Step 1: Gather Your Materials
Before you start, make sure you have all the necessary materials. You’ll need a vacuum cleaner, a solvent-based cleaner (such as Goo Gone or Citristrip), a soft cloth, a tiny amount of detergent, and some white vinegar.
Step 2: Vacuum Stain
Start by vacuuming the stained area of your gown. This will help remove any excess particles of glue that may have gotten stuck onto the fabric.
Step 3: Apply Solvent-Based Cleaner
Now it's time to apply the solvent-based cleaner to the stained area. Make sure you read the instructions on the bottle before use and take all necessary safety precautions. When applying cleaner, use a soft cloth and dab gently. Do not rub harshly, as this could damage fabric.
Step 4: Blot with Detergent and Water
Once you have finished applying the solvent-based cleaner, use a different cloth to blot the area with a mixture of detergent and lukewarm water. Blot until the stain has been removed.
Step 5: Rinse with White Vinegar
Finally, rinse the area with white vinegar to ensure that all traces of the solvent-based cleaner and detergent are gone. Then, let the area air dry completely.
