Doing your own DIY is great, but when it goes wrong you can end up with a mess on your hands – and all over your clothes. If you’ve been gluing a spot of DIY and you realize you’ve got rubber cement all over your clothes. There is no need to worry, instead check out Ariel’s tips on how to remove rubber cement stains.

Removing rubber cement stains

    • Remove excess

      Scrape off as much of the glue as possible, being careful not to spread the adhesive stain further. If the glue has dried, but has hardened before treating the stain, you can soak the clothing in warm water for approximately 30 minutes to soften the glue so it can be scraped off.
    Remove excess
    • Pre-treat

      Dab nail varnish remover onto the adhesive stain, unless the fabric is synthetic, like nylon or polyester.

    • Load

      Place the garment into the washing machine with other items. Leaving the detergent on the stain will boost your wash performance.
    Load
    • Dose

      The cap is also a dosing device. Just fill it with the correct dose of detergent and place it directly into your washing machine drum, on top of your dirty laundry.
    Dose
    • Wash

      Wash on the usual cycle, on the hottest wash temperature indicated. Always check the instructions on the garment’s care label.

    • Unload

      When the cycle is complete, unload the garments immediately.
