Removing nail polis REMOVER stain from bathtub

mel.b

So in a series of very stuipid things to do i have ended up with a massive green coloured stain in my bathtub from nail polish remover. Google hasn't been a lot of help but i'm about to try toothpaste and baking soda (although not at the same time!) any other ideas on what to try to remove it? I don't know what sort of bath it is - probably enamel? Certainly nothing fancy or expensive anyway.

So the baking powder worked to remove the grey paint that wasstained into the nail polish remover stain (said there was a series of big mistakes - it began with paint!) but the nail polish remover stain is still there. I think it has probably damaged the enamel as the parts where the stain is feels rough. Might need to look at getting the bath resprayed...will be cheaper than a bathroom reno anyway!

An enamel coated bath would made from pressed steel and would feel and sound solid when tapped with your knuckle. Enamel is essentially a glass coating and would be unaffected by nail polish remover.

I think what you have is a fibreglass bath. They are cheaper, flex a little, and have a dull plasticy sound and feel when tapped. The shiny acrylic plastic finish also scratches more easily than enamel and can be damaged by harsh chemicals such as the acetone in nail polish remover.

Unfortunately I don't think there much can be done to repair the damage other than get it resprayed. Any spot treatment you do would still be very noticeable imo.

Pure acetone might work.... If it melts gel and acrylic, it may remove the stain....
Would white spirits work? Never used the stuff personally!
