Most adhesives become brittle when exposed to sub-zero temperatures, so you can put the item in a plastic bag and freeze it.

The second method is to use acetone, which easily removes glue from surfaces in just 15 minutes. In the case of colored fabrics, it is better to use nail remover containing acetone.

Another liquid that easily copes with superglue is gasoline.

In this case, you need to first conduct a test so as not to spoil the fabric. After that, soak a swab in gasoline and leave it for 15-20 minutes, periodically checking whether the glue has dissolved.

It is important to remember that both acetone and gasoline are flammable liquids that easily catch fire, so be sure to follow safety precautions when working with them.
