Adhesive tape is extremely useful for all sorts of reasons. But it’s a pain when it leaves stains on your clothes and other fabric items such as raincoats.
You can get rid of adhesive tape stains from raincoats with some simple steps.
What You’ll Need
You'll need:
- Soft cloth
- Cotton swab
- Rubbing alcohol
- Cream of tartar
- White vinegar
- Dish soap
Instructions
- Using a soft cloth, gently rub or dab the stained area to remove as much of the adhesive as possible.
- Apply rubbing alcohol to a cotton swab and blot stained area. Repeat until the adhesive is removed.
- Mix together some cream of tartar and white vinegar so that it forms a paste. Using a soft cloth, apply paste to the stained area and let sit for a few minutes before wiping off. This should help to remove the rest of the adhesive.
- If the stain still persists, mix together a solution of dish soap and water. Dip a soft cloth in the solution and blot the stained area. Continue dabbing until the stain is gone.
