Instant Glue - How to remove from clothes and hands

By Hklbrries

Dear Heloise: I was working with instant glue and got some on my clothes and hands. I eventually was able to peel the glue off my hands. But it seems impossible to remove the stains from my clothing. I would appreciate any help that you could give me. -- Theresa N. from Alabama

Let’s see what we can do to help you out of this sticky situation! As long as the material is washable, you can try the following steps. According to some major manufacturers of instant glue, the best way to remove it is with a little acetone, like you find in plain nail-polish remover.

For clothing, try using an old terry towel or toothbrush to gently scrub the area after applying the acetone. It probably will take several attempts to remove the glue layer by layer. It may not completely remove the stain, but it’s worth a try. Acetone may discolor fabrics, so be sure to check for colorfastness first. -- Heloise
