Hi folks - not a good morning! In my rush to get ready I spilt a single drop of nail varnish on my pale grey cotton cargo trousers. Not a large stain but enough to see it! Tried to remove it with nail varnish remover but it only seemed to make it worse. Does anyone know anything that works please?

a bit of trivia, does anyone know what lovejoy and the good life got in common

arhhh Ironing done and put away, sun shining, it's a lovely day

Hi Ann,
I'm afraid I think it's too late ... http://www.videojug.c...stains-from-clothes-2

By using the solvent, you've dissolved the coloured varnish and it's spread into the fibres. You may find that using more solvent on the stain with a pad of tissue behind it, both dissolves then absorbs the colour. Failing that it's specialist dry-cleaning - though this may cost more than new trousers!

Staindevils (from most large supermarkets/hardware) do one specifically for nail varnish which I have used very successfully when I spilt some on a duvet.
