My son had a couple of large stickers on his shirt and unknowingly, I washed them. Now he has 2 large sticker "stains" on it. How do I get these off? Thanks in advance.

Use a paper bag and iron the shirt through the paper bag and the glue should come off and stick to the bag.

goo gone is the best!!! It will even get grease spots out of clothes too!!! Squirt it on the spot(s) and spray some shout over that wait 10-15 min then wash. Its AMAZING!
Good luck

If you don't have Goo Gone, try baby oil or another clear oil product. The oils break down the adhesive that's why WD 40 and Goo Gone work so well. You may even try vegetable oil!

Good luck!

This also works for gum: put a damp paper towel over the the stain and run a warm iron over it - the sticky stuff will transfer from the shirt to the paper towel!

One of my favorite and often used tricks!

Best of Luck!

Spray the area with WD-40, let it set for a few minutes and rub a little. Then was with the hotest water the fabric will take. You will have to wash it a few time to remove the oily smell. Another thing to try is the Goo Gone that is sold in most hardware stores (big box ones too). It smells like oranges so it's not at bad as the WD-40.

FYI--if you ever have crayons that go thru the washer/dryer and leave stains on the clothes or dryer drum, use the above WD-40 method to remove it. It REALLY works, even on white clothes....

Good luck,
Renee

My neighbor swears duct tape will do the trick--just put it over the sticker mess and pull off. I haven't tried it, but his daughter comes home covered in stickers frequently.

Goo Gone will take it right off and not harm your clothes.

Also works on gum and grease.

M.,

I have had good luck with the shout gel. I put it on liberally and let it soak overnight. Usually once will do the job, but sometimes it takes twice if it's a stubborn sticker. I have also heard that mayonnaise or white vinegar will do the job.

Good luck,
S.
