How do I remove dried nail polish from a comforter? It is 100% cotton.
By Shirley
Scrape as much of the dried polish as you can off using your fingernail or the edge of a credit card.
Then use non-acetate fingernail polish remover to get the colour (if any, not all nail polish stains when colouring your nails or anything else) out of the fabric. Non-acetate remover won't eat the cotton fibers.
If you do have some colour staining from the polish after you've used the remover, about the only thing left to do is either leave the mark as a memory (for example if a child or grandchild was playing dress up for the first time), or cover it with either embroidery or a patch of fabric applied as an applique.

I have a down comforter that my wonderful 3 year old spilled nail polish on, any suggestions on how to get it out?
