"Scrape off any excess nail varnish gently using a blunt object like a spoon or a butter knife.
2. Place a clean cloth or paper towel underneath the stained area to prevent the varnish from spreading to other parts of the fabric.
3. Apply a small amount of nail polish remover containing acetone to a clean cloth or cotton ball.
4. Blot the stained area with the cloth or cotton ball soaked in nail polish remover. Be careful not to rub the stain, as this can cause it to spread further.
5. Continue blotting until the stain starts to lift. It may take several attempts to fully remove the stain.
6. Once the stain is removed, launder the pillowcase according to the care instructions on the label."

"Place a tea towel over the stain then iron the tea towel. The towel will absorb the nail varnish as it heats up. Keep repeating with clean area of a towel until all has gone"

"How do you get nail polish out of a pillow case?

Grab non-acetone nail polish remover and pour a small amount on a clean cloth. Carefully blot the stained area. Repeat process until the stain is removed."

"To remove a nail varnish stain from a pillowcase, gently blot the area with a paper towel or old cloth to prevent it from soaking into the fabric. If the stain is dried, use nail polish remover, test a small area first, and dab a small amount onto the stain. Blot the area from the outside to the center to prevent spreading. Continue blotting until the stain lifts. Rinse the area with cold water to remove any remaining remover. Apply liquid detergent directly to the stained area and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Wash the pillowcase in cold water and mild detergent, avoid using hot water, and air dry it. Avoid using a dryer until the stain is completely gone, as heat can set any remaining stain."

"• Test the nail polish remover on an inconspicuous part of the pillowcase to ensure it won’t damage the fabric or cause discoloration.
• Blot with Nail Polish Remover:
• Place a clean cloth or paper towel under the stained area.
• Dampen a cotton ball or pad with acetone-based nail polish remover.
• Gently blot (don’t rub) the stain, working from the outside in to avoid spreading. Keep switching to clean parts of the cotton pad as the polish lifts.
• After most of the polish is removed, rinse the area with cold water to flush out the remover.
• Use a small amount of mild detergent on the stained area, gently rub it in, and then rinse with cold water.
• Launder the pillowcase as usual in cold water, following the care instructions. Air dry to ensure the stain is completely gone; heat from a dryer can set any remaining stain."
