How to Get Nail Polish Out of Flagstone

Flagstone is a flat stone that is used for various types of construction projects including to pave patios, walkways and slabs. When nail polish spills on flagstone, it binds and dries quickly. However, removing the nail polish from the stone isn't as scary as it may sound. To protect the flagstone from getting a permanent stain, attend to the nail polish spill as soon as possible. With the necessary cleaning tools, you can complete this project successfully.
