Rainy days are the ideal opportunity to get the craft supplies out and have some fun with the kids. You can make almost anything you want with some card, some paint, and a responsible adult in charge of the super glue. Unfortunately, we’re not always vigilant enough, and after a day of DIY projects or crafting, super glue stains can be a very common but unpleasant sight. Here’s everything you need to know to remove a stain if you find super glue on your clothing.
Dampen a paper towel with acetone nail polish remover. To ensure that the acetone won’t harm the fabric of the jeans, test a small patch of them in a hidden location.
Scrub the super glue spot with a toothbrush until the glue starts to flake off. As the glue comes off in layers, you might need to blot with acetone and scrub with a toothbrush several times.
Using the washing instructions on the labels, wash the jeans in the washing machine. Check the jeans carefully to ensure the stain is gone after the wash cycle is complete. Do not dry the jeans if the super glue stain is still present.
Super Glue is a great product that bonds things together. It can also be quite messy to use. When using the substance, it is common to get Super Glue on your jeans. If you take the right steps, you can remove Super Glue from jeans. Never use a dryer to dry the jeans before removing the Super Glue stain. This only serves to embed the stain and make removal more difficult.
If there is still a super glue stain on the jeans, dab a little lighter fluid on it. Use a toothbrush to scrub the spot. Wash the jeans again in the washing machine.

How to remove super glue from shoes
It’s similar to removing glue from other materials to remove super glue from shoes. First, try scraping it off. If that is insufficient, gently scrub the stain with a toothbrush dipped in warm, soapy water. You could also try acetone (see information box above), but test it first on a small, less noticeable area of the shoe in case it changes the color of the material. Once the glue has been removed, wash the shoe with warm water before using a fresh towel to dry the material.
