Adhesive tape can leave a mess on clothing when it is removed. This is especially true for denim fabric. After all, denim has a thick weave that can trap and absorb the adhesive residue. The good news is that there are a few simple steps you can take to safely and effectively remove adhesive residues from denim.
Steps to Remove Tape Stains from Denim
- Soak a cloth in warm, soapy water and then gently rub it onto the affected area.
- Once the adhesive residue is removed, rinse the denim fabric using cold water and gentle pressure from a clean, wet cloth.
- Using a different cloth, blot area dry. Make sure the denim is completely dry before moving onto the next step.
- If the stained area is still visible, lightly dab rubbing alcohol onto affected area with a cotton ball or soft cloth.
- Let the alcohol sit for a minute or two, and then wipe it away with a damp cloth.
- Once the stain is gone, launder the denim and air dry.
By following these steps, you can easily remove adhesive tape stains from denim fabric without damaging the material. However, if stains are stubborn or you don't have right kind of materials, you should take the item to a professional cleaner.
