I tried a cleaning hack to remove nail polish from wooden furniture – I was surprised, it was almost as good as new
A CLEANING whizz has shared her clever tip for getting nail polish stains out of wood furniture.
Her household tip was so effective, the surface looked brand new and unscathed.
Danielle (@lamaisonlongco) filmed her hack from start to finish in a video on TikTok.
“How to get nail polish and acetone off of wood,” read the text.
Next, she shared a clip of herself applying a cloth to the polish-laden wooden furniture.
“Damp cloth and iron for the acetone,” she said. “Repeat if necessary.”
After heating up the surface, she moved on to using a popular cleaning product for tough stains.
“Goof Off for the nail polish,” she said.
She applied the Goof Off while cleaning the nail polish stain in circular motions.
“Old English to camouflage any texture/nicks and restore the shine,” she said.
Goof Off is available on Amazon for $6, while Old English retails for $5.
The final result was a super shiny surface on her restored wooden furniture.
“It’s not bad for a 30-minute flip on a $40 Facebook Marketplace find,” she added.
She said although it’s not brand new, she’s still very pleased with the outcome.
“Pleasantly surprised with this hack to get nail polish and nail polish remover off of furniture.
“This vintage faux bamboo chest I scored on Facebook Marketplace is looking almost good as new, which is about as much as I can ask for around here,” she said.
