How do you clean nail polish off a microfiber couch?

My daughter dumped a whole bottle of pink nail polish on our cream colored couch. I have tried to use nail polish remover on it, but did not lift much off. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -we put the nail polish where we the medicines and stuff now. I guess a little to late. Thanks.How do you clean nail polish off a microfiber couch?
The only commercial product I can think of that might help you is called ';Oops';, which is used for removing ink, dye, and paint stains. It's HIGHLY flammable, and would be TOXIC if ingested, so this is a job your ittle one probably shouldn't help with.


Get one container of ';oops'; (sold at wal-mart), and a stack of white towels/washclothes/rags...do not use colored rags, or you WILL have dye transfer.


Saturate one towel with the oops, and lay it over the nail polish stain, allowing it to soak in...lift off, replace with the next towel, saturated in oops, repeat until you have lifted the stain, then blot dry with white towels. Do not allow colored fabric to come in contact with the stain until the ';Oops'; is completely dry. This should remove most of the stain depending on how long it has set in.How do you clean nail polish off a microfiber couch?
U CANT. U MIGHT AS WELL COLOR IT ALL PINK NOW
gently scraped the nail polish (with the tip of a butter knife) trying to get the top layer off and then with a washcloth (light color so as not to transfer color ONTO the sofa) rubbed and scraped directly over the polish until it was clean.You need to just shape the cloth over your finger, put the tip in the opening of the remover bottle and moisten the cloth. Use your fingertip in the cloth to rub a small section of the microfiber until it comes clean and then with white paper towels (maybe a white towel would work also) rub across that small spot back and forth until it is nearly dry-this prevents rings from forming around where you cleaned. If you get the sofa too wet it will be hard to avoid rings. You need to only let each small part stay wet a few minutes, maybe 8-10 minutes at the most, and then dry it whether you're finished or not. You can go back to it after it dries but you should work fast so as to avoid this. Your chances of getting it completely off are better in the first cleaning. I worked in 1-2 inch sections, it was very tedious and time consuming but it worked. Good Luck!
