Nail polish removal

If the spilled polish is still wet, blot clean and wipe any remaining residue with mineral spirits. Avoid nail polish remover - it contains solvents that can dissolve the furniture finish. If the stain is dry, soak the stain for no longer than five minutes with boiled linseed oil, then scrape off the residue with a nonstick spatula. Repeat the process as needed, wax or polish.
