How to Remove Glue Spots

Non-washable Fabrics

Follow these steps to remove glue spots from non-washable fabrics such as acetate, fiberglass, rayon, silk, triacetate and wool:

Immediately sponge (the method of using light strokes with a dampened pad working outward from the center of the stain) the area with water.
Then apply a wet spotter and a few drops of white vinegar.
Cover with an absorbent pad dampened with a wet spotter.
Let it stand as long as any stain is being picked up.
Change the pad as it removes the stain.
Keep both the stain and pad moist with a wet spotter and vinegar.
Flush (the method of applying stain remover to loosen staining materials and residue from stain removers) with water and repeat until you can't remove any longer.

For a lingering stain:

Use an enzyme presoak (follow directions on the label; caution, some enzyme presoaks are not designed for use on wool or silk).
Cover with a clean pad that you have dipped in the solution and wrung dry.
Let it stand 30 minutes.
Keep the area and pad moist and warm, but do not let the wet area spread.
When you can't remove the stain any longer, flush thoroughly with water and allow it to dry.
