Step 1: Collect Your Materials
Before you begin, make sure you have all the materials you need for the job. You will need:
- Laundry Detergent
- Oxygen bleach (such as OxiClean)
- White vinegar
- Stain remover (optional)
- Old toothbrush
- Clean cloths
- Warm water
Step 2: Pre-Treat the Stains
First, apply the laundry detergent directly onto the stained areas and let it sit for 15 minutes. If you have a store-bought stain remover, use that instead.
Step 3: Make the Cleaning Solution
Next, mix together 1/4 cup of oxygen bleach and 1 quart of warm water. If you don't have oxygen bleach, you can use white vinegar instead.
Step 4: Soak the Stained Area
Now, submerge the stained area in the cleaning solution and let it soak for 30 minutes. After the soaking, use an old toothbrush to gently scrub the stained area. This will help get rid of any persistent stains.
Step 5: Rinse and Repeat
Once you're done scrubbing, rinse the fabric off with cold water. If the stain still remains, repeat steps 2-5 until it's completely gone.
Step 6: Dry the Fabric
Finally, once the stain is gone, dry the fabric with clean cloths. Be sure not to put the fabric in the dryer, as this may set stain.
Conclusion
There you have it! With just a few simple steps, you can easily remove adhesive tape stains from cotton twill. Now you can wear your favorite twill shirt or jeans without any sticky residue.
