How do you remove a name tag on t-shirt that has been through washer and dryer?

[PandaBear]

Daughter threw a shirt with name tag into the laundry basket, wife washed then dried it, now the paper is gone but the glue and some paper is stuck on the shirt. Any suggestion? It is a green T so I cannot use chemical that will change color.

Is it like one of those iron tape type thingies? Not a sewn on tag I'm guessing.

 

[AutoMechanic]

If it’s iron on just scrape it off or peel it off. Might be able to use heat to do it.

Try putting ice on it to remove the glue, same as getting gum out of carpets.

It is a paper sticker tag, basically sticker on t shirt that got through dryer and hardened

Put it back in the dryer to heat up and soften it, then immediately try something like wd40 or goo- gone to remove adhesive..

Unless this some sort of very special t-shirt, I would just throw it away and buy another.

But I suppose it is nice to have a project every now and again.

Do you have any goo-gone?

The definitive answer is ^^^^.

It is a new shirt, not too expensive but not something that will be "just throw it away" yet. It can be a back burner project when I have time though.

Donate to Goodwill will resolve the problem

Soak the area with eigher Goo-Gone or WD-40, then hand wash the area with Dawn dish washing soap using an old soft toothbrush and hot water.

Lestoil when it works it’s great
when it doesn’t try goo gone.

Also found rubbing alcohol or better yet acetone will soften the stuff.

Keep it for oil changes and work around the house, I have a few stained Tshirts that work for me.

wd-40 will stain tee-shirt usually.

Goodwill doesnt really want stained clothes..
donating those goods is similar to people who recycle everything even though its not recyclable.

Goo Gone.

It is for a 9 year old kid and I already have a lot of rags

I would try dry ice. Get it cold and see if it will crack and come off.
