Step 1: Scrape Off Excess Glue

Using a butterknife or other blunt-edged tool, gently scrape excess glue off the fabric. This will help to loosen the dried glue and make it easier to remove. Be sure to be very gentle, as you don't want to damage fibers of the fabric.

Step 2: Apply White Vinegar Solution

Mix one part white vinegar with two parts warm water in a spray bottle. Shake it up to mix the solution, then spritz the stained area liberally. Allow vinegar solution to sit on the stain for about 15 minutes so it can break down the glue.

Step 3: Wash the Pullover

Using a non-bleach detergent, launder pullover using warm water. If the stain is still present, repeat steps 2 and 3 until it is gone. When you are finished, rinse in cool water and hang or lay flat to dry.

Step 4: Spot Test Fabric

Before attempting any of the above steps, it is always best to spot test a small area of the fabric to ensure that the method won't cause discoloration or damage the material. To do this, wet a cotton swab with the vinegar solution and rub it over an inconspicuous part of the fabric. Allow it to sit for 15 minutes, then inspect the spot for any signs of discoloration or damage.

Conclusion

Removing glue stains from your pullover doesn't have to be a nightmare. With the right tools and a little bit of patience, you can have your fabric looking like new in no time. Just remember to spot test the fabric before applying any additional treatments and you should have no problem getting rid of those pesky glue stains!
