How to Remove Super Glue From a Kitchen Counter

Super Glue creates a very strong bond that makes it useful for a wide variety of home applications. Its strength and durability is a disadvantage, however, when you're trying to remove it after accidentally applying it to your kitchen counter. You can use a common household product to remove the Super Glue. Test the cleaning method on a small area of the kitchen counter to make sure it won't damage the counter's color or texture.

Things You'll Need

• Acetone
• Cloth
• Piece of plastic, such as a credit card
• Towel

Instructions

1. Apply a small amount of acetone to a clean cloth.

2. Dab the cloth onto the Super Glue stain. Try not to get acetone directly on the kitchen counter.

3. Reapply acetone to the cloth as needed. Continue dabbing the stain with the cloth to gradually soften the Super Glue stain.

4. Use a piece of plastic, such as a credit card, to lightly scrape up the softened glue.

5. Wipe the area with a clean cloth soaked in water. Dry with a towel.
