How to get sticker glue off clothing

[Anonymous]

Wasn’t sure which forum to post this in, but i accidentally washed one of DC’s shirts that still had stickers on it, and now there’s sticker glue stuck to the shirt. Is there any way to get it off or is the shirt just garbage now?

So replace glue with an oil stain? Ok!

I tried using packing tape once and it was moderately successful at lifting adhesive.

But then yeah, you can use goo gone if the fabric can take it. The goo gone will come right out with hot water and some dish soap or just rub with a little extra detergent before you wash it.

Try using an alcohol pad or hand sanitizer

Duct tape!! As long as you haven’t washed it, duct tape works every time. Put it down, pull it up and repeat until it’s gone. Make sure it’s brand name duct tape.

I’ve never had that happen. Get the sticky stuff off, add liquid detergent to that same area to spot-treat, put item in the washer, add detergent as normal, and wash on cold. No oil stain.

Rubbing alcohol and a tweezer. Takes forever, especially if it went through the dryer, but it can be done.

Hairspray or hand sanitizer might work as well. Like dissolves like, polar solvents (like water) won't work, look for non polar ones.

The point of my post is that it was washed with the sticker on, so the glue is in there.

Interesting. I thought Goo Gone might work, but I was worried it would leave its own stain.
