How to Get Nail Polish Out of a Fleece Sweater

Use nail polish remover to soften up dried nail polish and remove it from your fleece sweater. The remover you choose needs to be compatible with the fleece type. An acetone remover may be able to rid the sweater of the polish, but if the fleece is wool based, the remover will eat through the fabric as well. If the nail polish is still wet, simply immersing the garment in water will prevent the nail polish from sticking to the fabric.
