Methods for delicately removing glue from suede
To remove glue stains from a suede product, you will need:
– solvent for glue (anti-glue); – refined gasoline; – acetone; – ammonia; – cotton swabs or napkins; – a clean cotton cloth.
A specially designed solvent removes traces of glue from suede most effectively. When purchasing such a tool, carefully read the instructions for it to make sure that it is able to remove particles of exactly the glue to which the suede surface was exposed.
There is no one-size-fits-all solvent for any adhesive, so you have to adjust the composition to suit your situation. For example, you can find an anti-glue that can deal with Moment glue stains. Regardless of the nature of the traces of glue on the suede, try to use the solvent as early as possible, before the glue is very dry.
Old glue spots on delicate suede are much more difficult to remove.
If no solvent is available, try using purified gasoline or acetone to process the material. With the product of your choice, moisten a clean paper towel or cotton swab and wipe the surface of the product in the area of the stain with light circular motions. Be careful not to get a lot of liquid on the suede.
Cleaning suede from glue with ammonia
Among other means, ammonia is very effective for cleaning suede from old glue stains. It is recommended to keep the stained area over steam for a few minutes before using this product, especially if the stain is not too fresh. After steaming, gently wipe the stain with a cotton swab dipped in ammonia.
Let the garment dry a little and, if necessary, repeat the treatment using a clean swab or soft cloth.
After the cleaning procedure, treat the pile on the garment with a hard eraser or a special rubber brush for suede garments. It is advisable to hold the product completely free of glue over steam so that the pile improves its appearance.
Try to regularly care for suede items to avoid serious contamination. For the care of such products, special formulations, shampoos and cleaners are used. The prophylactic treatment is completed by applying a water-repellent spray to the suede surface, which will provide the product with an updated look for a long time.
