How Do You Remove Sticker Residue From Fabric?
Stickers that have been washed and dried on clothing leave a stubborn residue behind. Because the sticker glue residue has a plastic base, trying to remove it by scrubbing with soap and water will not successfully remove the residue. Before you give up and discard clothing that has sticker residue, there are several methods to try to remove the residue. These methods should remove all traces of the laundered sticker. Spray the sticker residue area liberally with WD-40 to saturate it. Allow the WD-40 to sit on the stain for several minutes. Hand wash the residue area with the Dawn dish washing liquid. Wash the clothing again in the washing machine. If the sticker residue is removed, dry as usual in the dryer. If the residue remains, the WD-40 treatment can be repeated. Apply M-30 to the sticker residue area on dry fabric. Apply enough product to thoroughly saturate the stain. Allow it to sit for at least 15 minutes. If the residue is especially severe, the M-30 can be left on overnight.
