If you have a Ralph Lauren item of clothing that has been marred by adhesive tape, you know how difficult it is to remove! However, there are easy and effective ways to get that sticky adhesive off your clothes. Using an Alcohol Solution Mix one part rubbing alcohol with one part warm water to make a solution. Then, use a spot-treating brush to apply the solution to the stain. Allow the solution to sit for 10 minutes, then use the brush to scrub the area gently. When you’re finished, let fabric air dry. Removing Dried Tape If the adhesive tape has dried, you’ll need to take a more aggressive approach. Begin by applying a fabric softener to the stain. Then, cover the fabric softener with a rag or paper towel and press with an iron on the “steam” setting. The steam will help to loosen the adhesive. Once it’s loosened, use the spot-treating brush to scrub the area. Using WD-40 If all else fails, you may want to try using WD-40. Spray the WD-40 on the stain, making sure to avoid saturating the fabric, then use a damp cloth to wipe away the remaining residue. Be sure to test WD-40 on a small inconspicuous area before you apply it to the stained area. Additional Tips It’s best to act fast when it comes to removing adhesive tape stains. The sooner you can treat the stain, the better chance you have of completely removing it. If the stain is large, consider having the item professionally cleaned. Additionally, you should consider spot treating the garment before laundering to avoid further damage. FAQ Schema Markup
