Steps to Clean Tape Stains from Crepe
- Start by examining the stain. If it is still wet, use a paper towel to blot the excess liquid from the fabric. Be sure to do this gently so as not to further damage the fabric.
- Once the fabric is dry, soak a soft cloth in warm water and mild soap. Gently scrub the area where the tape has left its mark.
- Gently rub the cloth in a circular motion until the stain begins to fade. Make sure to keep the fabric damp while working on it.
- Rinse the fabric with cool water and blot it dry with a clean cloth.
- If the stain persists, repeat steps 2-4 until it has been removed.
