Unusual uses for nail polish remover at home

It turns out that there are many household hacks using acetone. The product for diluting and removing nail polish contains it in its composition in just the right amount. What exactly can it help with? Let's figure it out.

Cleaning the bathtub, sink and tiles

Stains, dirty stains on plumbing fixtures and other troubles are familiar to every housewife. Moreover, no matter how much you try to wipe them off, it’s unlikely that anything will work.

In fact, the solution is simpler than it seems: just apply a little nail polish remover to the desired areas and leave for 15-20 minutes. After the specified time, it is easily washed off with warm water and soap. The result will exceed all your expectations!

Removing marker from skin

You don't even have to wait to erase permanent marker from your arms, legs, and other body parts that you accidentally touched. Simply dampen a cotton pad with the product and swipe over the marker marks several times.

Remove superglue from the body

Acetone easily softens dried glue. Therefore, drop it in the required place and wait half a minute or a minute, then rinse with warm soapy water.

Whiten the plastic casing of equipment

White surfaces are a real disaster! They look stylish for a couple of weeks, and then strange yellowish spots and streaks appear out of nowhere. Try cleaning the plastic with a microfiber cloth and a couple of drops of nail polish remover.

Degrease clothes

The fat is also neutralized by the solvent. You just need to scrub it off very carefully, with quick, light movements from the edge of the stain to the center. If you leave the product on the fabric, the fibers may begin to separate.

IMPORTANT! Not all materials will withstand exposure to acetone. Please read the reference information carefully!

Wash off ink

The principle of operation is the same as in the previous paragraph. And in order to completely remove traces and not spoil the item, immediately put it in the washing machine. Ink residues will come off easily in warm water.

Unhook the parasite

Ticks, leeches and other pests are very afraid of chemicals. Nail polish remover has a strong unpleasant odor and affects the senses of these creatures. Therefore, it is enough to simply drop it into the place where the parasite’s head is located and wait - it will immediately come out on its own.

Clean the tool from paint and foam

The main thing is to make sure that the stain is fresh. To remove dried materials, you need to resort to more serious means. The foam must first be scraped off with something hard (knife, scissors) and only then try to wipe the surface with an acetone-containing liquid.

Remove traces of glue from the price tag

Glue from labels and price tags can also be dissolved with nail polish remover. You just need to carefully wipe the sticky layer with a rag or cotton pad soaked in this liquid.

All these methods are quite simple and do not require much time.Therefore, even if you do not use nail polish and nail polish remover for their intended purpose, it is a good idea to always keep the latter at home just in case.
