There are a huge number of types of glue, each has a unique composition. Depending on it, the methods of removing stains will vary. In everyday life, we most often use:
PVA glue,
glue-pencil,
wallpaper glue,
silicate glue (liquid glass),
rubber glue,
superglue.
The first three types — with rare exceptions — are water-soluble, there should be no problems with their removal. We will consider the rest in more detail.
How to wipe off the silicate glue

Silicate glue, or liquid glass, is an aqueous alkaline solution of sodium, potassium or lithium silicates. It dissolves in water, so if this prankster is guilty of your soiled clothes, prepare basins.
If the glue has just been spilled, rinse the places of contamination with warm water: fresh stains will be removed without difficulty.
If the glue has dried on the skin, the recipe is the same. And you can add a little soap.
If the glue has dried on clothes, dissolve 3-4 tablespoons of soda in a liter of water. Soak things in this solution for a few hours. Then remove the residue with a brush or scraper.
If the liquid glass has dried on the glass, there is little chance. Due to the similarity of materials, diffusion begins. The only thing that can be done is to soak the stain in water for several hours, and then scrape it off with a blade. Alas, the traces will remain in any case.
How to wipe off the rubber glue
Rubber glue, and in particular the popular "Moment Classic", is made on the basis of rubbers and hardens due to evaporation from the solvent composition. Prolonged soaking in water, exposure to acetone, gasoline or kerosene will help remove the glue. If the stain is fresh, rinse it as quickly as possible before it begins to harden.
How to remove rubber glue from skin
Try to wash the dried glue from your hands with plenty of warm soapy water.
If this does not help, use moisturizers: vegetable oil, greasy cream or vaseline. Rub any of these substances into the skin until the glue begins to roll off.
If this did not help, we turn to heavy artillery. Apply acetone (nail polish remover) to a cotton swab and apply it to the stain for a few minutes until the glue softens. Be careful, use this method only on small areas of the skin.
Advice for the future: do not unscrew the tube lid with your teeth if you do not want your lips to stick together.
How to remove rubber glue from clothes
Soak things for several hours in water with household soap (a tablespoon of grated soap per liter of water). If the glue is not embedded in the fibers of the fabric, this method will be enough for complete cleaning.
Try removing particularly persistent dirt with acetone or gasoline. Apply a small amount of liquid to a cotton swab and treat the stains. After that, wash the item as usual. Acetone and gasoline can discolor or damage the fabric. Before using, check their effect on a small area.
If you need to wipe the glue off silk or wool, you will need a more gentle cleaning method. Add citric acid (20 grams) or a tablespoon of 70 percent acetic essence to the water (100 ml). Apply the solution to the stains, and then wash in the washing machine, choosing a delicate mode.
Is there nothing suitable at hand? You can try the method of critical temperatures: heat the fabric with a hair dryer, and then put it in the freezer. The structure of the glue will collapse, it will become brittle, and it can be scraped off with a knife.
How to wipe off superglue
Superglue is a synthetic adhesive based on cyanoacrylate. It hardens upon contact with water and does not dissolve in ethanol, so baths and alcohol compresses are powerless here. To remove superglue, dimethyl sulfoxide is useful (do not worry, it can be found in any pharmacy under the trade name "Dimexide") and acetone.

If the stain is fresh, do not rinse it with water, look for nail polish remover faster. Acetone perfectly dissolves superglue in liquid form. With the frozen, everything is more complicated.
How to remove superglue from skin
Leather is a more malleable material than frozen glue. Soften it with cream or oil: this will reduce the adhesion of the stain to the epithelium.
Make a scrub: mix a spoonful of fine salt, sugar or ground coffee with a small amount of liquid soap and gently rub the soiled places.
As a last resort: cut off the glue layer with a nail file. This method is suitable only for dense skin on the fingers.
If the glue stain on the skin does not cause inconvenience, just forget about it for 2-3 days. The sebaceous glands themselves will push it off the surface.
How to remove superglue from clothes
Apply a little acetone or "Dimexide" to the dirt with a cotton swab. Leave it on for 20-40 minutes, and then wash the thing as usual. First check the reaction of the tissue to these substances in a small inconspicuous area.
The critical temperature method will also help. Preheat the fabric with a hairdryer, and then put it in the freezer for a couple of hours. Superglue, when solidified, turns into a kind of plastic, becomes brittle, so that it can be scraped off.
How to remove superglue from plastic
It is better not to take risks with acetone (it can discolor things), and scrubs and files will damage the surface. Therefore, moisten a cotton swab with "Dimexide" and wipe off the glue until the stain disappears. Do not be lazy to go to the pharmacy for the remedy: after it can be used for cosmetic masks or lotions for athletes.
