I searched on how to remove no sew tape residue from clothing. The easiest solution was the paper towel remedy. Just lay the paper towel over the residue and iron over it.
This worked a treat for me. Change the paper towel often and use a single or double thickness only. My DH used duct tape to hem our daughter's school skirt! So lots of very sticky residue left on the fabric. Took about half an hour of ironing to remove it.
How do I remove ironed on blackout tape from Victoria Secret sport leggings?
Since this has been ironed on it is probably even more intense heat than placing it in the dryer.
You may have some success using Goo Gone but since this is not a natural fiber it will be difficult but be sure to test an unseen area before trying anything or you may ruin the leggings.
Some people also use rubbing alcohol but do so carefully and read suggestions from other sites.
You may need to take them to a dry cleaners.

I fear this one is going to be impossible to do. After ironing on the blackout tape it fuses to the material and it is basically impossible to remove with much success. They do sell chemical solvents that can be used to remove ironed on decals and things from clothes. I would be careful when using this one. It could destroy your leggings. If you go this way you will need the product and a spray bottle. Turn the garment inside out and spray the back side with the product.
Take a lightweight washcloth, saturate with very hot water, wring out as much water as possible and place under the blackout tape. The goal is to warm up the tape residue but not get the garment wet. While the tape residue is warming, mix equal parts baking soda and vegetable oil. Once the tape residue area is very warm, spread the mixture over the residue. After 5 minutes, start rubbing the mixture over the residue to see if it is breaking up, if not, let it sit for another 5 minutes. If the residue is not lifting, repeat with the hot washcloth but this time heat up the oil and baking soda (not too hot) and repeat the steps above. If it is still not budging, add more of the warmed mixture, make yourself a cocktail, and let leggings soak overnight.
Bam! Now you know my secret.
I stored a large white inside pillow of a Crate and Barrel slip cover couch in my closet for a few weeks. When I went to put the pillow inside it's pillow slip cover, I noticed the pillow was very sticky in a four by two inch spot.
I can't take the sheet off of the stuffing. So how am I supposed to clean the sticky stuff off of the pillow? Help, please, so I can put the couch back together.Lightly moisten a cloth with rubbing alcohol and hold it on the residue for a couple minutes, then wipe with a clean wet cloth, then a dry one.
How do I remove adhesive residue remaining on fabric?
I used iron-on tape to put a piece of fabric on another piece of fabric. I put it on wanksrong and had to take it off. The fabric came off, but the glue stayed on. I can't get the glue off. Hope you can help.

I recently purchased a skirt but the manufacturer forgot to remove some masking tape around the hem. Now there is a slight sticky residue, but even worse, the fabric is discolored. I have tried soaking and washing with Woolite, but to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove the stain? Thanks!
There should be a tag inside the garment, perhaps down the seam somewhere to tell you it's fabric content. If washable, I'd definitely use WD-40, letting
Thank you very much Lynda... I will try that!

How do I remove tape residue from a sport shirt? The paper towel/iron method did not remove the stickiness. What else can I do?
By Marie
I once dropped a towel on a bug glue trap. I used baby oil to make the adhesive gummy enough to ball up, then used rubbing alcohol to clear up the oily-ness. That was just a towel and not a shirt I had to wear...
My daughter put duck tape around the headrest in my car. I am trying to figure out how to take off the tape residue?
By Mirna S.
Peanut butter or mayonnaise often works. If those don't, you can get some Goo Gone and that will work. Good luck!
WD-40 might work.
How do you get sticky tape off of nylon shorts?
By Tammy
If you are sure it is nylon, try some lacquer thinners. First test on a spot that cannot be seen.
Mayonnaise, ice & a scraper (paint). Or Ask Helowise, Good Housekeeping.com Good Luck. : )
