How do you get fingernail polish off of hardwood floors (without stripping them)?

This is going to sound crazy but it worked for me. I dabbed on a little clear nail polish on top of the nail polish on the floor and it wiped right off.


Once I used Liquid Gold Furniture Polish on oil based enamel and it removed it with no effort and did not ruin the finish on my wood floor.How do you get fingernail polish off of hardwood floors (without stripping them)?
get some tissue or cotton wool and put a tiny bit of nail varnish remover on it and only wipe over the nail polish stain it worked on my floor :)How do you get fingernail polish off of hardwood floors (without stripping them)?

use non -acetone nail polish remover. and use q-tips. work small areas at a time. then afterwards, rinse, and use some types of wood conditioner. depending on type of flooring...
if the boards had prior varnish...


if you have heard of a wood working scraper (not the kind that is used on windows) then use this to scrape the POLISH OFF BUT NOT TOO DEEP so you dont take the varnish off. THIS IS THE BEST WAY

you can make a scraper out of any hardened steel sheet (an old wood saw can be used as a scraper if you file the blunt edge)





or if you dont have a scraper get a sharp blade and cut layers off the top slowly until it's level with the rest of the floor and then polish with a car cut and polish paste.





or, sand it off using the same careful patience not to go too far into the old varnish.
freeze it
