What You Will Need:
- Dry-cleaning solvent
- Clean white cloth
- Iron
- Rubbing alcohol
Step 1: Scrape off the Tape Residue
Take something with a hard edge, like a butter knife, and gently scrape off as much of the residue as possible. Be careful not to tear the fabric.
Step 2: Apply the Dry-Cleaning Solvent
Using a clean white cloth, dampen the cloth with the dry-cleaning solvent and apply it directly to stain. Gently rub the cloth against the stain until sticky residue is gone.
Step 3: Heat Stain with an Iron
Turn your iron on low heat and place the stained area on a clean white cloth. Hold the iron over the affected area for 30-60 seconds. This will heat up the dry-cleaning solvent and help to dissolve the residue.
Step 4: Rinse with Rubbing Alcohol
After heating the stain with the iron, use a cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol to rinse the area. This will help to remove any remaining residue.
