How to Remove Glue From Cloth

    Washable Fabrics

    • 1). Dip a Q-tip in nail polish remover that is acetone based. Gently pat the glue spot with the Q-tip, adding more nail polish remover as necessary. Let this sit for a couple of minutes.

    • 2). Brush the spot with an old toothbrush. Using short, brisk strokes, brush the spot until the glue starts to flake. Repeat steps one and two until you've removed as much glue as possible.

    • 3). Pour a few drops of laundry detergent directly onto the spot. Rub it in gently. Allow it to sit for a few minutes.

    • 4). Wash the cloth according to the directions on the fabric tag. When the washing cycle is complete remove the cloth to check for any remaining glue. Do not put it in the dryer if glue remains.

    • 5). When all else fails, use lighter fluid. In a properly ventilated area dab just a couple of drops of lighter fluid onto the cloth with a Q-tip. Brush with the toothbrush, then repeat step 4.

    Non-washable Cloth

    • 1). Using a sponge and quick, light strokes, dampen the area containing the glue stain. Work from the center to the outer edge of the stain.

    • 2). Apply a few drops of Dry'n Wet Spotter. Follow with a couple drops of vinegar. Allow the cloth to fully absorb the Dry'n Wet Spotter and vinegar.

    • 3). Dampen an absorbent cloth with the Dry'n Wet Spotter and apply it to the glue spot. Keep it in place as long as it is pulling the stain from the cloth. Change the absorbent pad as it soaks up the stain, replacing it with another pad dampened with the mixture of Dry'n Wet and vinegar.

    • 4). Gently rinse with small amounts of water. This will remove any residual of the stain remover and vinegar. Allow it to air dry.
