I do not know what material your tub is made of, acrylic, fiberglass, etc.? It would seem like nail polish remover would do the trick? Try googling, 'how to get nail polish off of tub.' I just checked google and there is a lot of info on nail polish removal.

If it's good quality acrylic or porcelain over cast iron, nail polish remover will work without harm. I have an acrylic tub and have had to make a few small clean-ups over the year without any issues.

Robin Adkins · Answer

Or try some 'goof off' or 'oops'. this stuff removes all kinds of problem/issues. I have safely used on kitchen cupboards, clothing, sinks, etc.

I would be very careful before putting nail varnish remover on an acrylic tub, you may find it eating into the tub! As Karen stated, Google it first . :-)

Use non acetone polish remover, just to be safe

Jennie Herrick · Answer

The only thing that will remove it is either nail polish remover or pure acetone. Honestly though I would go with a non-acetone nail polish remover so you don't cause any damage to whatever finish is on your tub. Be sure to rinse the area very well with lots of warm water afterwards to also help to prevent damage. Good Luck!

Maybe you could try a straight edged razor--very carefully!?

Pam Dewitt · Answer

I would only use non-acetone nail polish remover. The only else thing would be Remover that is used on wood or steel but make sure you have good air like a window open.

I recently did the same thing....navy polish in my brand new tub :( Nail polish remover lightened it a bit, but did not totally remove the stain.

Jennie Herrick · Answer

This might sound strange, but you could always call a nail salon and talk to them about what they would recommend. If after trying non-acetone polish remover the stain was still there, that would be my next logical step. Again, Good Luck!!

Pam Dewitt · Answer

Have you tried mineral spirits? I works on floors with paint and stains when I spelt paint on the garage floor.

Inez Aultman · Answer

Try a thick coat of clear nail polish on top of the spot and let it sit for 30 seconds or so to soften the problem spot. Then scrape with a plastic putty knife. It may take a couple applications/scrapings.

Kalli Brooke Flanders · Answer

Steel wool pads take it right off. I tried everything and this is the only thing that took it totally out!

if it's still wet then putting sugar on it will make it clump off and then you can sweep it out.

I had hot pink nail polish on my acrylic tub. I used an SOS pad and it worked great with no damage (just use it lightly).
