Remving Dried Elmers Glue from Carpet

Do what the other Joe said. And, just to be sure after you call the manufacturer, you could put some glue on a piece of scrap cloth, let it dry, and then try the gentlest cleaner you have on hand to see if it works. Old Indian trick: Whatever shampoo you use on the kid's hair.

The *white* Elmer's glue is water soluble when dry. Blot with sponge dampened with warm water, and follow by blotting with a clean towel.

If it was the brown Elmer's glue I don't think that trick will work.

imho:

I have had luck with such items, like play-doh, paste, etc doing this.

1. Chip as much way as possible without hurting anything.

1. Soften it up with a damp cloth, for a while. Not too long, I'm affraid of mold and mildew. :D

2. Carpet cleaning machine, over and over.

I can get most stains down to very unnoticable with spot cleaning, and then when I do regular rug cleaning I can get about invisible. It seems to work for me, but no clue if it will work for you.
