How can I remove glue from my windows?

Scrape off any excess glue with a plastic spoon or knife. Apply a cleaning solution of warm water and white vinegar with a sponge. Finally, buff away any remaining glue with a clean cloth.

Are there any additional tips I should be aware of?

Baking soda can be sprinkled onto the glue to help absorb any residue for easier removal. Be careful not to use too much pressure when wiping off the glue, as this can scratch the window’s surface. Always test any cleaning solutions on a small area first, to ensure there is no discoloration or damage.

Step 1: Scrape off the Excess Glue

Once any excess glue has been scraped off with a plastic spoon or knife, the remaining stain should be dampened with warm water.

Step 2: Apply an Appropriate Cleaning Solution

A cleaning solution of warm water and white vinegar applied with a sponge will help to break down the glue and make it easier to remove. Alternatively, alcohol-based cleaners can also be used.

Step 3: Wipe off the Glue

Using a clean cloth, buff away any remaining glue until it has been completely removed.
