I place duck tape over the residue and press it down firmly with my hand or credit card. When you pull it off the old adhesive residue sticks to the duck tape, wa la!

Those stickers can be so annoying no matter what they put them on.

What about just really hot water with soap (dawn) and scrup with a toothbrush? I always have desolve it on hand but have never used it on fabric and it does have a lingering odor but I think water and soap would be the best to try first.

I might have have to try this UnDo. I really don't care for goo gone. I did notice on Walmart link it says extremely flammable and harmful or fatal if swallowed. I suppose that's not surprising though it is probably similar to chemicals they use in dry cleaning.

I prefer to use peanut butter on stickers, that being said, I always use it on dishes/hard items. I let it set for a couple hours and then the sticker comes right off.

If you work from the back side of the fabric, like Jordan suggests using hot water with soap (dawn) and scrub with a toothbrush. That way you would not be pushing anything 'into' the fibers.

I've used Goo-Gone for about 50 years. Love it. Sure it smells; so does gasoline, which does the same thing. They all wash out with soap.
I would never try an iron on it. That would just push the stuff more into the fabric. It's not like wax.

I think Undo would work very well. I worked in a library and we used it to remove stickers off even fragile pages of donated books. Always dried clear with no evidence of sticker or Undo. Worked there 17 years and never saw any problems with it.
