Removing Glue Stains From Fabrics:
- Firstly, pick out any excess glue, gently scraping it off with a spoon or a toothbrush. Be careful not to damage or tear the fabric while doing so.
- If the glue stain is still visible, mix some detergent with warm water and gently rub it on the stained area. Use a soft brush or cloth to dab the solution onto the surface.
- Leave the solution to work its magic on the glue stain for approximately 15 minutes.
- Once fabric has absorbed the cleaning liquid, rinse it with cold water and dry it with a clean towel.
- If the glue stain is still present, use a mild vinegar solution and repeat the process mentioned above.
Using Commercial Cleaners:
- If the stain persists, you may need to use specialist commercial cleaners for fabrics.
- Read the instructions carefully before using a commercial cleaner, as using incorrect product or method could cause more damage to the dress.
- Start by lightly spraying the cleaner onto the glue stain and allowing it to absorb.
- Gently dab the stain with a soft, damp cloth and rinse the spot with cold water.
Tips & Tricks:
- It's best to deal with glue stains as soon as possible, as old glue spots can be harder to remove.
- Always test a small patch of the fabric first to check that the cleaning solution won't damage the dress or cause any discolouration.
- If you’re unsure of how to tackle the glue stain or are uncomfortable with attempting to remove it yourself, seek professional advice and services.
