Super glue is amazing – but spill it on leather and suddenly things don’t look so hot. But with Loctite’s guide on how to get glue off leather it is easier to clean than you think.
Super glue is a saviour in many ways. Its quick-bonding quality means that we can fix and save snapped and broken items that would otherwise land in the bin. But it’s precisely that fast-drying characteristic that makes it seem problematic when spilled on, say, a pair of leather trainers or a suede couch.
Fear not though, with just a few household items and the following simple instructions, you can learn how to get super glue off leather shoes and how to get super glue off a leather couch.
Test the following procedure on an invisible (or less visible) area of the leather and wait a few hours before proceeding to the glue stain.
Need a super glue that’s great for leather? Check out Loctite’s Super Glue Power Gel Control! Its high strength, non-drip formula forms an invisible and long-lasting bond that is weather and shock resistant. Even better, it features an easy grip squeeze bottle and nozzle for precise application on intricate, hard-to-reach spots.
If the application with soapy water does not work, you can try to get glue off leather with alcohol. This method is suitable for more stubborn stains but also carries some risk because it can damage the leather. So, proceed very carefully!
