DS2 loves stickers. He had one from the dr.'s office that he had put on his MB shirt and apparently some of the adhesive came off and stuff to the screen print part of the shirt. I cannot get it off. Now it has fuzz or something else stuck to it and it just won't budge. Any suggestions?

Try Goo be Gone--squirt some on the fabric and rub gently with a paper towel and butter knife, while wearing gloves.

Or peanut butter! Someone gave that tip here earlier in the year. I didn't believe it would work, but it totally did. And no oily residue.

Interesting....DS has a peanut allergy (go figure!) but I wonder if soy butter would work.

I ended up using WD40 on a shirt that had gone through the washer/dryer a couple of times with sticker residue. It worked perfectly! I'd already tried Dawn and a couple of other things that I found through Google.

Try a strong tape or packing tape? Put it over the sticky residue and rub it in with your nail and pull off the tape. The tape "should" stick to the sticky residue

I use duct tape or packing tape. Pit sticky against sticky, LOL, may the stickiest win.

I wish I'd read that three days ago when I was dealing with that on DD2's Girl Scout vest.

Goo Be Gone has worked great on sticker residue for me!
