Tina C Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Bought the girl a lovely pair of white linen-mix shorts - she wore them to a sleepover and - you have guessed it - spilt nail varnish on them. I was not expecting 12 (yes 12 for a sleepover) 7 years olds to be let loose with the nail varnish... Annoyingly she managed to get green nail varnish on white shorts and white nail varnish on a green t-shirt Anyone know of a miracle cure?

BarbaraJ Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 not really sorry only stain devils if they do one for nail varnish. maybe try nail varnish remover if desperate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizinsa Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Since the shorts are white I would try nail polish remover, and as soon as you get the stain out bung them in the wash so it does as little damage to the fabric as possible. As for the t-shirt I'm not so sure I'm afraid because you don't want to remove the dye. Not sure why the girls couldn't have children's polish, it's great as it peels off nails and clothes! Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajm200 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Don't use nail varnish remover on man made fibres as acetone melts some fabrics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 The stain devils one is fantastic. When my DD'd were younger they got hold of a bright red nail varnish of mine and got it all over my best duvet cover. It got it off!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolpack Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I used to get those little sew-on motifs for my daughter's damaged clothing. They don't cost much on the market and can look quite cute, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina C Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 Thank you for your replies - I will give the stain devil a try (if its not too pricey) and I like the idea of sew on motifs as well - that might work if nothing else does.
