I bought a black sweater from Wal Mart and it had one of those sticker price tags on the front and some of the sticker got left on the front of it. I have tried everything to get it off. I have washed it a ton of times and I still haven't been able to remove it. Please help.

White spirit, check on inconspicuous place for colour run first. This works on hard surfaces so should work.

Where in Wal Mart is the Goo Gone?
Editor's Note: Try in the paint department.

I would take it back to Wal Mart and show them that it did not come off. They should give you another one.

For stickers on solid surfaces, I use my hair dryer but I don't know how that would work on a sweater. You can also try Goo Gone, which is supposed to do the same thing.

Ronson's lighter fuel will take it off and will not damage the garment.

I am a little leary of using anything with an oil base to it, to remove sticker glue. It would be like trading one evil for another in my honest opinion. One thing I use to remove gum, price tags and sticker glue and has always worked and never left a stain ....is paint thinner or lighter fluid...of course a good laundering is necessary afterwords; but it takes care of the original problem without causing another.

I totally agree with the WD40 trick as I do know that it works on other things. Spray the WD40 on a cotton tip and work the sticker free. Good luck!

There is a product called Oops on the market. It works great!

Try Goo-Gone. It's found at places like Walmart and K-Mart.


Post By sueey (Guest Post) (03/30/2006)
as I recall, you can use wd-40 on fabrics. You might test an inconspicuous area first, but it should remove any adhesive.

tap it with sticky tape. sticky 'sticks' to sticky, so this should remove any remaining residue. of course, if it's been cooked into the fibres by putting in the dryer, you might be 'stuck' with it the way it is

I haven't tried this myself, but maybe you could put white vinegar on, let it sit for a while and then wash.
