How to Remove Glue from Plastic
Removing glue from plastic is a case of finding a product with the power to break down the glue’s bond, while also being mild enough to ensure that the colour of the plastic isn’t bleached out or the surface damaged.
Before you start, test any product you plan to use on an inconspicuous spot – it’s worth checking that both the glue and the surface you’re cleaning will respond well to your treatment.
- How to remove glue from plastic gently: To start with, try using something mild, like a moisturiser or vegetable oil. Soak a cloth and dab it generously on the glue patch, allowing the moisturiser or oil to soak in, and then wipe the surface firmly with a clean paper towel or cloth.
- How to remove glue from plastic if you need a quick fix: Make-up wipes may be sufficient to break down weaker solvents and remove glue residue at the same time. Just swab the glue mark gently in a circular motion.
- Removing stubborn glue from plastics: Soak the glue with vinegar and rinse clean, or if the glue is hard rather than tacky, use a thin scraper – such as a blunt knife, spatula, or old debit card – to lift the glue from beneath without scratching the surface.
