Glue stains on clothes: Housekeeping tips

Glue is an amazing tool that can help you create new items, and also it can be so strong that it helps you fix broken furniture and items.

The only thing that isn't so great about it is that it's hard to get rid of glue stains, especially if your glue is really strong.

Here are a few tips on how you can save your clothes from glue stains.

Let It Dry

If the glue is still wet, let it dry completely. Trying to remove wet glue can spread it and make the stain worse.

Gently Scrape

Once the glue is dry, gently scrape off as much as you can using a blunt knife or the edge of a credit card. Be careful not to damage the fabric.

Apply Dish Soap

Put a small amount of liquid dish soap on the stain. Gently rub it into the fabric with your fingers.

Soak in Warm Water

Fill a bowl or sink with warm water and soak the stained area for about 15-30 minutes. This helps loosen the glue.

Gently Rub

After soaking, rub the stained area between your fingers or use a soft brush to gently scrub the glue away.

Rinse

Rinse the stained area with cool water to remove the soap and any remaining glue.

Check

Check if the stain is gone. If it's still there, repeat the process until the glue is completely gone.

Wash Normally

Finally, wash the clothing item as you usually would, following the care label instructions.

Conclusion

Remember to be patient and gentle when removing the glue stains so that you don't damage your clothes.

If the stain persists after a few attempts, you might want to seek professional help or use a stain remover specifically designed for glue.
