Apply a small quantity a detergent* (our free spot out works good for this) solution to the spot. Use a blotting motion to work the detergent into the affected area.

Nail Polish.
Remove as much of the nail polish as possible using a spoon or dull knife. Apply a non-oily nail polish remover to a clean white cloth and gently rub (in only one direction at a time) or blot the spot. Continue until spot-stain is removed. Do not allow nail polish remover to get to the latex backing. Go to step 3 to remove nail polish remover.

Vacuum using crevice tool of vacuum cleaner to remove the soot. If all, or most, of the soot has not been removed, call McCreary's Healthy Homes. If vacuuming has removed all particles go to step 1 of general procedure to remove any traces.
Cleaning but won't budge?
Acid toilet bowl cleaners, acne medication, alkaline drain cleaners, chlorinated bleaches, hair dyes, iodine, insecticides, mustard with turmeric, plant fertilizers, pet urine and stains of this nature cannot be removed as they have permanently altered the carpet's color. Most likely the only solution is to insert carpet from a closet, or some other area into the area where the spot-stain was cut out.
