How to Remove White School Glue

School glue is fun, child-safe, and an essential piece of every child’s learning experiences. And as with most things children get their hands on, it often winds up on their clothing. Luckily for you, most school glues are water-based and can be removed easily without damaging fabrics. Consult your glue container for its base, then follow these steps on how to get glue off fabric.

Using a dull knife or stiff edge, scrape off as much excess school glue as possible. Be careful not to spread the stain. If the glue has already hardened, soak the clothing in warm water for 30 minutes to soften before scraping.

Pretreat the stain with Tide Rescue Laundry Stain Remover. You can spray directly onto the stain and let it soak for 20 minutes.

Launder your fabric in the hottest water its treatment label will allow. If the garment allows, you can also use a chlorine bleach or Tide Plus Bleach Alternative Detergent to boost the cleaning power.

Remove the garment after the cycle completes. If the stain persists, repeat steps 2 and 3 until it is gone. Drying the garment before the stain is removed could cause it to set.
