any advice i got a call saturday that it had been spilt an hour beforer so i went round with my extraction machine and tried to remove but only could lighten it.

i used unbelievable spotter but no good tried gum off it and still only lightened it not fully remove.

Can anyone recommend a way to remove this or is it a permenant stain because of the colour and waht it is?

thanks for any help on this.

chemspecs POG works every time, just you need to rinse out the POG afterward but power burst will do that

[Phil @ Extreme Clean]

Thanks Paul doe's POG need acid rinsing or just water Thanks.

pog extract pog extract pog extract, i did a pot of nail varnish like this and got the lot out, yes cream wool,l all though the varnish was purple, i always use an acid rinse on wool regardless.

I normally find only acetone ( nail varnish remover ) will do the job properly as this is what its designed for.

readily available from a local chemist.

Hi Phil

Acetone is ionic and is therefore soluble in water, the product you buy will be diluted with water anyway.

The more concentrated the more effective, you can buy it on line, ebay etc.

It is never a good idea to pour any solvent on, you may delaminate the backing among other things.

Start by applying with a cotton bud or onto a towell and gently rub in.

Cheers

Doug

This is the stuff you want.

The stuff you get from Boots is diluted pish.

I've never had any luck removing it using standard solvents like POG or solvex etc

Shellac nail varnish is the hardest to remove. Alway ask the customer if its Shallac, if they say yes you can warn them it probably wont come out.

same as derek i go for pog but make sure there is good ventelation  del

[peter maybury]

I pay as much for 25 ltrs of acetone as i would for about 3 ltrs of pog. The acetone is also so much more effective on nail varnish, I know what to carry on using.

Take care not to be too aggressive  when agitating you may remove the stain but leave a "fluffy" carpet

can aid in removal, agitate to much then you damage fibres.

Always make me wonder why people get so hung up ordering base products when you can buy from a supplier direct, and get the support and data sheets supplied for free. plus they can worry abut holding stock.

Honestly nail varnish stain like this the pots going to cost 4-5quid tops,  if that hurting your profit raise your prices so it doesn't   

Spots are difficult to price as you used the most products for the size of area, but customers understand if ou explain this to them.

Whats the best technique to prevent seepage of the pigment into the wool?
