What method is recommended for heating nail product remover?

1. Microwave

2. Stovetop

3. Warm water

4. Room temperature

The correct answer is: Warm water

Using warm water to heat nail product remover is recommended because it provides a gentle and controlled way to raise the temperature of the product without risking degradation or altering its chemical composition. Heating with warm water ensures that the remover is warmed thoroughly and evenly, making it more effective for softening and dissolving nail products. In contrast, other methods like using a microwave or stovetop can lead to uneven heating, which can cause hotspots. These hotspots may overheat the product and potentially damage it or create safety hazards, such as the risk of fire or burns. Room temperature does not provide any warming effect, which can be less effective in aiding the removal process when compared to using warm water.
