How do you remove nail polish from your fabric sofa?

try nail polish remover

My solution was, get a washcloth, put a little bit of rubbing alcohol on one side and scrub scrub scrub. It will take it out a little bit. Then wait for no more than a minute! and Pour Acetone nail polish remover on the other half of your washcloth and scrub scrub scrub! Mine came out perfectly easy!
If you are really carefull, a tiny bit of nailpolish won't hurt! All you have to do is get a tissue, or something you scrub nail polish normally off with, and get a little bit of remover on it, just enough so it's not really "wet," it just has it on it. From there I would dab lightly, see what happens!! Hope this helped!

I'm not 100% sure, but it worked for my leather bag so good luck!

How do you get sharpie off of your dresser?

I have used nail polish remover very sparingly or you can try goo gone.

I know I personal looked online everywhere on how to get a crayon off walls,cabniets.door, everything. I figure it would work about the same as sharpie too the best one i have tried and used yet that is home practical is toothpaste and a toothbrush or small scrub brush but only white toothpaste a colored paste will stain whatever you use on it. it comes right off for crayons anyways and i had tried every cleaner or anything on it and nothing got it up so i tried it before goo gone stuff and it worked WELL. try that.

Seconding the GooGone product - but, perhaps you should give the Mr.Clean Magic Eraser a try? Though, be warned, I'm not very familiar with either product for this particular usage, so I'm not sure if it will "strip" the paint from your walls, etc.....Goo Gone, you basically put a pea-sized amount on a wash rag (microfiber works great so I hear) and work it into the stain until it comes up. But not sure about the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, but it does get rave reviews!

perfume takes it away faster!

Rub it with Goof Off, then gently slide a craft knife blade under the edge and lift it. Most times it will come off easily as this flooring has a very hard glossy finish. If a residue mark is still apparent, rub it with Goo Gone.

How do you get paint of the leather sofas?

These type of cleaner pads are not really safe to use on leather as they are abrasive and can remove the finish or pigment along with the dye transfer.. Dye transfer on leather can be removed using a leather safe cleaner like LTT Maxi Cleaner which was developed for that type of problem. If it cannot be removed with this then the problem is a technical one rather than a cleaning one and should be resolved by a qualified technician.

Use acetone. It'll eat it right out. And probably the couch material as well.

How do you remove a stain from denim jeans on vinyl?

A good carpet shampooer should do the job. If you don't own one, rent one as they are commercial machines and much better than the ones you buy. If you have a "Home Depot" hardware store where you live then rent your machine from them and use their product "ZEP." Use the upholstery nozzle and go at it. Doesn't take much. You might as well do all the seats while you are at. Read the directions on the tank of the machine and DON'T SOAK the areas you are cleaning. It's the foam that does the trick. If you don't have a "Home Depot" then go to any large grocery store and they rent out commercial shampooers. If you keep your vehicle very clean and it's just a few spots, just buy the shampoo product, put some in a basin of warm water, take a medium small brush (even a mushroom cleaning brush will work or a tooth brush) and lightly scrub away. Then rinse well.

How do you clean a chandelier?

Disconnect the chandelier from the power supply. Place a thick blanket on the floor under the fixture, which will soften the fall should you accidentally drop a crystal prism. Climb the stepladder and remove all the bulbs in the chandelier that can be removed without using tools. Clean in sections. Carefully remove the crystals from a section of the chandelier, and place them on the first towel. Wipe and buff the frame. Reassemble the fixture, being careful not to twist the chandelier too much, since doing this can loosen it from the ceiling.

How do you get the hard spot off a blanket after you spilled nail polish on it?

Nail polish remover could be used, but it is going to thin the polish out as it dissolves it and it will spread into a bigger yet lighter stain. To try to avoid this, I would soak the nail polish stain as well as a decent size area around the stain with nail polish remover. As soon as the nail polish dissolves, which may take some gentle scrubbing with a brush, I would flush the area with running water. Once wet I would apply an adequate amount of industrial hand cleaner such as Goop, to break down the solvents of the polish and remover, then rinse in water again. I've seen this method used on a pair of white linen pants and it worked great. The results will depend on the type of fabric the blanket is made of and it could ruin the blanket altogether depending on the fabric. I would try a small amount of the polish remover on perhaps a corner of the blanket first to see if it attacks the fabric or any dyes in the fabric.

First treat the crayon stain with WD40 let sit for a few minutes then treat again. Then treat with liquid dishwashing detergent and work it in gently. wash in as hot a water as you feel safe with

use a laundry detergent and color safe bleach

wash at least 12 min on high

rinse with warm water.

This suggestion is meant more for washable fabric obviously but if you are careful I think that you can make it work for you. the WD40 is the trick to break it down and the dish detergent is a grease fighter. I wish you well.

I had to do this process to an entire load of laundry worth over $200. It worked.

How do you get cat pee off couch?

There are many cleaners on the market to choose from. Many of them result in less than satisfactory results and failed cleanup can often lead to a greater frustration then the actual incident causing the stain.

If you have ever run into an instance where you tried to clean a mess, and found yourself with either a bigger mess, or a mess that resurfaced in a few days, you haven't used Genesis 950. There are several different types of pet accidents, and Genesis 950 can address them all.

The most common issue is urination and marking. It is crucial to clean this type of mark immediately for a variety of reasons. Perhaps the most obvious reason is the smell. Not only is the smell unpleasant, but if the odor is not removed, your pet, whether it be a cat or dog, will continue to mark in that spot. By instinct, animals relieve themselves where they smell previous odors. If you do not remove the smell, the instinct to urinate or mark there will continue. Many cleaners simply mask or hide this smell rather then eliminate it. Pet owners who have tried enzymatic cleaners are often irritated when the smell returns a few days after cleaning. This occurs because enzymatic cleaners often expend themselves before getting to the heart of the stain. They do not have the power to breakdown all elements within the stain. In addition, the protein in these cleaners dies out. After dying out, they become targets for bacteria, which revives foul odors. Genesis 950 completely deodorizes the area completely removing the smell and preventing it from returning.

Another issue related to urination and marking is the bacteria and germs found in the urine. It goes without saying that such marking is unclean. When carpet or upholstery is affected by pet markings, it attracts bacteria. Mold and fungus can also arise when the moisture penetrates the carpeting. Many cleaners available do not have the ability to actually kill these elements. Genesis 950 contains antibacterial agents to completely kill any bacteria, mold or fungus that may be breeding in the carpet. There are those who may recommend vinegar and ammonia as proper agents to clean stained areas. However, you should NEVER use either of the two to clean your carpet or upholstery if you have pets. Both ammonia and vinegar have agents in them that can also be found in pet urine. Cleaning with these products in your home would only encourage your pet to resume urinating or marking tht area. Once you clean the area completely and correctly, your animal will not have the urge to continue to mark in that spot. It is imperative that the area be cleaned properly, not only for visual appeal, but for health issues.

Dye in pet food can also be a burden - especially when the pet doesn't agree with the food and you have light colored carpet. Now, you are not only dealing with smell and bacteria, but you are also dealing with color. Perhaps this is one of the most challenging stains to remove involving pets. Often times, scrubbing the area with the wrong product leaves to smearing, soaking or highlighting the stain. Those stains can easily be removed with Genesis 950.

Genesis 950 works like no other cleaner. It is a surfactant based cleaner. Because of this, it is designed to work with water to break the bonds of stains and lift them from the surface. There is no alcohol, acid, bleach, ammonia or other harsh toxins, making it safe for you and your pets. Use it as a spot cleaner, or in a steam cleaner. Put an end to the frustration of unsightly pet stains, lingering odors and your animals continuing to go in the wrong spot.

How do you clean galvanized steel?
