Glue stains on your bras can be caused by many things, including tape residue, accidentally transferring glue from something else, or just old glue residue. Whatever the cause, these stains can be quite stubborn and difficult to remove. However, with right method, you can easily remove them without damaging your bras.
Removing Glue Stains from Bras
The best and safest way to remove glue stains from your bras is to use a mixture of mild detergent and warm water. Simply mix one teaspoon of detergent into a cup of warm water and dip a clean cloth or sponge into the mixture. Gently dab the stain with the cloth or sponge and allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off with cold water. Do not rub or scrub the stain as this can damage the fabric of your bra.
If the glue stain is still visible after using the detergent and water mixture, you can try using a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Dip a soft cloth into the rubbing alcohol and gently blot the stain until it disappears. Rubbing alcohol is a powerful cleaner, so make sure you do not use too much as it may discolor the fabric.
You can also try using an oil-based product such as WD-40 or olive oil to remove glue stains from your bras. Simply spray the oil directly onto stain and let it sit for a few minutes. Once stain has softened, gently scrub it off with a damp cloth.
For tougher glue stains, you may need to take your bras to the dry cleaner. Professional dry cleaners have special chemicals that can safely remove stubborn glue stains from delicate fabrics.
Preventing Glue Stains on Your Bras
To reduce the chances of getting glue stains on your bras in the future, there are a few simple steps you can follow. First, never apply any adhesive directly onto your bras, whether it is tape, glue, or another adhesive. If you must use adhesives, make sure you cover the area with a cloth or piece of fabric to protect the fabric of your bra.
Second, always check your bras for any glue or tape residue before washing them. If you find any, make sure you remove it before putting your bras in washing machine. Washing them with glue or tape residue can cause the adhesive to bond permanently with the fabric.
Finally, be careful when storing your bras. If the fabric comes into contact with any adhesive, it can easily transfer to the fabric, leaving glue stains. To prevent this from happening, store your bras in a drawer or closet away from any adhesive products.
Conclusion
Glue stains on your bras can be a pain to remove, but with the right method, you can easily get rid of them. Follow the tips outlined in this article and you can keep your bras looking as good as new.
