Tip for a Tuesday....

Is nail polish remover a versatile product?

In the unlikely, or in my unfortunate case likely, event that a small glass container of vibrant red nail polish should descend at a rapid pace and land upon your bathroom floor, shattering and spreading its content, take comfort in knowing that there are several steps you can take to rectify the situation.

After the initial shout of "oh no," quickly followed by continuous sighing, you can grab the paper towels you had the foresight to place under the bathroom sink.   They will, however, only aid in getting up the top layer of red polish and shards of glass.  

Next thought? Well, since nail polish remover can easily remove an unwanted coat from one's nails, could it be it will also work on other surfaces?  Why yes, thank God. Yes it does.

Apply copious amounts of polish remover to the afore mentioned paper towels did succeed in removing a large bulk of the polish from the bathroom tiles.  But I'll be honest.  Seeing as it was now well past 9 p.m. and I was dog tired, I left the detailed removal of the unwanted red stains from the grout lines for the morning.

It took quite a bit of rubbing and the purchase of another bottle of polish remover, but I was able to remove all the bright red stain from the tile and grout.  And most of the polish from the, oh yes, newly purchased sterling gray bathmat which had absorbed the polish on one corner.

My tip? Several, actually.

Always keep a full roll of paper towels in your bathroom.
Always keep a full bottle of nail polish remover in your lower bathroom cabinet.
And never, ever, store nail polish in a wall cabinet.
