Step One: Identify the Type of Glue
Before you start, you should correctly identify the type of glue that caused the stain. Different types of glue will require different cleaning methods. If the glue stain is still wet, blot the area with a clean rag or paper towel to absorb the excess glue without spreading it.
Step Two: Pre-treat the Stain with Detergent or Rubbing Alcohol
Once you have identified the type of glue, pre-treat the stain by rubbing it with a solution of detergent and warm water, or rubbing alcohol and warm water. Let the solution sit on area for a few minutes before gently rubbing the fabric in a circular motion.
Step Three: Wash in the Washing Machine
After pre-treating the area, you can wash the item of clothing in the washing machine. Use a regular washing cycle with cool water. Hot water may set the stain, making it more difficult to remove. Once cycle is finished, air-dry the item.
Step Four: Spot-treat any Remaining Stains
If there are any stains that remain after washing, you can spot treat the area with a mixture of vinegar and warm water. Apply mixture to the spot and let it sit for a few minutes before washing again.
Conclusion
With these four simple steps, you can easily and effectively clean glue stains from your tracksuit. Remember to identify the type of glue before pre-treating the area, wash with cold water, and spot treat any stubborn stains.
