Preparation and Safety

• Ventilation: Make sure your workspace is well ventilated when working with any solvent, as even common products can have strong fumes.
• Test First: Always test a small, inconspicuous area of the glass to ensure the solvent won’t harm or etch the surface.
• Non-abrasive Mindset: Remember that patience and gentle methods are key to preserving the look of your glass table.

Removal Process

• Soften the Residue: Dampen a soft cloth with warm, soapy water or a gentle solvent like isopropyl alcohol. Let the area sit a couple of minutes so the glue residue can loosen up.
• Gently Scrape Away: Using a plastic scraper or an old credit card, gently lift the residue off the glass. Work slowly and carefully to avoid scratching. The idea is to let the solvent do the heavy lifting.
• Repeat if Needed: Some glue residue can be stubborn. If you see more glue after your first pass, reapply the solvent, allow it to work a bit longer, and then scrape again. Patience here saves your table’s finish.

Final Cleaning

• Clean Thoroughly: After removing most of the glue, clean the area with a glass cleaner or a mix of water and a few drops of dish detergent. This helps remove any lingering solvent and adhesive particles.
• Rinse and Dry: Rinse the glass with clean water, and dry it using a lint-free cloth or paper towel. This final step ensures no residue or streaks are left behind.

Extra Tips

• Slow and Steady: For very persistent glue residue, let the solvent sit for a bit longer before scraping. The extra time can help break down the adhesive further.
• Stay Gentle: Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrapers. They might remove the stubborn glue but at the cost of scratches or damage to your glass table.
