how can you get fingernail polish off a finished hardwood floor
Little sister spilled some fingernail polish on a finished hardwood floor.
The big chunks came off but the smears aren't. We can not use fingernail
polish remover because it will ruin the floors. help please
You could try using a razor blade to scrap off the polish.
Similar to scraping a mirror or glass, hold the razor at and angle where
it won't dig or gouge into the wood, and try lightly scraping the polish
away. I did this will chewing gum before, and it worked very well.
good luck
