Removing Nail Polish from Leather

1. Dab off, don't rub, most of the nail polish using a paper towel. Then test the

leather for colour fastness. This will help you determine if the leather can
withstand the chemicals needed to clean it. Take some acetone and dab
an area of the leather that cannot be seen or is inconspicuous. Acetone is
a non-oily fingernail polish remover. Wait a few minutes to make sure the
leather does not change colour.

2. If the leather can withstand the acetone, dab the affected area with small
amounts of the acetone using a paper towel. Keep dabbing until no more
nail polish is coming up on your paper towel. If the acetone damages the
leather you can try using rubbing alcohol. Be sure to test the alcohol first
before using. Use the same method of dabbing.

3. If neither one of these methods work on your leather, contact a leather
professional. They have access to more chemicals and should be able to
remove the stain.
