1
Remove any old nail polish from your toenails with a cotton ball soaked in a non-acetone based nail polish remover. Change cotton balls frequently so you are not redepositing pigment on the toenails.
-
2
Wash and dry your toenails with soap and water to remove any dirt or grime. Use a nailbrush or an old toothbrush to get grime out of the nail ridges.

3
Rub a cut lemon on any surface stains then wash and dry toenails to remove the lemon juice.
-
4
Combine three capfuls of hydrogen peroxide with 1/3 cup of water. Soak your toenails for two minutes to remove any remaining stains. Scrub nails with a nailbrush or an old toothbrush if soaking alone doesn't remove the stains.
-
5
Treat your nails with a cuticle oil containing vitamin E after all the soaking and scrubbing. Remove the oil with a non-acetone nail polish remover before applying a clear base oil to your clean nails.
