How to Remove Nail Polish from Hardwood Floors & Wood Furniture
When applied to toes and fingernails, nail polish does a great job of decorating and protecting. When accidently applied to wood floors and wood furniture, it’s not such a good look. Unless nail polish is permanently banned from the planet, there will be accidents. When nail polish spills, panic can quickly ensue. But getting nail polish off wood—whether it’s flooring or furniture—shouldn’t have your blood pressure soaring.
When you need to figure out how to take nail polish off wood, Tub O’ Towels heavy duty wipes are here for you. They’re specially formulated to tackle the most daunting stains and spills, even nail polish.
The Harder Way to Get Nail Polish off Wood
Search “how to remove nail polish from wood floors” or “how to remove nail polish from wood furniture” and more panic might ensue because you’ll see any number of suggestions and home remedies—and a warning that part of the finish might also be removed when removing nail polish from wood.
- If the nail polish is still wet, dab gently with tissues or a cotton swab to absorb the excess.
- Use a clean, white towel or cotton swab to dab a bit of rubbing alcohol on the spot before trying something harsher.
- Test the alcohol on an unnoticeable area of your wood floor or furniture before applying to the stain.
- If rubbing alcohol doesn’t get nail polish off the wood, dab it with mineral spirits. Use as little as possible because it might remove the finish.
- As a last resort, use nail polish remover. Try a non-acetone based brand first.
- If you still don’t have luck, use an acetone-based nail polish or a lacquer thinner. Again, use as little as possible and only on the stain itself so you don’t have a major refinishing job because either product will take the finish off of the floor or furniture.
- Lightly sand the now unfinished area and then recoat it with an oil-based urethane.
