Removing iron-on name labels

Sporticus

Hi

just wondering if anyone has any idea how to remove kids iron-on name labels from school clothes? My daughter has outgrown a load of uniform and I wanted to pass it onto my niece (don't think her little brother will take too kindly to having to wear a pinafore dress on his first day at school ). Before I passed the clothes on I wanted to take the labels out but they are doing such a good job of staying put that I can't get them off! Help!!

TIA

this has worked with some of my Kid's clothing. Try ironing it and when it is warm ease up a corner and pull fairly hard. Some will not come off by any means, I tried to get some industrial ones off my Dad's clothing so that some else could use them and nothing would remove them.You could always iron the new ones over the top.

Buy the Asda ones - they come off after 2 washes....

I have same problem - think the steam trick or even when they are damp might do the trick. ( these ones were from M&S)
