Soak the glue residue in rubbing alcohol, acetone, or vinegar. Leave it soaked for a few minutes then try scraping it off again. If the glue still proves too stubborn, try heating it up with a hair dryer. This should help loosen up the glue.
Vegetable or canola oil can work wonders, as can peanut butter or mayonnaise. Spread it on, let it soak into the residue for about an hour, then wipe it away. For a tougher clean, try rubbing alcohol or vodka. Let it fully permeate the unwanted residue, then rub away completely with a cloth.
Blot the glue with acetone or rubbing alcohol and let this substance break down the glue. Clear away with a damp cloth. For fabric: Use acetone, but test sparingly first to avoid potential damage. Once the adhesive bond has begun to break, apply a pretreatment stain remover deep into the glue.
If the super glue is dry, apply ice in a bag to the glue for five minutes until it becomes brittle and can be removed in chunks by applying pressure with your fingers. Remove any residue with small amounts of acetone and clean with a natural oil like vinegar or peanut butter.
Wet adhesive can be cleaned up with soapy water if it is water-based; if it's solvent-based, acetone (nail polish remover) is the answer. For glue that has already set, you will need to hold ice on the spill for five minutes until the glue becomes brittle.
Dampen a cotton ball or folded paper towel with isopropyl alcohol and place it against the glued-on area. Let the alcohol sit on the surface for about 5 minutes.

If pure acetone isn't handy, try nail polish remover. Press the rag or cotton against the glue until it dissolves. Wipe away thoroughly. Try scraping it away with a putty knife or razor blade.
Prefer a method for getting super glue off metal without acetone? Use vinegar as a replacement! It may not work as quickly, but you can simply follow the same steps as above. You may need to soak the area with the cotton ball and vinegar for up to an hour while the glue softens.
Apply Heat. If you are dealing with a delicate surface and are unable to use adhesive remover, acetone, rubbing alcohol, etc., a bit of heat may do the trick, without damaging the surface. Some stubborn adhesives melt or soften and become much easier to remove when heated. Heat the adhesive using a heat gun.
