2. Put the wardrobe item in the freezer.
3. After 30 minutes, remove the product.
4. Get rid of rhinestones with a sharp object (such as a knife) - they should easily move away.

Method number 3. Using a special soldering iron (for thermo-strass)

If you need to remove thermo-rhinestones, then you can not do without a special soldering iron for rhinestones. You can purchase such a tool in a special store for sewing products. This appliance may heat up to the melting point of the adhesive, so proceed as follows:

1. Heat the soldering iron to the required temperature.
2. Carefully attach the instrument to the crystal so that it glows. In this case, the glue base will melt.
3. Use tweezers to remove excess jewelry.

People's councils

To date, an effective traceless method for removing rhinestones from clothing does not exist, since the adhesive will still remain on the fabric. Therefore, we consider several popular ways to remove stains from glue from clothes:

• The adhesive trail can be removed with denatured alcohol or vinegar. Dampen a piece of cotton wool or a cloth with a tool and rub the stain thoroughly. After 30 minutes, soak the product in warm water and wash.
• You can also remove glue from rhinestones with acetone, but this technique is not suitable for thin, colored fabrics. Do not use acetone to clean synthetic fabrics.
• If folk remedies did not save the fabric from glue stains, then use modern drugs available in any hardware store. Such products are based on silicon dioxide and propylene carbonate; therefore, such a product will quickly rid the product of any impurities.
