How to Remove Iron-On Labels

Iron-on labels are an easy way to make a statement, spruce up a T-shirt or organize your family's clothing. While they're designed to withstand hundreds of washings, with enough heat, you may be able to remove your iron-on labels.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Ironing board
• Iron
• Cloth or parchment paper

1. Place the garment with the iron-on label on an ironing board, with the label facing up. Turn your iron on to the highest setting.

2. Place either a thin piece of cloth or parchment paper over the label.

3. Apply heat to the cloth or parchment paper over the iron-on label for 10 to 15 seconds.

4. Carefully remove the cloth or parchment paper and immediately pull the corner of the label. The label will be hot; consider using a knife to slowly peel back the label.

5. As the label cools, stop peeling and repeat Steps 2, 3 and 4.

Tips & Warnings

• If you don't have an iron, consider using a heat gun.
• There may be some leftover residue or fading where the iron-on label was.
