Miracle product to remove paint/marker/nail polish?

I bought an antique dresser that is absolutely darling. I've been cleaning it but it's got what looks like nail polish splatters on the top and regular paint on the drawer faces. I have Goo Gone but haven't tried it yet...I don't know if that'll work or not. Also, the dresser itself is painted white so I don't want the cleaning solution to take the paint off...


Any recommedations? Someone said the Mr. Clean sponges...would that work?Miracle product to remove paint/marker/nail polish?
Sure will. That little sucker will clean anything!! Nail Polish can be removed also with rubbing alcohol/nail polish remover, Test a small area you can't see first to see if it takes the finish off first. (Before using the nail polish remover) But try the magic eraser. Im SURE it won't take the finish off the dresser, but i'm not sure it'll take the nail polish out. The alcohol/remover is a last resort... but that magic eraser will get just about anything out!Miracle product to remove paint/marker/nail polish?
Anything you use on an antique has the potential of ruining it.





Mr Clean magic erasers are great, but might remove the old paint.





Goo gone will not remove the nail polish.





The best bet with an antique is to take it to a professional.





If it was not an antique, I would suggest stripping the dresser, and re-staining it.
