How do I remove sticker residue from clothes? |

It has happened to nearly all of us, a sticker label gets left on a shirt accidentally and goes through the washer or worse, the dryer. How to remove the sticker or decal residue left behind? It always makes us confused. Usually the paper part of the sticker labels washes away in the washer and you're left with the residue or adhesive that is used on the back. Quite often, the adhesive has attracted dirt or lint and the stain looks almost black. Begin by heating undiluted white vinegar in the microwave until it is quite warm. Use a sponge and saturate the sticker labels with the warm vinegar. Allow the area to "soak" in the vinegar until the adhesive loosens. Rinse the label with cool water. Treat the area with a prewash stain remover and launder as usual. Check the sticker labels after laundering. If any residue remains, repeat the treatment. Do not put the garment in the dryer until all adhesive is gone. If the garment has already been through the dryer, it makes take several attempts to remove the entire residue. You can also use acetone on the residue. First, you must make sure the shirt is color stable. Put the sticky side of the shirt face down on a white towel. Pour the acetone onto the back of the shirt and rub. It may take several attempts to get the entire residue to come off. |
