Need to know how to remove super glue from tiles? Whether you’re dealing with porcelain or ceramic, we’ve got the solutions.
First, a general rule for any kind of glue removal – clean up while it’s still wet. Wet glue is much easier to remove than dried glue. So if you accidentally spill super glue on your tiles, act straight away, and clean up with some damp kitchen roll.
Here’s how to remove super glue from porcelain tiles if the glue has already dried, using a solvent like acetone. You should keep the area well-ventilated and wear gloves, or wash your hands thoroughly afterwards.
For large or particularly stubborn glue stains, you may need to repeat this process a couple of times. Once the glue has been softened by the acetone, you can also try gently scraping it off with a blade or scraping tool. Work slowly and carefully to avoid damaging the tile.
Next time, avoid glue spillages in the first place! You won’t make a mess if you’re using a precise applicator. Try Loctite Super Glue Liquid Control or Loctite Super Glue Liquid Precision for quick fixes around the house.
Ceramic is more porous than porcelain and absorbs more water. Removing glue from porous surfaces may require a few extra steps.
Here’s how to remove super glue from ceramic tile. Remember to work in a well-ventilated area and to wear gloves.
If the glue stain persists, you can try scraping off some of the softened glue with a blade or scraping tool. Be careful not to scratch or damage the surface.
