in Old style MoneySaving
My toddler has emptied a bottle of pink nail polish on the upstairs carpet, had a good walk around to make sure every room got a bit. Honestly, he stood on the bed and got a long handled brush out of the bathroom to get hold of it !!! Anyhow, any ideas how to shift it please????

    Don't think U'll ever get it out...

    Best thing to do would be to cut a square around the stain then , cut another sqaure of carpet from under a piece of furniture, and swap them.

    vio la

    the stain in moved to under the other piece of furniture.
