Removing PVA Glue from scholl cardi

narabanekeater

My daughters new school cardi is covered in PVA glue
They have to be cool washed as the colour fades very quickly
Will this simply wash out or does anyone please have any ideas to remove it?

I think that PVA glue is water soluble try scraping off as much as you can, then put it in a 50 degree wash add some soda crystals to the washing powder.
I know that paint can be removed by rubbing with washing up liquid and sugar you could try that first and see if it helps.
School jumpers are so overpriced it is heartbreaking when this happens.

hope you have not done the 50 degree wash yet !

I work in a school and always get this on me in art sessions.The best way is to scrape off the worst then do a cold rinse before washing on the lowest temperature.HTH

We have a pva glue dilemma on both my daughters school jumpers out of six they have one jumper that hasnt got glue on it. Its on sleeves so its like they brushed past something with glue on.:mad:
Any tips on how to get it out?
Thank you

No effective way really. If you can get to it while it's still wet water will do it. Too late for that though.

Can you test a wee bit with acetone free nail varnish remover. Just put a small amount on a clean cloth and dab off.

I have a similar problem with black marker pens that doesnt come out of school shirts!

I was told carbon tetrachloride - which is dry cleaning fluid from the Chemist and removes most things?

I haven't tried it yet, so cannot confirm it works - but you may ask in yr chemist if it would work on yr glue?

PVA will reabsorb water and return to it's original state so it just needed soaking and rubbing, but you found that out anyway.

if it happens again

plunge it into cold water
as cold as your hands can stand
ice in it if you can

PVA dissolves in cold water

thats why fishermen have little bags made out of it
they have the bags filled with groundbait
on the end of their rod
it deposits the bait where their hook is to entice the fish
the bag melts in the water, leaving only the bait:)
