How do I remove glue/adhesive from the Reusable Bald Cap™?

You can remove glue/adhesive stains from the bald cap by using these two methods.

Soaking method

1. Soak the cap: Begin by soaking the cap in lukewarm water for about 10-15 minutes. This helps soften the adhesive and make it easier to remove.

2. Use glue/adhesive remover: Apply the remover to areas of the faux-skin material where the glue/adhesive appears.

3. Gently remove glue/adhesive: Use a soft cloth or towel to gently wipe away the softened adhesive residue. Avoid using excessive force or pulling on the faux-skin material, as this can damage it.

4. Repeat if necessary: Depending on the strength of the glue/adhesive and the amount of residue left, you may need to repeat the soaking and removal process multiple times until all the glue/adhesive is removed.

Cotton wool method

1. Get cleaning tools: You will need a wig stand/flat surface, glue/adhesive remover, cotton wool, cleaning cloth or old towel. 

2. Use cotton wool: Apply thin layers of the cotton wool on the glue residue remaining on the faux-skin material. The cotton wool will act as a magnet to retract the glue residue from the faux-skin material.

3. Clean away glue residue from cap: Once the glue residue is stuck to the cotton wool, use the cleaning cloth or old towel to gently wipe the cotton wool from the cap. The glue residue will be pulled away with the cotton wool.

Repeat step 2-3 until no glue residue is left on the faux-skin material.

4. Use glue/adhesive remover: Once the residue is removed from the faux-skin material, use the glue/adhesive remover to clean away any remaining residue bits.


5. Wash cap as normal (optional): We would recommend to wash the Reusable Bald Cap™ with mild soap and water once the glue removal process is complete.

PLEASE NOTE: You may use a lace glue/adhesive remover to clean dried glue stains from your bald cap using cotton pads or a soft damp cloth. If there is a larger stain you may use a mild soap but always ensure you wipe dry. DO NOT USE A GLUE/ADHESIVE REMOVER THAT CONTAINS LAVENDER OIL (e.g EBIN NEW YORK - WONDER LACE BOND REMOVER) or USE ACETONE.
