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.
