Before starting, make sure you have the right supplies for the job:
Mix ¼ cup of laundry detergent in 1 quart of warm water. Soak the stained area of your clothing for at least 30 minutes. Gently scrub the stained area with a toothbrush if necessary. Rinse with cold water.
Mix ¼ cup of white vinegar to 1 quart of warm water. Submerge the stained area of the garment in the solution. Let soak for 15 minutes before rinsing with cold water. Repeat as needed.
If the above methods don’t work, try applying rubbing alcohol directly to the stained area. Saturate a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol and dab it onto the stain. Let sit for five to 10 minutes before rinsing with cold water. Repeat as needed.
With a few simple steps, you can easily get adhesive tape off of workwear. Start by soaking the stained area in a laundry detergent solution, then follow up with a white vinegar or rubbing alcohol solution if necessary. With a bit of patience and elbow grease, you should be able to successfully remove the adhesive tape stains from your clothing!
