Start by lifting the excess glue off the surface of the merino. Use a plastic knife or butter knife to carefully scrape it away without damaging the fabric. Do not rub aggressively as this may spread the glue further.
If the glue stain remains, it’s time to break out the cleaners. Be sure to test on an inconspicuous area of the fabric first to make sure you don’t discolor or damage the material. Lighter fabrics may require more gentle cleaning agents such as detergent or white vinegar and water.
For tougher glue stains, use a stronger cleaner like rubbing alcohol or an acetone-based nail polish remover. Dip a cloth in the solution and gently dab at the stain. Rinse with cold water afterwards.
If the glue is still present after trying these solutions, you may need to take your merino to a dry cleaner. The dry cleaner will be able to treat the glue stain using specialized cleaning solutions. With any luck, you will have successfully removed glue.
Hopefully, this guide has given you the tools to tackle glue stains on merino. With careful attention and the right cleaning solutions, you can restore your merino to its former glory!
