Step 1: Identifying the Stain

First, it's important to identify the source of stain. In this case, it's likely that it's an adhesive tape stain. If you aren't sure, look for signs of a sticky residue. Once you've confirmed it's from adhesive tape, you're ready to move on to the next step.

Step 2: Treating Stain

For this type of stain, it's best to use a combination of laundry detergent and vinegar. To start, put some laundry detergent onto stained area and gently rub it into the fabric. Then, add a small amount of white vinegar to the stain and continue to rub fabric.

At this point, you can also use a toothbrush to scrub the stained area. The combination of the laundry detergent and the vinegar should be enough to remove the sticky residue and break down the adhesive.

Step 3: Washing the Panties

Now that the adhesive tape stain has been treated, it's time to throw your panties in washing machine. Make sure water temperature is set to cold and use a mild detergent. You may also want to add an additive such as OxyClean or woolite for extra cleaning power.

Once the cycle is finished, lay the panties flat to dry. Avoid using the dryer as the heat could set the stain.

Step 4: Inspecting the Panties

Once panties have dried, take a close look and inspect them for any lingering stains. If the stain is still visible, repeat steps 2 and 3 before trying another cleaner.
