　　Removing Polish from Carpet

　　清除地毯上的指甲油

　　Carpets of light colors can be cleaned from nail polish by means of a non-acetone polish remover. If the carpet is of darker shades and you are not sure if your polish remover is safe to use on the carpet, try hair spray or alcohol. Use a sponge or paper to blot the polish up. Repeat the procedure until you completely get rid of the polish.

　　对于浅色地毯上的指甲油污渍，用不含丙酮的洗甲水即可搞定。如果是深色地毯，你拿不准用洗甲水可不可行，试着用发胶或酒精清理指甲油污渍。用海绵或手纸吸干污渍。多吸几次，直到把污渍去除。清理纤维布料上的指甲油

　　This is one of the most common surfaces your nail polish may get on. Some fabrics, such as cotton, silk, and wool are natural while others are synthetic.

　　这是最容易沾上指甲油污渍表面的一种。如棉布、丝绸和羊毛这些面料属于天然面料，而有些面料则属于合成面料。

　　Keep in mind that they might react differently to polish remover. Before applying nail polish remover on the cloth, test it on a small area to make sure it is safe for the dye and material. In some cases you can try hair spray. If neither nail polish remove nor hair spray is of help, the only option left for you is to take the item to the dry cleaner’s where professionals will do what cannot be done at home without special dry cleaning solvents.

　　请记住，不同的面料对洗甲水的反应也不同。先在布上小面积测试一下洗甲水，确保它不影响布料的染料和材质。在某些情况下，你可以试试发胶。如果洗甲水和发胶都不好用，我们在家里无法清理干净的话，就只能交给干洗店的专业人士了，干洗店会用干洗溶剂清理。清理头发上的指甲油

　　It’s not that common to have your nail polish get on your hair. Nevertheless, if this happens you can easily fix the problem performing either of the two methods. If the polish is not yet completely dry, you can apply some non-acetone polish remover on a cotton pad and gently run it down the polished hair. If the polish is dry, we suggest you use conditioner or oil instead.

　　指甲油弄到头发上的现象并不常见。尽管如此，一旦遇到这种情况，只需两个方法选一就能轻松搞定。如果指甲油还没有完全干，您可以用化妆棉蘸一些洗甲水轻轻地擦拭头发。如果指甲油干了，我们建议你用护发素或油进行处理。清理木质表面的指甲油

　　Wooden Surfaces

　　木质表面

　　Keep in mind that it is not recommended to use nail polish remover on wooden surfaces. It ruins furniture and your desk or any other item will look even worse with stains that are impossible to get rid of. Fortunately, there is an easy way to fix this issue. All you will need is hair spray! Just spray a considerable amount of this sticky liquid over your nail polish, wait for approximately 20 seconds, and then wipe it all off. Repeat the procedure if needed.

　　记住：不推荐在木质表面使用洗甲水。洗甲水会腐蚀木质家具，你的桌子啊还有其他木质家具表面的污渍会更难看，而且会更难清除掉。幸运的是，有一个简单的方法来解决这个问题：用发胶!只需在指甲油污渍处多喷些发胶，大约过20秒再去擦它。如果喷一遍清理不干净的话，可以多反复多喷几遍。
