Here’s a wild one: super glue becomes brittle when it’s freezing cold. Pop a few ice cubes into a plastic bag and press it against the glue blob for 10–15 minutes. The glue will get so cold it might text its mom complaining about the weather.
Once it’s frozen, tap it with a wooden spoon or the back of a butter knife. Pop! It will often shatter into a few clean pieces that you can just sweep away. It’s like breaking a tiny, annoying piece of glass. Satisfying, right?

What NOT to Do (A Cautionary Tale)
Do not use a metal razor blade or a knife. You will scratch the porcelain. Do not use cooking oil or butter, because you’ll just end up with a greasy, glued-on mess that smells like a diner floor. And please, please don’t use a blowtorch. I know it sounds cool, but you’ll melt the grout and possibly start a fire. We’re removing glue, not roasting marshmallows.
Also, if you have children or pets, make sure they are far, far away from the acetone fumes. Open a window. Your room should smell like a nail salon, not a hazmat site.
