Help getting fingernail polish off tile grout
My wife spilled a bottle of red nail polish on the bathroom floor. There is
a small section of grout that is blood red now. How can I get the polish off without changingthe tile grout color, which is brown? TIA! |

Fingernail polish remover or straight acetone (the main ingredient in polish remover) should work. -- manhattan42 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ manhattan42's Profile: http://homerepairforums.org/forums/member.php?userid=46 View this thread: http://homerepairforums.org/forums/s...ad.php?t=75585 This post was submitted via http://www.HomeRepairForums.org |

I think this would work if the grout was already sealed, if not the color would just bleed further in. I guess worse thing is to take a grout saw and cut into the grout till the nail polish is gone, and regrout ifyou had to go deep. just a guess, tom @ www.ChopURL.com |

Acetone followed by use of a grout saw. HD sells saws for about $5 in the tile aisle. |
