How do I remove glue from leather car seats?

I picked up my daughter from school and she had a bottle of glue in her bag. It must have opened up because it leaked all over the leather seats in my car. How can I get rid of the glue on my leather car seats?

That’s a bummer! Glue is hard to remove from anything, let alone leather seats. The good news is that with a bit of elbow grease, a scraper, soapy water, and some acetone, you should be able to remove the glue.
To start, gather the following items:
  • Scraper
  • Hand towel
  • Acetone or nail polish remover
  • Sponge
  • Cotton swabs
Then, follow these steps to remove glue from leather car seats:
  • Gently use the scraper to remove the excess glue.
  • Apply warm, soapy water to the affected area with a sponge.
  • If the soapy water doesn’t work, apply acetone to the area with a cotton swab.
  • Dab the area with a towel to remove the glue.
  • Wash with warm, soapy water.
  • Repeat until the glue is gone.
