How To Remove an Iron-On Patch From a Shirt

Iron-on patches are not permanent. You can easily remove an applied patch from a shirt in a few simple steps.

Things You'll Need

• Shirt with applied iron-on patch
• Iron
• Lighter fluid or rubbing alcohol (if needed)

Instructions

1. Heat an iron to the highest temperature setting.

2. Iron over the patch until the glue loosens and you can pull the patch off the shirt. This should take between 30 seconds and a full minute.

3. Watch the material carefully with the iron over it. If there are any signs of scorching, quickly move the iron away from that spot.

4. If there is any glue left, carefully rub some lighter fluid or rubbing alcohol onto the spot to remove. Do not re-apply the iron.

5. Wash the shirt thoroughly before wearing.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure your iron is on the highest setting.
