Thank you to those who suggested I use Goo Gone to get sticker residue off my daughters shirts. Now I can't get the smell of Goo Gone out of the shirts! I've washed three times with vinegar, I've let it soak in detergent, I've used extra detergent and the smell still lingers strongly (which smells like gasoline for those of you wondering what the odor is like). Any other ideas?! Thank you!

Melissa W.

The crew that installed new windows in my home used Goo Be Gone to clean the stickers off the windows. The house stunk for 2 days; airing it out didn't work, neither did six little bowls of vinegar throughout the 1100 sq ft area. What DID work was closing the windows and heating the house up to about 86 degrees. The heat minimized the smell.

Hi Melissa I know just what you are talking about I have just rid my house of goo gone for good. My son used goo gone on a couple of spot on my large area rug the rug had to be taken out I tried everything vinegar, baking soda, cleaners, when I contacted the company they told me to use vinegar to get out the citrus smell I sure don't agree with a citrus smell that smell lingers FOREVER and has a terribly strong odor.

Try soaking them in bleach that is color safe

You may want to hang it outside for a few days to let it air out.

Sorry to hear that, Melissa. I've never had that happen when I used Goo-gone, so I'm not sure what you should do. Have you tried soaking the shirt in baking soda and water (a high baking soda/water ratio)? That would be the next thing I'd try, then I'd wash it after soaking (if the smell seems gone or mostly gone), and hang it out to dry. I hope if this doesn't help, someone else can give you some guidance.
