Adhesive tape stains can be difficult to remove from cotton denim, but with the right know-how, you can get your jeans clean and looking like new again. Here are some simple steps you can follow that will help you clean adhesive tape stains from your denim.

Step 1: Pre-treat the Stain

The first step in removing adhesive tape stain is to pre-treat the affected area with a gentle solution of warm water and liquid detergent, or a spot cleaner specifically designed for garments. Soak a cloth in the solution and gently blot the stained area to loosen the adhesive. Repeat this step until the stain is loosened and ready for further treatment.

Step 2: Wash the Garment

Once the stain is loosened, the next step is to wash the garment in warm water and a laundry detergent that is safe for cotton denim. Try to use a gentle cycle so that the garment doesn't come out too stiff. If the stain is still visible, repeat step one and then wash the garment again until the stain is completely gone.

Step 3: Dry the Garment

When garment has been washed and the stain is removed, it's time to dry it. Place the garment in the dryer on a low heat setting and let it dry completely. Make sure garment is completely dry before using the dryer again, as any residual moisture might cause the adhesive tape stain to set and become more difficult to remove.

Conclusion

With the right know-how, adhesive tape stains can be easily removed from cotton denim. Follow the steps outlined above and you'll be able to have your denim looking good as new.
