How to Get Carpet Glue Out of Jeans

Carpet glue is a very strong adhesive used by professionals to bond carpet to the flooring beneath it. Carpet glue products often contain a rubber- or resin-based adhesive, and may contain other chemicals that make the product fire-resistant and mold-resistant. Therefore, it's important to use gloves and caution when working with any type of carpet glue. If you happen to get a stain on your jeans or clothing while working, take action immediately. The quicker you attack the stain, the more likely you are to remove it.
