I tried to use iron on letters on a shirt. The letters did not stick, but the adhesive did. Any suggestions on removing the adhesive?

Hairspray or vinegar also work very well!

Just used GOO GONE successfully to take adhesive out of a Spandex and Rayon garment thanks to thriftyfun

I just used the paper towel trick by placing the paper towel over the adhesive, putting a cloth over the towel, and ironing. It worked like a charm. Thanks!

My daughter got fabric adhesive on her jeans, she washed them, thinking it would come out in the wash! Now she gave them to me her mom to figure out how to remove it. I soaked them in water. I used goo gone and no luck yet? Any suggestions?(

I am a professional and I would recommend that you use glue, as your daughter has got glue on her clothing. So you don't burn the material put a cloth over the item of clothing and on the part the glue is sticking to the material. Thanks and I hope that I have helped you in some way. Thanks x

Deep Woods Off (bug spray) removes tree sap from clothes -- perhaps it would also remove adhesive!

A friend of mine asked me if I could help her. A label was applied to a rayon/polyester dress and then forgotten. It was washed and now there is a sticky adhesive on the dress. Do you know how this could be removed?

Answers:

Iron over it with a paper towel

Just iron over it with a paper towel on the garment and a cloth over that. That way, the glue will melt and go on the paper towel, but it won't burn because you are actually ironing the cloth one. Lisa (11/30/2000)

"Un Du"

You can use a product called "Un Du " works great, and also Goo gone. Both are great, My daughter uses Goo gone all of the time to get oil out of her clothes from work. Works on anything sticky. Hope this helps Rosa (11/30/2000)

I actually found the answer to my own question of last week.

It's up to you if you want to post it in case others with the same problem could use the answer. I found it at www.tide.com Here it is:"Advice from the Stain Detective, customized to help remedy your stain problem. Stain: Epoxy Resins/super glue Color: Colored, Printed or has Color Trim Fabric: Polyester Steps: * 1. Before treating any garment, always refer to the care label instructions first. 2. Colored items must be protected by pretesting the effects of stain removal techniques on a hidden area of the item. * 3. Use the solvent specified by the manufacturer.* 4. Pre treat with Liquid Tide and TideKick. * 5. Wash in 1 use of Tide in warm water. If there is any stain remaining . * 6. Repeat procedure if necessary." Mavis (11/30/2000)

Goo-Gone

There's a product called Goo-Gone that will work to remove all kinds of adhesives to clothes (and carpets, etc.). My parents used to use lighter fluid and it works the same way, but it seems to me that Goo-Gone, besides smelling better, would be safer. Diane (11/30/2000)

RE: How to Remove Super Glue from Clothes

Hi Louise, Goo Gone is available at many grocery stores in the hardware section or any hardware store. There is also a Super Glue solvent available at hardware stores, too. Good luck, Susan (06/08/2005)

RE: How to Remove Adhesive from Clothes

I have had this happen before also, and I found that lighter fluid will remove it easily without ruining the color or fabric. Just pour lighter fluid on the spot and rub with a dry cloth and wash immediatly with your regular laundry. Since this is flammable, please use with caution. Good luck. Vanessa (08/01/2006)

RE: How to Remove Adhesive from Clothes

I'm in New Zealand and can't get Go-gone easily but the lighter fluid trick worked a TREAT with my son's white school top. I'd just be worried about colour fading with colours if they were new clothes and the die was not "washed out". MANY thanks for the lighter fluid tip. Terry (06/27/2007)
