Glue solidifying on clothing is indeed a tricky problem, but here are a few things you can try to get rid of:
Alcohol: Use high-purity alcohol to soak glue stains on clothing for about half an hour or more. Then scrub repeatedly until the glue stain is completely removed. This method mainly uses the solubility of alcohol to gradually dissolve the glue. If you use industrial or medical alcohol, always make sure they are of high purity, otherwise they may not work as well.
Rosin perfume: Also known as banana water, pine perfume is an organic solvent that dissolves glue. To use, apply the rosin to the glue stain and brush it off repeatedly with a brush. Please note that acetic acid fabrics cannot be used in this way, as the chemical properties of rosin perfume may damage these fabrics.
Acetone: Acetone is likewise an organic solvent that can effectively remove glue stains. First, flip the garment to the back and put an absorbent material such as toilet paper under the glue stain. Acetone is then dropped around the stain and gradually dissolved from the outside in. This process requires some patience as dissolution is slower. It is important to note that acetate fabrics cannot use this method either.
Freezing: Place clothes in the refrigerator to freeze. The premise of this method is that the material of the garment can withstand freezing. The purpose of freezing is to make the glue more fragile at low temperatures, making it easier to remove. This is a rumor that is said to work, but it has not been tested personally.
Insulating oil: This is the most effective method, but it is difficult to find. It softens the glue quickly. Its disadvantage is that it is difficult to find insulating oil, so it is not commonly used.
These are a few common ways to remove glue from clothes. It is important to note that different fabrics and glues require different methods. Before using any method, test it in a small, inconspicuous area to make sure it doesn't cause more damage to the clothing. In addition, it is possible to prevent glue from spilling on the garment, which will reduce the hassle of cleaning.
In addition to the above methods, there are several things you can try to prevent glue from spilling on your clothes:
When applying glue, try to stay away from the garment and avoid splashing the glue on the garment.
If possible, wear gloves or finger covers when using glue to avoid direct contact with clothing.
Wipe the surface of the garment with a damp cloth immediately after applying the glue to prevent the glue from drying on the garment.
If you notice glue stains on your clothing, treat them immediately, rather than waiting for the stains to harden, as this will be more difficult.
In conclusion, dealing with glue stains requires patience and care. Try different methods to find the best treatment for your clothes and glue. Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge
