Does anyone know how to get nail polish out of flannel pants and a bed sheet?

We had heard to rub it with nail polish remover and a rag and tried it but it doesn't work. Its been in the fabrics for about 2 weeks and we can't get it out. Really need to get these out! Help please!Does anyone know how to get nail polish out of flannel pants and a bed sheet?
Try Acetone from the hardware store -- it is basically the same solution as nail polish remover, only in a stronger form.





First, soak the stain in a glass bowl of acetone (metal might react, plastic might melt) for a few minutes, and then discard the soaking acetone. Then stretch the stained cloth over the glass bowl and make sure the stained side is down, then pour acetone through the stain to flush it out. Repeat with fresh acetone until stain is removed. Then wash the item normally and air dry. Check for acetone smell and rewash if needed. Air dry until you are sure the acetone is out, as it is VERY flammable. Use caution and keep the kids away from this project.Does anyone know how to get nail polish out of flannel pants and a bed sheet?
You are out of luck. I have had that happen and never could get it out. Sorry.
try taking it to your local dry cleaner and they may be able to help.
You may be too late since you've already used nail polish remover on it; but take them to the dry cleaners. I once dropped Liquid Paper into the lap of periwinkle blue poly/cotton trousers. I took them directly to the cleaners and they got it out. Be sure you point out every spot to them.
you can use fingernail polish remover. It will take it out....
i spilled nail polish on the carpet, and went to nail manicurist, and shes said sol!!! she said nail polish remover will make it spread, like a bad stain. sorry. the best you can do, is wait for it to dry


and then scrape it off.


hope this helps
