Removing set nail polish from hardwood

I accidentally left a not tightly capped  bottle of nail polish (red,
of course) on my end table.  Cat or dog tipped it over, and a pool was
on the floor when I awakened.  I mopped up what could be mopped, but
there is a considerable stain remaining.  Ideas?  I was thinking of
nonacetone nail polish remover which I could, of course, try out on an
out-of-the-way area.  Anyone have any actual experience with this
issue here?

thanks,
TammyM

My experience has been with paint that had dried.  I used that orange stuff
for hardwood.  It removed the paint very nicely and did not leave marks.  I
would be afraid to use any nail remover.  You might want to test it on the
floor in a place where it would not show (maybe a closet) first to see the
results.

Hi Sandra,
I'm not sure what "that orange stuff" is?  I still haven't done
anything!  I will try the non-acetone nail polish remover in an
inconspicuous spot, I can peel back the carpetting in my coat closet
and try it there.  But this orange stuff (?) sounds like it's worked
for you so I"d love to know what it is!

It's called "Orange Glo".  It is a kit I got in Walmart.  It contains a
bottle of Hardwood refiniser, a cleaner, and a dust mop/buffer part.  Good
Luck.
