Discover new ways to use nail polish remover: Easily remove stains on your china

You can use nail polish remover to remove those nasty stains that can get on your bone china. All you need to do to fix this problem is to put some nail polish remover on a cotton ball and gently rub the stain. After the stain has disappeared, just wash the china as usual.

Discover new ways to use nail polish remover: Help dissolve superglue

I don't know how many times that I have done this. Used superglue to assemble a model car or airplane and had accidentally got superglue on my finger. Forget about trying to peel it off, because then you can cause skin damage because the skin will come off with the glue. To fix this problem, get a cotton ball and put some acetone-based nail polish remover on it and press it against the skin. The superglue will dissolve and you will be free of the superglue.

Discover new ways to use nail polish remover: Help remove paint on windows

When you get paint on windows, your first reaction may be to scrape it off with your fingernails. There is an easier way, just apply some nail polish remover to a clean cloth and dab on the painted areas, but do this in sections. Make sure you are in a ventilated area if there is a lot of paint to remove. Let the nail polish remover sit for a minute or two before wiping it off with a dampened clean cloth.

Discover new ways to use nail polish remover: Remove stubborn ink stains

Use nail polish remover to remove ink stains on your skin. If the stain does not come off with soap and water alone, it probably isn't water-soluble. Apply some nail polish remover to a cotton ball and gently wipe the area of the skin with the ink stain. After the ink stain is gone, just wash the skin with soap and water. This is also a great way to remove ink stains left in a dryer drum.

Discover new ways to use nail polish remover: Save old nail polish or correction fluid

You go to use your favorite color of nail polish when you discover that it has become thick and goopy. You don't have to throw it away, just add a few drops of nail polish remover and shake the bottle gently. The nail polish remover will help to dissolve the polish to its desired consistency. You can do the same thing to old correction fluid, it works great.

These are just some of the uses that you can get out of your nail polish remover. Try some of these tips today and see for yourself.

    I wonder if this is safe to use on vintage china. What do I have to lose? The stains won't disappear any other way that I've tried.
