Not sure if this is the right place, but my 10 year old daughter has just spilt silver nail polish( Boots GWP :) ) all over my new MOTO jeans, any tips on how to remove, apart from nail polish remover as I think that would also stain the jeans?:confused:

    My 2 year old daughter painted my eldest daughter's duvet cover with nail polish. I couldn't get it off so had to chuck the cover out. Nail polish remover had no effect, but I would imagine it would not be a good idea on jeans anyway. I don't know what else would work.

    acetone free nail polish remover.. worked well on my 100% wool carpet so jeans will be fine!!

    douse it and gently dab the polish off.. DO NOT RUB IT!!!!!!!!!!!! That just spreads it wider and further into the fibres... dab dab dab.. LOOOOONG laborious task!!

    Any marks left by the polish remover usually comes out after having neat washing up liquid rubbed into it..


    guess what I did at the weekend!!!!!!!
