Anybody have any suggestions on how to get the sticky stuff from the back of some descriptive sticker off of a pair of jeans? Why do the manufacturers put those darn things on clothing in the first place :x . I have a 2 inch diameter gooey spot on the granddaughter's jeans. They have not been washed yet, I noticed it right away! Thank goodness! Someone thought WD-40, but won't that leave an oil stain? They're really cute jeans and I hate returning stuff :D Thanks for your ideas. Hope your Christmas was merry

I would not use the WD-40 as it will leave a stain.
Do you have any orange oil of any kind or Goo Gone? That works like a charm.
Try an ice cube rubbing it over the spot . It will harden it and may come off.
If all else fails, Ask Heloise on her website.

I read that quite a few people use goo gone on fiber products (carpet and clothing). They say it works like a charm. Another method that is mentioned is to put a paper towel over the spot and a towel over that, then try to iron the glue off.

The Goo Gone I buy is Orange oil based and it washes out of clothes really nicely :D:D:D It is not harsh and it works REALLY well at getting gum out of hair too :wink: I use it on skin to take off bandaid marks, when kids have got into permanent markers all over their skin... :roll:
