If you like to use fountain pens, you might find that you end up with ink all over your fingertips. Nail polish remover can remove these stains quickly and easily.

6. Make porcelain shine like new

When porcelain gets older it can end up with stains that can't be removed with regular polishing. Using nail polish remover instead can remove these stains and leave your porcelain looking shiny and new.

7. Remove stickers and tape

Stickers and tape that have been on something for a while don't come off easily and even when they do, they often leave their sticky glue behind. You can remove this residue with nail polish remover. Simply put some on a cloth and rub the sticky gunk until it's gone.

8. Brighten the soles of your shoes

Are the soles of your shoes looking a bit grey and dirty on the sides? If so, cleaning them with soap probably won't help much. Instead, soak a cotton swab in nail polish remover and rub it on the soles of your shoes until they look white and bright again.

Who would have thought that nail polish remover could be so versatile? And at around $3 dollars a bottle, it's a great deal. Give it a try.
