depending on the type of PVA used, a long soak in warm soapy water will probably work.
PVA is only water-proof if the tub says it is.
Attack with a stiff toothbrush after 1/2 hour or so.

Don't even need that, PVA glue with come off with an overnight soak in just warm water, and won't damage the rest of the paintwork to boot!
