Knowing how to remove super glue from countertops is important, because using the wrong cleaning product to clean up the mess can ruin your countertops. Kitchen and bathroom countertops, for example, are expensive to replace. Yet any adhesive can safely be removed without causing damage to the surface if you follow our quick and easy steps.
Super glue is a solvent-based adhesive and the spill is either still wet or already hardened. Wet super glue can be cleaned up using acetone (nail polish remover). If the glue has already set, then you need to hold ice on the spill for five minutes until the glue becomes brittle. If you apply pressure to the frozen glue, it will fracture. Any remaining residue is easily removed using vinegar or a different natural oil like olive oil or peanut butter. Learning how to remove super glue from kitchen or bathroom countertops properly will eliminate permanent glue damage.
