Dark Red nail polish on carpet?

I spilled some dark red nail polish on my carpet. I removed some of it with polish remover, but am afraid to use more because it might damage the carpet. Any ideas on how to get it out.Dark Red nail polish on carpet?
To remove nail polish from carpets, nail polish remover will work but you need to use caution because it can also remove dye from your carpet.On light coloured carpet it might not be noticeable but on darker colours. TEST FIRST!For carpet, always test any kind of chemical stain remover/cleaner in an out of the way place like a corner. Non-acetone polish remover is probably safer but no guarantees. Nail polish remover may be harmful to carpet or fabric.Do not use nail polish remover unless you read the label as it may be harmful to different types or carpet.You could also try using a lot of water, keeping the stain wet, then use about 15-20 squirts of hair spray and 3-5 splashes of rubbing alcohol. Scrub gently with a small scrub brush. Blot with paper towels. Repeat as necessary. Don't forget to keep pouring water during the process. You could try using shaving cream, Windex,or rubbing alcohol. I have heard some of these have worked.


You could even try one tablespoon of ammonia and 1/4 cup hydrogen peroxide depending on what colour your carpet is but make sure the room is well ventilated.Dark Red nail polish on carpet?
let it dry, get on hands and knees with good light and use stout tweezers and a pocket knife to abrade the paint off the fibers. If too stubborn for this and you can get away with it, cut into the dried blob with tiny, sharp sturdy sissors, and brush it with a stiff brush. Or cut out tiny blobs without making too much of a big noticable hole. You can also use something like white-out dry-dabbing ever-so-carefully to soften the garish or pinkish leftover.
I know it's kinda late for this, but I would buy some to keep on hand for the next time. I saw this stuff on one of the home shopping shows. It was shown by a man named PROFESSOR AMOS. Thats the name of his products. The one you need is the one with banana oil. You won't believe the stuff! It works on lots of stains, not just nail polish. I spilled burgundy polish in my husbands new truck. I got out what I could with remover, then used Professor Amos' product, and it all came out. I've used several of his products, and they all do just what he says.
