Things You'll Need:
- Rag Water Tape Paper towel Iron Extra T-shirt Goo Gone Freezer Lighter fluid
-
Step 1
Wet the shirt with some water if the glue is still fresh. Use a rag to lift the glue up and off of the shirt. You should be able to get almost all of it this way. Then rinse out your rag and wet it again. Rub the area until the rest of the glue comes off of the cotton shirt.
-
Step 2
Cut some tape and lay it over the dried Gorilla Glue spot. Pull the tape up quickly, and it will take some of the glue with it. This trick will work, but you will have to repeat the step many times. Each time a little more of the glue will come up.
-
Step 3
Lay a paper towel over the dried Gorilla Glue spot. Place a spare T-shirt on top of the paper towel. Turn your iron on and iron over this spot for about 5 minutes. Lift up the extra shirt and then the paper towel and the glue should be on the paper towel instead of the shirt.
-
Step 4
Pour some Goo Gone (see Resources) on an old rag. Work over the Gorilla Glue spot. Goo Gone will dissolve any type of glue, gum or sticky adhesive.
-
Step 5
Place the shirt in the freezer for an hour or two. The glue will harden up and can then be scraped or picked off with a kitchen knife. This also works on gum that gets stuck to the bottom of your shoe.

Step 6
Pour some lighter fluid over the glue spot. Let it sit and then rub it off with a dry rag. Immediately wash the cotton shirt with laundry detergent.
