I washed/dryed a nylon/polyester sweater and I forgot to remove the name tag that we had stuck on it. How do I get the sticky and the paper off the shirt.
Oh, I've had that happen to me, too! You can try several things. First, get a damp washcloth and put it under the area where the sticker was. Lay another damp washcloth on top. Iron it on a setting high enough that the sweater layer gets really steamy, without burning the cloth. Being careful not to burn your hands, rub the top washcloth over the area and pray that the stuff starts coming off. It will, eventually, come out. It just takes patience Faster and safest way bring it to the dry cleaners and show them the area. They're professionals and probably have had to deal with this before. Cheaper, more dangerous way. Lighter fluid. Dab a little on the inside hem of the sweater to make sure colors don't bleed or do anything funky. If it looks okay, place a brown paper bag inside the sweater and underneath the name tag residue. Squirt a bit of lighter fluid on it, then gently rub with a cloth. Afterwards, rinse repeatedly in cool water to get rid of the residue on both the sweater and the washcloth. With the last method, rinsing the fabrics well is essential. Never, ever just leave the lighter fluid in the cloths - this can start a fire. For several generations, my family has used lighter fluid to remove things like labels and chewing gum from various products. It's also good for removing stickers from items. Just please, please be careful. Good luck!
this would seem loopy yet you will desire to purchase surgical spirit (small brown bottle) from the chemist. This works wonders on eliminating sticky issues like labels/glue etc. in simple terms pour some on a cotton cloth and rub gently over the sticky aspects. they are going to initiate back away after some minute of rubbing it.
