To find the right way out of this situation and not to damage things during the cleaning process, you need to know certain ways to remove this glue from various fabrics. In the presented article will be described in detail all the nuances and methods of removing traces of adhesive "Moment" from the clothes.
Features of the composition
It will be useful to get acquainted with the properties of super-strong Moment glue before removing it from clothes.
The main feature of such a composition is a fast setting with various materials, including fabrics. The substance is enough seconds to securely fix the fibers, so sometimes the spot can not be removed, even if it is noticed almost immediately.
The adhesive itself is high strength. This strength can be fraught with the formation of a hole on a soiled thing. When the glue dries, the fiber structure changes, becoming more rigid. Subsequently, the substance may begin to crumble, while due to the heavy-duty connection, it will crumble along with a soiled tissue area.
It also, unlike other types of pollution, is resistant to various manipulations with the help of water of various temperatures. Therefore, it is absolutely useless to wash the stain with water.
We use the means at hand
The first thing to try to remove stains at home, - a number of improvised household tools.
- Thing you need for half an hour to place in the freezer. After this time, it will be possible to clean the fabric mechanically, without damaging its fibers. After that, simply wash the clothes. After several cleanings in the washing machine, all traces of the stain will disappear completely.

The stain should be covered with this solution and leave for about 7 minutes. After that, the glue is removed mechanically using the hard side of the sponge. This method also involves the subsequent washing of things.
- In some cases, a body scrub comes to the rescue. Thanks to the solid particles in its composition, it helps to rid the thing of contamination also with a sponge. Instead of scrub, you can use the well-known vaseline.
- Acetic essence, diluted with water in proportions of 1 to 2, will also help wash the glue from the clothes. Soak a clean cloth in this solution and then put it on the stain. After a while, the dried spot will dissolve and can be removed with a standard cloth.
- It is also possible to influence superglue with very hot temperatures, for example, to change its state of aggregation with the help of an iron and then remove residues from the fabric.

- If the stain of "Moment" fell on artificial leather, then often use such a means of mechanical cleaning, as a nail file. Making a circular motion on the dried fluid, the thing gently relieve stains.
- For white things, the universal recipe is whiteness. Since this mixture contains chlorine, it effectively cope with pollution. It should be applied to the stained place and rubbed with another cloth.
- Natural fabrics, such as silk and wool, can be cleaned using gasoline. A small piece of soft cloth will need to be soaked with gasoline, put on the dirt for about a quarter of an hour so that the stain is well soaked, and wash the thing with laundry soap or laundry detergent.

If the fabric is indelicate, it can be rubbed using a stiff brush. After that, as in all other cases, you need to rinse things in clean water several times.
Useful recommendations

- It is not recommended to use cotton when rubbing into the fabric of various compositions. Vata often remains on the fabric, falling into the structure of the glue and clinging to it.
- If the thing is quite expensive and you do not have the opportunity to test the reaction of fabric fibers to special and available tools, it is better to use the services of dry cleaning, as the risk of clothing damage decreases.
- Remember that chemical compounds can not be kept on clothes for a long time. Otherwise, instead of a positive effect, you can get holes in the fabric and ruin the thing forever.
