How to Clean Furniture With Acetone

Open all of the windows in the room and place rubber gloves over your hands. Providing adequate ventilation in the space is extremely important. It is also necessary to protect your hands from harsh chemicals.

Dip a rag in the acetone, allowing a small amount to soak in. Place the wet area of the rag over your pointer finger and middle finger and scrub the affected area on the chair with the acetone. Scrub in a circular motion to remove any buildup.

Apply additional acetone to another area of the rag, and rub the affected area on the furniture in a circular motion opposite to the direction previously scrubbed.

Wipe furniture clean with a damp rag. Remove any acetone from the surface of the furniture. Wipe the furniture dry with a dry rag to prevent any further damage to the furniture.
