Does anyone know what would cause my apartment to smell like nail polish? (and no, it's not nail polish)?

I don't know what to do to get rid of the smell because I don't know it's source. It smells almost like nail polish (but it's definitely not that) it permeates my entire apartment unless the windows are all left open. I don't know if it's caused by something I need to worry about or not. It's not the rotten egg, headache causing smell of natural gas. But that's the only thing I can think of that would cause the place to smell. Any suggestions??Does anyone know what would cause my apartment to smell like nail polish?

Any recent painting or use of lacquer? Any new furniture that might use a wood lacquer?Does anyone know what would cause my apartment to smell like nail polish? (and no, it's not nail polish)?
it might be one of your neighbors since your in an apartment. tell your landlord right away as it may be dangerous. and i hope its not anyone cooking drugs or nuthing
I agree with the previous writers about the meth lab. But it could also be a dry cleaner in your neighborhood with an exhaust fan in your area. Don't postpone finding out. It could be dangerous to your health and, if druggie, your life.


Call the police and the health department.
It is an apartment, and the smell of acetone could be, as the previous poster stated, that someone is cooking illegal drugs.





Contact your local police, and report it to the street crimes unit. If you can, keep track of all the license plates of visitors to their unit. Detectives will ask you to do that first, then they run checks to find that some may be stolen cars or gawd knows what.





Don't take it lightly. These activities only get worse and soon you'll be waking in teh middle of the night to fights between dope heads, prostitution, violence against women, and gawd forbid... children!
If what you are smelling smells like nail polish REMOVER, then it very well could be a meth lab. Nail polish remover is acetone. Below is a list of signs of a meth lab:





';Strong smell that might resemble urine, or unusual chemical smell like ether, ammonia, or acetone.


Little or no traffic during the day, but lots of traffic at extremely late hours.


Extra efforts made to cover windows or reinforce doors.


Residents never putting their trash out or burning all trash.


Lab materials surrounding property (lantern fuel cans, red chemically stained coffee filters, clear glass jugs and duct tape).


Vehicles loaded with trunks, chemical containers, or basic chemistry paraphernalia - glassware, rubber tubing, etc.


Laboratory glassware being carried into residence.


Inhabitants smoking outside due to the fumes.


Dying grass or plants in a particular area. ';
