My daughter brought me her tpshirt that has red nail polish on it, along with her blue jeans. any ideas on how ti get it out?What's the best way to remove dried nail polish from a t-shirt?
Cellulose paint thinners (as distinct from white spirit,etc),available from car accessory shops or auto paint suppliers will dissolve it (and NOT the T-shirt!). Work outside because it's a bit whiffy! Put the T-shirt in warm soapy water immediately afterwards.What's the best way to remove dried nail polish from a t-shirt?
Straight acetone(hardware store %26amp; mask), cotton balls, and paper towels. Cover your face with a respirator or a cotton mask (you'll look life a goof ball, but trust me on this one!). Soak a cotton ball in Acetone. Put the paper towels under the material that has polish on it. Dab the cotton ball on the paint until it has bled completely onto the paper towel. Launder ASAP
throw the t-shirt out
well, first i would call or email the company that made the nail polish and ask for recommendations.
if i didn't get a useful answer, i would try removing it gently by patting the dried nail polish a lot using whatever regular nail polish remover you or she typically use to get that brand of nail polish off your fingernails.
It may well be impossible.
the solvents mentioned above will probably disolve the polish, but if it's red, it will leave a pink stain no matter what you do. I'd chuck the clothes.
