How to Remove Sticker Adhesive Residue From Laundered Clothes
We all know the feeling. You grab your favorite blouse out of the dryer just to realize that you forgot to take off the sticker that your daughter slapped on you during your last trip to the supermarket. Now instead of a brilliant blue (that really accents your eyes!) it is a brilliant blue with a huge spot of sticker residue on the front. Never fear. It will be good as new if you follow these easy steps.

First things first. Go get your supplies and get ready to wash your shirt again. Once you are done removing the sticker adhesive residue, you need to immediately launder.

2
Douse the area with a good dish detergent (I recommend Palmolive) to avoid ending up with an oil stain in place of your sticker residue

3
Put skin-so-soft (by Avon) on spot. Let sit for five minutes. Come back and residue should come easily off with a fingernail. If not, put a little more on and try again in five minutes.

Once you get the sticker residue removed, launder your article of clothing again. Voila! It is as good as new!

Great advice! My daughter is terrible for slapping me with stickers, and more than once I've faced the dreaded 'washed sticker residue' issue! Thanks!

My son likes to put stickers on his shirts--sometimes I miss them in the wash. Thanks for the help.

Nice article, now can you tell me how to get crayons out of clothing .. My son once left crayons in his pocket, I washed clothes, half the clothes came out dyed .. I blamed myself for not checking his pockets. Maybe you can write an article about that ??
