How can you quickly remove a sticker from clothes without leaving any traces?

Removing stickers from clothes is not easy at all. In some cases, it will not be possible to remove the ornament, but this rarely happens.

Typically, stickers are applied to T-shirts made of natural fabric or synthetics, from which, if desired, the design can be removed without traces or negative consequences for the fabric. You just need to choose the best option that will act on the application material, and not the fibers of the fabric.

Universal methods of influencing unnecessary applications

To begin with, you should try one of the gentle methods, but they are only suitable for gluing on the surface of dense, homogeneous fabric:

1. Apply a stream of hot air from a hairdryer to the problem area for several minutes. After the texture of the raw material begins to change, we try to remove it with a dull knife or an old plastic card.
2. The problem area should be soaked in medical alcohol and wait a few minutes, but the sticker should not be allowed to dry completely. Then we place the item of clothing under running water and, using dishwashing detergent, try to remove any remaining ornamentation.
3. Light-colored fabric should first be treated as gently as possible. Any neutral liquid detergent with increased efficiency will work well for this. The surface of the T-shirt must be soaked through with this composition and left for several hours. Then you need to do a traditional wash.
4. Using tape is an affordable and effective method that is not only suitable for delicate fabrics prone to stretching. Just press it to the surface of the sticker, press it well and tear it off. Repeat until all traces of the image are removed.

If these methods do not help or the risk of damage to clothing is too high, you will have to use specialized methods for cleaning the fabric.

Specific processing options for different types of stickers

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 iron-on adhesive from fabric, it must be re-treated at very high temperatures. We lay out a sheet of parchment under the material, and place the second one on the drawing itself. We begin to influence the area with a very bitter iron. We continue this way until we succeed in completely transferring the thermal sticker from clothing to paper. After achieving the desired result, the product should be soaked in warm water with a slight addition of baking soda.

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

• Vinyl ornament. In this case, the previously described method with paper and an iron is used, but after the element has been completely removed, the fabric must be treated with a cotton pad soaked in nail polish remover or a weak vinegar solution.
• Thermal printing design. 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 only in one direction.If the fabric is severely deformed due to such exposure, then simply treat the problem area with alcohol and wash the product by hand with powder.
• Sticker made from special paint or marker. The approach depends on the type of dye. The most commonly used are acetone, thinner or alcohol. To decide on the appropriate product, you need to use each on a small area of ​​the sticker. You won't be able to remove the drawing on the first try. You will have to rub the drawing, wash the product and repeat this several times. If you end up with stains or streaks on the surface of the fabric, you can try removing them with dishwashing detergent. It is applied to problem areas, left for several hours and washed in the usual way. In some cases, window cleaning compositions and shampoos for furniture and cars give good results.
• Sequins and rhinestones set on glue. These elements are easily torn off from the surface of the material, but after this, traces of glue remain on the fabric. To eliminate them, you need to use Dimexide, alcohol or solvent. After processing, wash the product and dry it.

Do not apply a new sticker to the fabric immediately after cleaning. The item will have to be washed and dried several times and only after that you can start decorating. If, even after such preparation, the new ornament does not fit properly, this indicates the presence of glue or cleaning agent residues.
