So What Happened?

So, i got the nail polish off my nephew, and it was just a good bath, and soap, i use ivory soap for myself just because $ is tight, and i can use it on my kids as well,and well the nail polish came off the floor, but it was my mother who did it, and she used polish remover; and it did take the finish off the floor, but i used this wood floor cleaner & protectant, so it did make the spot a little better, but i don't ever suggest using nail polish remover on wood floors. But i did use "zep" it is a commercial wood floor product, and like i said, it did cover up the stain a little better.
Thank you for all your responses, and advice.
This is the reson i am greatful for this site, and all my fellow moms

Try simple green on the floor. That stuff seems to get most of everything. Just don't put it on your child.

Good luck...!

The child it will come off after a good bath. It adheres to the skin which once wet will soap off.

Your floors, Nail polish remover is going to also remove the floors polish so be careful what ever you use.

I use rubbing alcohol to remove nail polish from about everything. Works great on wood, plastic, tile, etc.. As far as the nephew goes you can use it or nail polish remover and just make sure you wash it off right away after putting it on him. Good Luck!

Whenever I need to find out how to do something, I google it. I dropped nail polish all over a rug once and thought it was a gonner. I googled how to get it out and there were suggestions on there that I followed and it worked and it all came out. Google, "How do I get nail polish off wood floor".... I hope that helps you some.
