Fingernail polish landing on the carpet rather than on your nails might seem like a manicure disaster. But before you start cutting out the stain with your cuticle scissors, try this simple homespun solution.
 
    Steps:

1.      Pour dry cleaning fluid over the stain.
 
2.      Blot with a dry, white cloth.
 
3.      Apply a small amount of mild liquid detergent to the stain.
 
4.      Blot again with the cloth.
 
5.      Flood the stain with water.
 
6.      Blot again with the cloth.
 
7.      Pour a small amount of ammonia on the stain.
 
8.      Blot again.
 
9.      Apply a little more liquid detergent to the stain.
 
10.      Blot again.
 
11.      Flood the area with water.
 
12.      Blot one last time.
 
    Tips:

    Dry cleaning fluid can be purchased at a home supply store or a dry cleaners.
 
    Always test the cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area of the carpet before applying them to a large area.
 
    Use a white cloth rather than a colored one to prevent any dyes from coming off on the carpet.
 
    As you blot, keep turning the cloth so that you are using a clean, dry section to pick up the stain and the cleaning fluids from the carpet. Don't rub.
 
    If using a brush to help clean the stain, always brush from the outer edges of the spill inward to prevent the stain from spreading.
 
 
    Warnings:

    Do not use nail-polish remover as it may bleach the carpet.
