how to remove nail polish from clothes.

What you need: nail polish remover with acetone, paper towels, white rag, cotton swabs, alcohol, pipette. Here's what to do:

1. Remove a drop of nail polish from the fabric as soon as possible. But don't wipe it off, scrape it off with something.
2. If the fabric does not contain acetate, triacetate or acrylic, apply some nail polish remover to the inside seam to see if it will ruin the color of the fabric. If this happens, contact the dry cleaner. If not, feel free to use the product.
3. Place a few paper towels under the stain to absorb excess nail polish remover.

4. Soak a white cloth or cotton swab in the liquid and gently wipe the stain from the edges to the center.
5. If after that it has not disappeared, soak a cotton swab in alcohol and rub the place until there is no trace of the stain. Wash the thing.
