How to Get Nail Polish Off of Micro Suede Couches

The Water and Soap Method

• 1

  Mix 2 cups of cold water with gentle liquid hand soap.

• 2

  Moisten a sponge lightly with the mixture and gently dab away the remaining nail polish.

• 3

  Dab the area again with a clean sponge lightly moistened with clean water until all of the polish is gone.

The Solvent Method

• 4

  Blot up as much of the nail polish as you can with a dry sponge. If the nail polish is already dry, scrape as much of the polish off of the couch with a letter opener or straight edge blade, without scraping the couch.

• 5

  Dip a small nailbrush or paintbrush into a non-acetone nail polish remover.

• 6

  Blot the polish or polish stain with the brush. Do this gently and be careful not to get any of the nail polish remover on non-polished or stained areas of the couch.

• 7

  Continue to blot the polish and stain until it gradually dissolves.

• 8

  Dab up the dissolved polish with a clean, dry sponge.
