Hi Mo, I think PVA is water soluble so it should wash out - check the bottle/tub, there might be special cleaning instructions on it.

Hope it comes out OK.

You're right, it is water based,my book says to saturate a paper towel with warm water, place on the glue spot for up to an hour till the glue softens,then rub with a rug in circular motions till the glue is removed. Hope you get the glue out.

If water doesn't work why not try painting over it?

I'm a primary school teacher and use pva glue on a more or less daily basis.
I've never yet managed to get it out of clothes (in 7 years).
I have parents asking me how to remove it too, but I can't help them. It's awful stuff.

Do they have a helpline number on the bottles of glue? You could try phoning/e-mailing/writing to the company & see if they have any suggestions for getting it off fabrics/materials.
