How to Get Nail Polish Out of Linoleum

When polishing your fingers and toes with nail polish, sometimes accidents happen. A nail polish bottle can tip over or a drop of nail polish can escape the brush and land on your linoleum floor. When accidents happen, wipe up the nail polish with a damp rag. If the nail polish has already dried it can still be removed from your linoleum.
