Materials
Before tackling any glue stain, make sure you have these items:
- Liquid laundry detergent
- Scouring powder
- Grease-fighting dish soap
- Stiff brush
Step 1: Scrape Off Excess Glue
To begin, carefully scrape away any excess glue with your finger or a butter knife. Be careful not to spread the glue around as you scrape.
Step 2: Soak the Fabric
Next, create a soapy solution using the liquid laundry detergent. Submerge the fabric in the soapy mixture and let it soak for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Apply the Scouring Powder
Once the fabric has soaked, sprinkle a generous amount of scouring powder onto the affected area. Rub the powder into the fabric using a stiff brush in circular motions. This will help break down the glue and lift the stain.
Step 4: Rinse
After vigorously brushing the fabric, rinse the area with warm water to remove any soap residue and scouring powder.
Step 5: Apply Dish Soap
Create a sudsy mixture with the grease-fighting dish soap. Rub the mixture onto any remaining glue stains and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then, launder the fabric in the washing machine as normal.
