The items you need for the cleaning process are ordinary, inexpensive products that you probably already have right in your own kitchen.

Things You Will Need

  • Butter knife
  • White vinegar
  • White cloths
  • Dish soap
  1. Wait for the glue to dry if it is still wet.

  2. Scrape off as much glue as possible using a blunt butter knife.

  3. Wet a white cloth with white vinegar, and add a few drops of liquid dish soap to the cloth. Squeeze out the excess moisture.

  4. Dab the moist, soapy cloth onto the glue stain.

  5. Blot the area dry with a clean, dry cloth.

  6. Repeat dabbing the stain and blotting it until all the glue residue is gone.
