Before attempting to clean the stain, try to gently scrape away as much of the excess glue as possible with a knife or spoon. This will reduce some of the challenge when it comes time to cleaning the stain.
Dab a bit of laundry detergent onto stain and lightly rub it in using your fingers or a soft-bristled brush. Allow detergent to sit on stain for a few minutes before proceeding to the next step.
Once you’ve pretreated the stain with detergent, soak the stained area in warm soapy water for about 15-20 minutes. This will help to further loosen the glue from the fabric.
Create a paste of equal parts white vinegar and baking soda and then rub it into stain with your fingers or a soft-bristled brush. The combination of the vinegar and baking soda will create a chemical reaction that helps loosen the glue from fabric.
Rinse the area with warm water to remove any residue left from the vinegar and baking soda. This will also help to further loosen the glue and make cleaning easier.
Finally, launder the fabric as usual with your preferred type of laundry detergent. This will help to ensure that all of glue has been removed from the fabric.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
