Removing nail polish

Avoid using household products to remove nail polish.

The internet is full of advice on removing nail polish using household products. Although these methods may seem appealing, we would like to warn you that they can do more harm than good, especially on delicate fabrics and porous materials. Below you can read why it is not wise to use these substances:

• Vinegar is often recommended for hard surfaces, but its acidic properties can cause discolouration or even damage to fabrics and wood.
• Toothpaste is sometimes recommended for removing nail polish, especially from smooth surfaces. Unfortunately, the abrasive effect can leave scratches, especially on delicate or shiny materials.
• Alcohol is a commonly used stain remover, but it can affect the colour of fabrics and dry out or damage surfaces such as paint and plastic.
• Hairspray is sometimes recommended for removing nail polish stains, but it often contains sticky ingredients that can make the stain worse or leave residue behind.
• Turpentine is often recommended for wood or other hard materials, but this solvent can damage paint or finishes and is too aggressive for many materials.

Instead of experimenting with these household remedies, we recommend that you always use safe and effective products such as James Remover or James Stainspray, depending on the type of surface you want to clean.
