Removing Fresh Glue Stains
If you're dealing with fresh glue stains on your macramé, you'll want to act quickly to remove them before they set in. The best way to do this is to use a damp cloth or sponge soaked in warm water. Gently rub spilled glue with the cloth and it should start to come off. If it is not coming off easily, you can try rubbing more firmly, but be sure not to damage the macramé.
Removing Dried Glue Stains
If glue has had time to dry on your macramé, it may not come off as easily as when it's fresh. In this case, you'll want to use an oil-based solvent such as mineral spirits or vinegar. Use a cloth or sponge to apply the solvent to the area and let it soak in for several minutes. Then, gently rub the glue with the cloth until it starts to lift off. You may need to repeat the process several times, depending on how stubborn the stain is.
Taking Extra Care
When using either of these methods to remove glue stains from macramé, be sure to take extra care not to damage the material. Macramé is delicate and any aggressive scrubbing or harsh cleaning chemicals could cause it to fray or lose its color. When in doubt, test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area of the macramé first before applying it to the stained area.
Cleaning Up Afterward
Once the glue stains have been removed, it's a good idea to give the entire piece of macramé a thorough cleaning with a damp cloth. This will help remove any residue from cleaning process and keep your macramé looking its best.
