Removing Glue Stains from Refrigerators
A stainless steel refrigerator can easily become unsightly if glue is spilt onto it. To remove the adhesive, fill a bucket with warm water and add a few drops of dish soap. Grab an old cloth and soak it in the mixture before dabbing the glue stain. It’s important to ensure the cloth is just damp rather than dripping wet, as too much water could damage the surface of your refrigerator. Move the cloth in a circular motion to dissolve glue before wiping it away with a clean cloth.
Erasing Glue from Countertops
To tackle glue stains on countertops, start by creating a paste using baking soda and water. Using an old cloth, apply the paste to affected area and leave it for a few minutes before wiping it away with a damp cloth. This method is more effective on surfaces such as granite or quartz. For laminate worktops, use baby oil instead of baking soda. Simply apply it to glue and let it sit for a few minutes before wiping away with a clean cloth.
Cleaning Glue from Toasters or Microwaves
If your toaster or microwave has endured a glue spill, the best way to remove it is to fill a bowl with hot, soapy water and place it inside the appliance. Turn on the heat or microwave for a few minutes — this will allow the steam to loosen the adhesive. After a few minutes, open up appliance and wipe down the interior with a cloth. Make sure to get into all the crevices to remove any residual glue.
