How to Get Nail Polish Out of Dry Cleaned Bedding

You're sitting on your bed painting painting your toenails and chatting it up with your best friend on the phone. You just found out that your crush might be crushing back and you couldn't control your excitement. You jump up in delight and before you have a chance to stop it — splat! The bottle of nail polish flew right out of your hand and onto your Egyptian cotton sheets. Apparently candy apple red looks much better on your fingernails than on your bedsheets. Nail polish spills can be tricky to clean up, but if you act fast you can beat the stain.
