Using Water and Detergent
The simplest way to remove glue stains from shorts is by soaking them in warm water and detergent. Begin by soaking the shorts in a sink filled with warm water and a small amount of laundry detergent for about 30 minutes. You can then carefully brush away the loosened glue.
Using Rubbing Alcohol
If the glue stain is more stubborn, you can try using rubbing alcohol on it. Begin by dabbing some rubbing alcohol onto a clean cloth and then gently rubbing it on stain. Make sure to use a damp cloth rather than a wet one. Once all of the glue has been removed, rinse area with cold water.
Using A Hair Dryer
You can also use a hair dryer to remove glue stains from shorts. Begin by turning the heat setting on the lowest setting and then moving dryer over the glue stain. Be sure to move the dryer continuously so that it does not burn the fabric. Once all of the glue has been removed, you can give the shorts a final rinse with cold water.
Using Nail Polish Remover
Finally, you can also try using nail polish remover on the glue stain. This method should be used as a last resort, as nail polish remover can be very harsh on fabrics. Before applying nail polish remover, it is important to test it on an inconspicuous area of the shorts first to make sure that it will not damage the fabric. Begin by dabbing some nail polish remover onto a clean cloth and then gently rubbing it on the stain. Once all of the glue has been removed, give the shorts a final rinse with cold water.
Conclusion
Removing glue stains from shorts can be tricky, but it is possible with the right methods. Whether you opt to use warm water and detergent, rubbing alcohol, a hair dryer, or nail polish remover, you should be able to easily remove these pesky stains.
