Accidentally spilled nail polish on your outdoor cushions? Don’t panic! While nail polish can be stubborn, there are effective ways to remove it without ruining the fabric. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you tackle the stain:

1. Act Quickly: The sooner you address the stain, the easier it will be to remove. Blot excess polish with a paper towel—avoid rubbing to prevent spreading.

2. Use Acetone or Nail Polish Remover: Apply a small amount of acetone-based nail polish remover to a cotton ball or cloth. Gently dab the stain, working from the outside inward to avoid spreading. Test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure colorfastness.

3. Rinse with Mild Soap: After removing the polish, rinse the area with a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap to eliminate residue. Blot dry with a clean towel.

4. Try Rubbing Alcohol for Delicate Fabrics: If acetone is too harsh, rubbing alcohol can be a gentler alternative. Apply sparingly and rinse thoroughly.

5. Wash if Possible: If the cushion cover is removable, machine-wash it according to the care label after treating the stain.

For stubborn stains, repeat the process or consider a specialized upholstery cleaner. Always air-dry cushions completely before using them again. With these tips, your outdoor cushions will look as good as new!
