Tips for Preventing Adhesive Tape Stains

  • Use masking tape or painter’s tape instead of regular adhesive tape. These tapes are designed to not leave residue behind.
  • If you must use regular adhesive tape, test it on an inconspicuous part of the fabric first.
  • Avoid using adhesive tape on delicate fabrics such as silk or chiffon.
  • If you need to hang decorations or artwork from your hanbok, consider using removable hooks instead.
