How To Remove Glue From Your Carpet: Step-by-Step

Things you will need

  • 1001 Carpet Care Shampoo

  • A clean, white cloth or sponge

  • Warm water

  • A blunt knife or spoon

  • A vacuum cleaner

  1. Step 1: Remove Excess Glue

    Using a blunt knife or spoon, gently scrape off as much of the excess glue as possible. Be careful not to damage the carpet fibres during this process.

    *Please note certain glues cannot be removed by water-based Stain Removers, please check with your glue manufacturer for advice before using our product.

  2. Step 2: Prepare the Cleaning Solution

    Combine 1 part 1001 Carpet Care Shampoo with 6 parts water.

    This ratio ensures an effective clean without damaging your carpet fibres.

    Use a clean container to mix the solution. Ensure the container is large enough to hold the diluted mixture and allows for easy stirring.

  3. Step 3: Apply the Solution With a Clean Cloth

    Dampen a clean, white cloth or sponge with the diluted shampoo solution.

    Blot the glue stain gently, starting from the outside and working your way inward.

    Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the glue and embed it further into the carpet fibres.

  4. Step 4: Blot the Stain

    Continue blotting the stain with the damp cloth until the glue begins to lift. You may need to reapply the shampoo solution and repeat this step several times for stubborn stains.

    After that, allow the carpet to air dry completely. You can speed up the drying process by using a fan or opening windows to increase ventilation.
