If you want to learn how to clean glue from a bandana, the first step is to determine type of glue used. Most glues are water-soluble, although some may require more specialized cleaning techniques.
Removing Water-Soluble Glue with Dish Soap
If you are dealing with water-soluble glue, the easiest way to remove it is with a mixture of dish soap and warm water. Start by submerging the bandana in the soapy water, and then add a squirt of dish soap. Allow the bandana to soak for 10-15 minutes, then agitate it gently with your hands. Rinse bandana thoroughly, and repeat if necessary.
Removing Non-Water Soluble Glue with a Solvent
For non-water soluble glue, your best option is to use a solvent. Start by laying the bandana flat on a hard surface and apply a small amount of solvent to the affected area. Rub the solvent gently with a clean cloth until glue has dissolved. Once the glue is gone, rinse the bandana with cold water and let it air dry.
Removing Glue Stains with Baking Soda and Vinegar
If you don’t have any solvents available, you can also remove glue stains from bandanas with baking soda and vinegar. Start by making a paste with one part baking soda and two parts vinegar. Spread the paste onto the affected area of the bandana and let it sit for 15 minutes. Then, rinse the bandana with cold water and let it air dry.
