How do you get dried nail polish out of a comforter?

I was painting my nails on my bed with black nail polish (stupid i know) and it spilled. Against the green comforter it looks huge. I already tried nail polish remover, water, and hydrogen peroxide. I got really tired and had to go to bed, so is there anyway to get it out once dried? Or at least how much will it cost to get it dry-cleaned?How do you get dried nail polish out of a comforter?

Things You'll Need:


Acentone


Old wash rags or absorbant pads





Scrape the excess paint off of the clothing. I find using a butter knife to lift the excess paint off works well and then I clean it with nail polish remover.





Step 2test a spot of acetone where you cant see it to note any changes. If no changes (discoloration) go on to step 3.





Step 3Flush acetone through the stain to an absorbent pad or rag. Continue to do this until you're not seeing anymore color come through. a white rag or pads would work the best for this.





Step 4Let it dry throughly and then wash twice in the washer. Use a bit of stain remover if you have it. If not dab a little detergant on the spot and let it sit for 10-15 minutes and then throw in the wash
It costs a lot to get it dry cleaned-at least 10 dollars, but it can be up to 35! I would call dry cleaners to get the best price. Explain how this happened and even attach a note saying this. I would do this and while i'm at the dry cleaning store I would ask how exactly they intend to get it out and if it happens again you will know how to deal w/ it. DO NOT USE AMMONIA! It will probably react with the nail polish I had an unhappy experience w/ this.


Also if you really are strapped for cash, you can patch it, just use a coordinating fabric-one that is hard to stain-stain-resistant. Ly it on the comforter in a diamond design for aesthetic purposes. Do not use acetone. The only thing that might help is vinegar or club soda.
This may not be helpful. but if nothing works, just flip over the comforter or get a duvet cover to put on.
you could try pure acetone, but depending on what the comforter is made out of it will probably ruin the comforter. There's not really much you can do about it, I don't think a dry cleaner can fix it either.
