Hints from Heloise - Instant Glue (removal from countertop)

By Hklbrries

Dear Heloise: Can you please tell me how to remove instant glue from my countertops? -- Lana E., Klondike, Tex.

A big factor is the type of countertops. If they are marble, granite or a specialty type, you should contact the manufacturer for its recommendation. Do not use nail-polish remover on these surfaces.

-

If you have laminate countertops, here is a hint to try: Place a hot, wet cloth (like a washcloth) on the glue spots. Leave the cloth on a spot until it cools, then replace it with another hot, wet cloth. Repeat this process until the glue has softened and you can peel it off.

If this method doesn’t work, they do make special products for instant-glue removal. Just be careful when using, as they can dull the finish. Test an out-of-the-way spot before using. -- Heloise
