Sticky strip on clothes

9 years ago

I bought a top that had one of those sticky strips down the front showing the size. I've washed it, but you can still see where the sticky strip was. Any suggestions on getting that out?

Wow, that is weird. What kind of fabric? I sometimes buy clothes with those strips at Costco and never had an issue. I would pretreat with blue Dawn dish detergent and rewash in the warmest water the fabric can take. Or maybe Fels Naptha soap. After that, I'd be returning it. So sorry.

If you like the top enough to fool with it and the fabric tolerates it, use a little goo gone or adhesive remover to dissolve and while still wet use some detergent to spot it. Then wash again. Otherwise return.
