How to Clean Adhesive Tape Stains

  1. Begin by pouring some rubbing alcohol onto a soft cloth. Don't apply it directly onto wallet as it may damage the material.
  2. Gently rub the cloth on the affected areas of wallet. The adhesive tape stains should start to lift from the material.
  3. If some of residue is still present, use a cotton swab dampened with rubbing alcohol to clean off any remaining residue.
  4. Once all the stains have been removed, use a lint roller to pick up any remaining pieces of adhesive.
  5. Let the wallet dry completely before using it again.

Tips for Cleaning Sticky Residue

  • It's best to treat adhesive stains as soon as possible. The longer they sit, the harder it will be to remove them.
  • Be careful when using rubbing alcohol since it can damage certain materials. Make sure to test it on a hidden area first.
  • If above method doesn't work, try using a stronger cleaning solution such as nail polish remover.
