The first step is to loosen the adhesive tape from the seersucker fabric. Carefully scrape away the tape using a dull knife. If you don't have a knife handy, a credit card or similar flat object can also work in a pinch. Be careful not to press too hard against the fabric as this could damage it.
Once you've removed the majority of the tape, use a clean cloth to dab at the area to remove any residual adhesive. Be sure to use a gentle motion to avoid rubbing the fabric too harshly. The goal is to remove as much of the residue as possible.
If the tape has left behind any stubborn residue, you can try using an alcohol-based cleaner. Spray the stained area with the cleaner and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, use a damp cloth to rub the area gently. This should help to remove any remaining adhesive.
Once you've cleaned the seersucker fabric, rinse it with warm water to remove the cleaner. Finally, blot fabric with a dry cloth and let it air-dry completely. This will help to ensure that any adhesive residue has been completely removed.
