Removing Tape From a Woven Fabric Seat

I want to remove old tape of a 60's baby blue floral, shiny and dull, woven fabric seat of a chair. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Cynthia

Sometimes rubbing alcohol can remove the stickiness of the tape. Make sure it won't discolour the fabric first by trying it on a hidden area of the seat cover. If it doesn't discolour it, you can try lifting a tiny edge of the tape and then apply the alcohol gradually pulling the tape as it loosens. It may take some time depending on how big the piece of tape is. Remember, go slowly!

Good Luck
