nail polish in carpet

i was painting Cam's nails the other day when the red nail polish I was using tipped over. I tried using Krud Kutter to get it out but this is the first time it didn't work. Well it got some of it out but left the carpet a little pink. So I looked up what could get it out and the two that had the best reviews were vinegar and windex. The winner? WINDEX!!! Took it the remainder out without ANY problems. There were a couple different spots and I tried a couple combinations and this is my recommendation to you if you ever need to get nail polish out of your carpet:

use vinegar or krud kutter FIRST to try to lift as much as possible. then use windex to get the rest out. if you don't have vinegar or another stain remover product to use first, windex will work all on its own, it just takes a little bit more dabbing/scrubbing.

Another thing that works is shaving cream - the old fashioned kind, not shaving gel. :)
