Removing Glue
The first step to freeing your Angora fabric of glue is to remove any excess glue as quickly as possible. Use a butter knife or spoon to carefully scrape off what you’re able to without damaging the fabric. Avoid using anything sharp. Once you’ve removed as much glue as you can, it’s time to move on to next step.
Using Hot Water
To further loosen the glue stain, use hot water on a clean cloth or sponge. Gently press the hot water onto stain and then let it sit for a few minutes. After this, use a small amount of soap or laundry detergent directly onto glue stain. Scrub the spot lightly with your cloth or sponge, being sure not to rub too hard. Rinse with cool water and check to see if any glue remains. Repeat this process until the glue has been sufficiently removed.
Using Soap and Alcohol
If glue is still not budging, use an equal mix of liquid soap and rubbing alcohol to affected area. Gently massage the mix into the glue stain with your fingers until it starts to dissolve. Let it sit for five minutes and then rinse with cool water. If the glue is still there, repeat the process until it’s gone.
Using Hair Spray
Using hair spray can also help. First, spray the glue stain with hair spray and wait several seconds. Then, gently scrub the area with a soft-bristled brush and rinse with cold water. Finally, wash and dry fabric as normal.
Takeaway
Removing glue stains from Angora fabric can be tricky, but thankfully there are a few easy techniques that can help. From using hot water and soap to employing hair spray, these steps are quick and effective in restoring your beloved Angora clothing.
