How to Remove Nail Polish Stains

Leather and Suede

Follow these steps to remove nail polish stains from Leather or Suede:

Carefully scrape excess with a dull knife or spatula. Mix a solution of mild soap in lukewarm water.
Swish to create a great volume of suds.
Apply only the foam with a sponge, but avoid spreading the stain.
Dry with a clean cloth.
If the polish has hardened, try gently rubbing an artgum eraser across it.
As a last resort, cautiously file the area with an emery board or a piece of very fine (grade 6/0-8/0) sandpaper.
As a thin layer of hide is removed, work carefully.
