Introduction

From price sticker residue to foam tape residue, these sticky situations can be tricky to clean. But don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Below are some tips and tricks to get sticky adhesive off fabric.

Identify the foamy residue.

The first step to getting the tape residue off of your fabric is to identify the foamy residue. This step should not be skipped, because you may think it’s a stain, or a chemical reaction or dye reaction, or even some kind of fabric problem.

It’s important to note that these are not signs of tape residue:

• Stains – usually discolored spots or blotches on fabric caused by chemicals or dyes reacting with it. In most cases, these can’t be removed by washing alone (although in some cases they might be). They often require special cleaning methods like an enzyme presoak or adhesive remover for removal.
• Chemical reactions – these occur when two substances come together and react chemically (often causing an unwanted side effect). Common examples include combining hydrogen peroxide with bleach, which produces more oxygen than needed; mixing vinegar and baking soda results in carbon dioxide gas being released into the air around them; rubbing alcohol mixed with ammonia creates chloramine vapors that irritate eyes and lungs when inhaled/breathed in large amounts over time; etcetera…

Gently remove any foam residue by hand.

To gently remove any foam residue by hand, try using a soft cloth to gently rub the affected area. If you are having trouble removing the tape residue, you can use a hair dryer on low heat to soften the glue and help it come off easier. If none of these methods work, try using a dull knife (like an old butter knife) to carefully scrape away at softened foam residue until it is gone.

If you only have one or two spots where tape has been stuck on fabric and want to avoid having to clean them individually: lay down some newspaper or cardboard before beginning this process so that any pieces of foam that come off can be easily picked up and disposed of without leaving an unsightly mess behind!

Rinse the affected area and let it air dry.

The next step is to rinse the affected area and let it air dry. This can take anywhere from a few hours to a day, depending on how much tape residue was left behind. Do not use a dryer or any sort of brush or iron on your fabric; this will only cause more damage to your garment, and could possibly ruin it altogether!

Also make sure that you use a gentle detergent like Woolite when you’re rinsing out your clothes—otherwise, harsh chemicals will further dull the fibers and damage your clothes even more than they already have been.

If you are still having problems, try using a hair dryer for about 30 seconds to soften up the tape.

Next, use a razor blade or other sharp tool to gently scrape off as much of the residue as possible.

Use a dull knife to gently scrape off the softened residue.

If the tape has softened, you can gently scrape it off using a dull knife. Be careful not to damage the fabric as you do so.

Use a soft cloth to wipe away any remaining residue from your fabric and you’re done!

If this didn’t work for you and all else fails: try an adhesive remover (like this one)

If all else fails, try an adhesive remover with alcohol or acetone as an active ingredient. Apply a small amount of the solution to the affected area with a cotton ball, and then gently rub to remove the remaining sticker glue from fabric.

If you use something like Goo Gone or Goof Off, make sure there are no fumes in your room when you’re doing this!

Don’t be afraid to ask a professional dry cleaner for more advice.

If you are not sure how to remove tape residue from fabric, or if you have tried unsuccessfully and need more help, don’t be afraid to ask a professional dry cleaner for help. They will know what products to use and how best to approach the problem.

If you do decide to try removing tape yourself, make sure that you don’t use a razor blade or sharp object of any kind as these could damage your clothes. Also avoid solvents like nail polish remover because they may fade colors on fabrics (especially light colors).
