Chances of complete removal are increased if the PVC glue spill is addressed right away.
Things You Will Need
-
Wipe up the excess or spilled PVC glue with paper towels. Discard the soaked towels carefully since the glue is flammable.
-
Apply a thin layer of mineral or baby oil to the PVC glue mess. Rub the oil into the surface in a circular motion to lift and neutralize the cement. Oil your hands thoroughly, then wash them with soap if they get any PVC glue on them.
-
Soak a sponge in warm, soapy water. Wring out the majority of the liquid, then wipe down the oil-covered surface with the soapy sponge.
-
Rinse the sponge under clean, running water. Wipe down the cleaned area to remove any soap residue. Dry the cleaned area with a paper towel.
