How can I quickly remove a sticker from clothes without a trace?

Label manufacturers have tried their best, having developed elements that are characterized by durability of use, but this quality also has a negative side. Fashion and tastes change, so one day there is a desire to remove the sticker from the clothes, and to do this is not easy. In some cases, removing the ornament will not work, but this rarely happens.

Typically, stickers are applied to t-shirts made of natural fabric or synthetics, from which, if desired, you can reduce the pattern without traces and negative consequences for the fabric. It is only necessary to choose the best option that will act on the material of the application, and not the fiber of matter.

Universal techniques for influencing unnecessary applications

To begin with, it is worth trying one of the gentle methods, but they are only suitable for stickers on the surface of a dense uniform fabric:

1. For a few minutes, we act on the problem area with a stream of hot air from a hairdryer. After the texture of the raw materials begins to change, we try to remove it with a blunt knife or an old plastic card.
2. The problem area needs to be soaked with medical alcohol and wait a few minutes, but the sticker must not be allowed to completely dry. Then we place the garment under a stream of water and with the help of dishwashing detergent we try to remove the remains of the ornament.
3. Light fabric first you need to try to process in the most gentle mode. Any neutral liquid detergent with increased effectiveness is well suited for this. The surface of the T-shirt must be thoroughly saturated with this compound and left for several hours. Then you need to carry out traditional washing.
4. The use of adhesive tape is an affordable and effective method that is not suitable only for delicate, prone to stretching fabric. Just press it to the surface of the sticker, crush it well and tear it off. Repeat until you can remove all traces of the image.

If these methods do not help or the risk of damage to clothes is too high, it will be necessary to apply specialized methods of cleaning the fabric.

Specific processing options for various types of labels

If you know exactly what the ornament is made of in a particular case, this greatly simplifies the process of removing the sticker:

• To remove the thermal sticker from the fabric, it is necessary to re-treat it with a very high temperature. Lay out a sheet of parchment under the material, put the second on the drawing itself. We begin to work on the zone with a very hot iron. We act until we succeed in completely transferring the thermal sticker from clothes to paper. After achieving the desired result, the product must be soaked in warm water with a slight addition of baking soda.

Tip: There is an opportunity to significantly increase the effectiveness of this approach. To do this, you need to take an iron with the effect of supplying steam or pre-moisten the material.

• Vinyl ornament. In this case, the previously described method with paper and iron is used, but after the element can be completely removed, the fabric must be treated with a cotton pad moistened with nail polish remover or a weak vinegar solution.
• Thermal print. In this case, ethyl alcohol will help. We spread the product on a dense horizontal surface, take a sponge soaked in alcohol. We begin to remove the drawing, performing movements in only one direction. If the fabric is strongly deformed from such an impact, then we simply treat the problem area with alcohol and wash the product manually with powder.
• Sticker made of special paint or marker. The approach depends on the type of dye. Most often, acetone, solvent or alcohol is used.To determine the appropriate tool, you need to use each on a small area of ​​the sticker. From the first approach, you cannot delete the drawing. You will have to rub the picture, wash the product and repeat this several times. If eventually stains or stains remain on the fabric surface, you can try removing them with a dishwashing detergent. It is applied to problem areas, left for several hours and the thing is washed in the usual way. In some cases, compositions for washing windows, shampoos for furniture and cars give a good result.
• Sequins and rhinestones planted on glue. These elements easily come off the surface of matter, but after that traces of glue remain on the fabric. To eliminate them, you need to use Dimexide, alcohol or solvent. After processing, we wash the product and dry it.

Do not immediately apply a new sticker to the fabric immediately after cleaning. The thing will have to be washed, dried several times, and only after that you can proceed to design. If, even after such preparation, the new ornament does not lie down as it should, this indicates the presence of residual glue or cleaning products.
