First, prepare a clean, soft cloth, sponge, plastic scraper (to avoid scratching the carpet), and suitable cleaning supplies. Ensure your tools have no sharp edges to prevent damage to the carpet fibers. Also, clean any dust and debris around the glue stain beforehand to prevent impurities from getting mixed into the stain during cleaning, making it more difficult to remove.

Mix a neutral detergent and water in equal proportions. Dip a soft cloth in the solution and gently rub it over the glue stain, allowing the detergent to fully soak into the stain. After allowing it to sit for a while, rub it repeatedly with the cloth to soften the stain. Be careful not to use cleaners containing strong acids or bases, as they may corrode the carpet, especially on sensitive materials like wool.

Select a carpet-specific glue remover and spray it onto the remaining glue stain according to the instructions. Allow it to penetrate. Gently press and rub with a sponge or soft cloth. The glue remover will break down the sticky components of the glue stain, freeing it from the carpet surface. Avoid applying excessive force when cleaning, as this will push the glue deeper into the carpet and make it more difficult to remove.

Damp a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol or medicated oil and rub it onto the glue stain. Rub repeatedly. The ingredients in these remedies effectively dissolve glue stains and are mild to most carpet materials. For more stubborn glue stains, apply multiple applications and rub patiently to gradually remove any remaining residue. Avoid applying too much liquid at once, which could dampen the carpet.

After removing the glue stain, wipe away any remaining cleaning solution with a clean, damp cloth to ensure no residual chemicals remain. Pat dry with a dry cloth or allow the carpet to air dry, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading. After drying, inspect the treated area. If any residue remains, repeat the above steps until it is completely removed. Finally, comb the carpet fibers to restore it to its original shape.
