Washed new t-shirt with sticky label on

jackieblack

Good morning all
Like an idiot, I washed a new t-shirt and only afterwards realised there was a sticky label that I’d missed 🤦🏻‍♀️

Any way of rescuing this please? (My mum suggested trying white spirit but I’m worried about it ruining the colour)

Hi,

could try a piece of kitchen roll and hot iron.

Thank you so much, I tried this and it’s almost completely removed the sticky patch. It did take quite a long time and I ran out of time to finish it completely today but I’ll have another try to get the last bit out when I have some more time.
(Apologies for the huge photos, I don’t know how to make them smaller)

Hi,

glad it helped.

You could use a bit of sellotape or sticky tape to lift those wee bobbles, wrap around a couple of fingers and just kinda dab at them.

Thanks, I’m familiar with that technique thanks to living with two cats 😁
The photo doesn’t show it very well but there is mainly just a darker looking stripe where the sticky was now. Hopefully that’ll come out with another wash.
