How to Get Makeup Stains Out of Practically Anything

I hate to admit it, but I've knocked over more than a few bottles of nail polish while giving myself a pedicure. If you also have clumsy tendencies, first consider where you've spilled the polish.

If your spill is on hard wood floors or furniture, don't use nail polish remover! Instead, grab some hair spray and spritz it all over the spill. After 20 seconds, wipe with a paper towel. Keep repeating this process until the polish vanishes.

Did you spill on your carpet? Light colored carpets can stand up to nail polish remover. If your carpet is dark, try using hairspray or rubbing alcohol, and blotting with a sponge or paper towel.
