elmers is water-based. A standard carpet steamer should do it. If not, try throwing solvents at it. I use rubbing alcohol and acetone on carpet all the time. The stains just run right down to the mat where no-one will ever see them. They never seem to hurt the carpet at all.

Elmers is a water base glue so really take a sponge and water or get a carpet scrubber with hot water

Oh.. that is going to be tough.. that is why they use elmer's glue because it bonds with the material it is being used on.. BUT.. the best thing is to try to crumble or lightly scrape out what you can.. then use nail polish remover(acetone) and attempt to get the rest of it ouit

Regular old Elmers Glue you can probably steam it out. That stuff gets soft when exposed to warm water. You could try a steam iron, that might work.

Hi
I would recommend using a wet vac and slowly pouring warm water on the spot and vacuum it up at the same time to remove the sticky residue.

Heat it with a hair dryer, carefully, and pinch it out with a cotton rag.
