How to get nail varnish out of the carpet

Options
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.

    :)
  • no help at all I'm afraid..

    but doughball :rotfl: that's a new one on me.

    My mum would say dough head but I've never heard anyone else say it :)
  • Really nothing nail varnish on carpet ok this is a shameless bump but please in a awkward place to rug move the sofa etc.......

    I just kept going over it with nail polish remover and eventually it does come off.. dab it though don't rub it that just spreads it further!
