How to Get Adhesive Off Glass
- 1). Put on a pair of thick rubber gloves, as acetone can strip your skin of its natural oils and cause dryness.
- 2). Fold the paper towel in half, and then in half again so it is four layers thick.
- 3). Pour acetone on the paper towel until it is saturated.
- 4). Lay the acetone on the part of the glass that has the adhesive on it and let it sit for five minutes. If you are applying the acetone to a window that is standing upright, hold it in place over the adhesive for five minutes or as long as you can.
- 5). Take the acetone-soaked paper towel off the adhesive and rub the area with a dry paper towel. Rub from one side of the adhesive to the other, as if you are pushing the glue to one side. If the glue does not seem quite ready to lift, reapply the acetone-soaked paper towel for another two minutes.
- 6). Rinse down the glass with plain water when the glue has been removed. After the glass has been thoroughly rinsed, you can clean the glass however you desire.
