Laundry Help! - Ithaca,NY

Goop off. You can get it at Home Depot or Lowes.

Try a little "Goo Gone" and then rewash. Good luck!

This is going to sound absolutely nuts, but try rubbing some peanut butter onto the areas where the adhesive is stuck on there. Peanut butter is great for taking off adhesive from anything. It also works to get adhesive marks off of plastic or glass, from the price stickers, and to get gum out of your child's or pet's hair! LOL

After leaving the peanut butter on the area for about 15 minutes, you should be able to remove the adhesive, either with an old toothbrush, or by picking the pieces off with your fingers.

Once the adhesive is removed, there will probably be a grease stain on the clothes. Rinse the spots well with cold water, and then apply some Dawn Dish Detergent, and work it into the spot by using an old toothbrush (not the same one). Leave the Dawn sit on the stain for about 15 minutes after working it in, and then launder the pieces of clothing again, in cold water.

Dawn Dish Detergent will remove any type of grease stain, be it from the Peanut Butter, cooking oil, or even grease that someone gets on their clothes from working on a car. My son uses it all the time to remove mechanics grease from his clothing, and it works great!

Hopefully, if you follow these two steps, the ruined pieces of clothing will look like new!

Hope this information helps!

Try Goo Gone. You can get it at most stores. I am pretty sure Target and walmart sell it. I have gotten gum out of clothes with it. Good luck!

This must be the time of year for laundry problems - I've seen quite a few in the last couple weeks. :/

Try M30. I use it on most things - even inside the dryer to remove gum. I can usually find it at dollar stores.

I put it on pretty thick, then leave it for a day or so, then wash and stains are gone.

Good luck
