Sticker on a Sweater

Thanks so much for your tips to my request. I used sticky tape and after several times, the adhesive was gone. I didn't have to wash it and it looks fine. I had purchased it in another state last year, so returning it was not an option. I now remove those stickers as soon as I purchase an item. Thanks again for the great tips on this and much, much more. I learn so much.

I would return it to the store. Adhesive is hard to remove and you may damage the fabric trying to do so. Do NOT run it through the washer and esp. the dryer which will set a stain.

I think I've read somewhere you can use a small amount og baby oil to remove the sticker. It's worth a try!

Something like this happened to us. We got my husband a pair of Perry Ellis slacks, and they had a sticker on the front of a leg. When I went to peel it off, much of the adhesive remained on the pants. Frustrating! I got out some clear packing tape, pressed it onto the adhesive, and quickly peeled it off. I had to do it several times, but eventually I got all of the sticky goo off. I don't know if it will work for you, because material of the slacks was smooth, but it can't hurt to try. Best of luck!

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.
