Answer:
General Info: Be sure to check the helpful hints for the Do's and Don'ts of stain removal and Six Sure Ways to Set Stains. Tools & Chemicals: Acetone,Dry cleaning solvent,dish washing or fine fabric detergent, white terry towels, white vinegar, warm water, measuring cup, vacuum. Technique: Work on removing the stain as soon as you notice it. The longer the stain is left on the carpet the greater the chances are of the stain setting. In every case remove all excess wet or dry material before attempting to clean. Blot wet materials using a white terry towel (check helpful hints for a detailed description of blotting). Vacuum excess dry materials or gently scrape up materials with a spoon. Apply a small amount of acetone to the white terry towel and blot the stain. Continue until no further transfer of material to the towel is apparent. If the stain remains proceed to the next step. Apply a small amount of dry cleaning solvent to the white terry towel and blot the stain. Continue until no further transfer of material to the towel is apparent. If the stain remains proceed to the next step. Mix 1/2 tsp. of dish washing soap or fine fabric detergent into 1 (8 oz.)cup of warm water. Apply a small amount, blot or tamp and repeat until the stain is removed. Be patient. Complete removal may require repeating the same step several times. Tamp down on the carpet, do not scrub as this may distort the texture of the pile. Cover the stain with the towel and press down repeatedly to absorb the stain material and detergent. Once the stain is completely removed, rinse the area with cold water; blot with a dry white terry towel until all moisture is removed. Repeat this process several times to remove cleaning solution residue. (Residue can attract soils). If the spot or stain turns brownish when dry, mix 1 part white vinegar and two parts water. Apply a small amount and blot. Repeat only once. Precautions: Never use a stronger concentration than is recommended. Never use laundry detergent or automatic dish washing detergents because they may destroy or dye some fibers. Never use non-volatile solvents as they can cause delamination in synthetic carpets either immediately or over a period of time. Non-volatile solvents do not dissipate at room temperture & will remain in your carpet. Never pour solvents directly onto your carpet or saturate your carpet. Instead apply the solvent to a white terry towel and blot the stained area. Never use highly combustible solvents such as gasoline or paint thinners.

nail polish effects the glue in the carpet, if you rub it , it will losen the glue , meaning the carpet will fall apart. the best thing to do is let it dry,DON'T TUOCH IT. and it will just fade it , not remove it, you can delute it with water,DON'T TOUCH

Throw away the carpet. Carpets are a gross invention. Hardwood flooring is sexier.

Nailpolish removers are Acetone based.... but have oils to protect our cuticles etc which tend to spread the polish.... You need to use a PURE acetone solvent...."Use sparingly"..as in DAMP rag ...or whatever......... Answer above is also correct.... using too much (wetting the area) can damage the carpet bonding...

You CAN get it out, but it's going to take LOTS of patience!! This is a very tedious job! First, in an indiscrete area, to make sure it doesn't damage the carpet, test some acetone nail polish remover. Definitely TEST this first! You don't want to ruin your carpeting if this doesn't work on it!! IF it's safe to use, drip the acetone nail polish remover onto the stain with a spoon, drip it on, do NOT pour! If you pour, it will spread the polish! Then, in a pulling up motion, blot the stain with a paper towel, make sure when blotting, you're pulling up! When you get tired of doing this, walk away! It could take awhile! When you come back, keep doing this until the stain is gone. Once the stain is out, flush the area with club soda, and clean it well with a carpet spotter.
