What Do You Do If You Spill Nail Polish Remover On Your Laptop?

Written by Tara

Nail polish remover is acetone and will dissolve the plastic on your device. A better choice would be rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol). I spilled some water on my laptop.

Allow a suitable time for the remover to dry (or evaporate) and then reconnect the battery and turn on the laptop and try the keys once or twice only to see if it is OK or not. If not then you may have to replace the keyboard as when trying to clean/repair keyboards.

Generally How can I get nail polish off my computer? Tip. Use an alcohol-based wet wipe to help remove nail polish from your computer screen. Substitute cotton swabs to clean small nail polish marks so you can direct the cleaning solutions to the source of the stain, rather than dampening the entire screen.
