Removing the Tape and the Residue
The most important part of removing adhesive tape is to first get rid of tape itself. Try using a butter knife or other dull object to gently lift up the corners of the tape and peel away from the handbag. Do not use sharp objects like scissors or knives as it may damage the leather material.
Once you’ve removed the tape, use a damp cloth with lukewarm water to clean the area and get rid of any remaining residue. You can use a mild soap if needed. Don’t scrub too hard as this can further damage the material. Once you’ve cleaned area, make sure to dry the handbag thoroughly.
Cleaning with Natural Products
For more stubborn tape residue, you can use natural products such as olive oil. Rub a few drops of oil onto the residue and allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes. Use a clean cloth to wipe away residue. Just like with the damp cloth, make sure to dry the handbag when done.
If that doesn’t work, you can also use white vinegar and baking soda. Mix a few drops of vinegar with a teaspoon of baking soda until it forms a paste. Apply to the tape residue and leave on for 10-15 minutes before wiping off with a damp cloth. Again, make sure to dry the handbag.
Leather Conditioner
Finally, once you’ve removed all the adhesive tape residue, you should use a leather conditioner to restore the leather material to its original condition. Leather conditioners come in different formulas, so make sure to use a conditioner that is suitable for your Kate Spade handbag.
With right products and techniques, you can easily remove adhesive tape stains from your Kate Spade handbag.
