    How do you get nail polish remover out of clothes?
    Community Answer
    Mix 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of liquid dish soap with 2 cups (475 mL) of warm water. Apply the solution to the stain with a sponge, then blot it with a clean towel. Keep sponging and blotting the stain until it's done, then rinse it with cold water and pat it dry.

  • Question
    Can acetone ruin clothes?
    Community Answer
    Yes, acetone can ruin certain fabrics. Check the care label on whatever it is that you're trying to clean. It it contains acetate, triacetate, or modacrylic, don't use acetone. Instead, opt for acetone-free nail polish remover.

  • Question
    Is acetone safe for my nylon leggings?
    Community Answer
    Acetone can dissolve nylon very slowly. If it gets onto the leggings, wash it out immediately.
