In extreme cases, alkaline substances are used for this, however, it is better to use more gentle methods in order to remove the glue from the clothes. At the same time, in order to avoid damage to the product, it is recommended to adhere to the following tips:
- In no case should you hesitate if the glue-moment has got on the clothes - old stains are even more difficult to remove. Fresh dirt should be blotted off with a napkin or rag as soon as possible to remove excess glue.
- If Moment glue gets on your clothing, you must immediately spread it on a flat horizontal surface so that it does not spread further.
- Before proceeding directly to the process of removing the glue, any tool, even if it is one of the gentle ones, should be checked on a small area of fabric. To do this, clothes are turned inside out, a solvent is applied to an inconspicuous area (turning jeans, for example), or a special sample is used with which most products are sold.

The glue is removed with the help of fat as follows: butter or margarine is applied to the stain and left for 30-40 minutes. Softened glue Moment is washed off with dishwashing detergent. Things made from delicate fabrics are lubricated with glycerin or petroleum jelly.

- Acetone... This substance is ideal for removing instant glue or superglue from rough fabrics, especially jeans. If acetone is not there, you can take any other product based on it. For example, nail polish remover. A small amount of the substance is applied to a cotton pad and the dirt is wiped with it. Then the thing is washed or soaked in a solution of laundry soap.
- Soap... Wallpaper glue Moment is taken out with the help of laundry soap. To do this, put large shavings of soap on the stain and leave the thing for 1-2 hours. Then the product is washed 1-2 times with powder or, again, laundry soap.
- Nail file... This method is suitable for suede products. With a file, gently clean off the dirt in a circular motion.
Separately, it should be noted that leather items that have gotten glue drops cannot be washed. In this case, the contaminated area is treated with a nail polish remover that does not contain acetone. The product is applied to a cotton pad and gently rubbed over the stain.
