Remove nail varnish from table

Question

Is there anyway to remove nail varnish from a wooden table?

Lisa · Answer

Place a tea towel over the stain then iron the tea towel. The towel will absorb the nail varnish as it heats up. Keep repeating with clean area of a towel until all has gone

Cosmin · Answer

1. Start by gently scraping off any excess nail varnish with a blunt object like a spoon or a dull knife.
2. Apply a small amount of nail polish remover containing acetone to a clean cloth or cotton ball.
3. Dab the stained area with the cloth, working from the outside towards the center to avoid spreading the nail varnish.
4. Repeat the dabbing process with a fresh section of the cloth until the stain lightens.
5. Clean the table surface with a mild soap and water solution to remove any residue from the nail polish remover.
6. Dry the table surface thoroughly with a clean towel.

When the nail varnish has absorbed into the wood, Gently rub the stain in the direction of the grain using denatured alcohol and a  cotton swab.Switch to a clean cloth until you have removed the nail varnish.

Gokhan · Answer

While rubbing or denatured alcohol is a proven solution for removing nail polish from wood, how gentle you are in the removal process will determine the end result. Use a clean, soft cloth (felt works great) and try to go in the grain's direction

Test First: Test the nail polish remover on an inconspicuous part of the pillowcase to ensure it won’t damage the fabric or cause discoloration.
	2.	Blot with Nail Polish Remover:
	•	Place a clean cloth or paper towel under the stained area.
	•	Dampen a cotton ball or pad with acetone-based nail polish remover.
	•	Gently blot (don’t rub) the stain, working from the outside in to avoid spreading. Keep switching to clean parts of the cotton pad as the polish lifts.
	3.	Rinse: After most of the polish is removed, rinse the area with cold water to flush out the remover.
	4.	Apply Detergent: Use a small amount of mild detergent on the stained area, gently rub it in, and then rinse with cold water.
	5.	Wash: Launder the pillowcase as usual in cold water, following the care instructions. Air dry to ensure the stain is completely gone; heat from a dryer can set any remaining stain.
