505 spray. Help
I used 505 spray to hold polyester shirt to stabilizer. I've used this for years. All was good, no spots, but needed to rinse off washable stabilizer, of course dried them, 5 of them, now a small spot to 3 spots show up on 3 of them. I have tried Shout, another spot remover, and now have Dawn on them, I think they are getting lighter. Worse of all the logo was embroidered on $70 shirts for someone else. I really need help

I found this website that recommends using 90% rubbing alcohol.
http://embtreasures.com/blog/505-spray-adhesive-stains/ If the rubbing alcohol doesn't work, she recommends using a citrus degreaser. Haven't had this particular stain, but my go-to is Grandma's Stain Remover: https://www.amazon.com/Grandmas-Secr...dp/B0021JD2S0/ My dh tried multiple things to get grease out of a pair of white tennis shoes, including the washing machine. Nothing he did worked. I rubbed this stuff in, let it set, then washed the shoes in the machine and they came out like new. I see they now have a laundry spray version. Think I will get that as it would come in handy for larger stains. Avoid using hydrogen peroxide, as it can fade colors and also weakens the fabric fibers. Edit: Another thing that I think is safe to try is nail polish remover. |
years ago i did that to a poly shirt of my husbands with those toss in fabric softeners in the dryer. Ivory soap got them out. rub on and soak and wash.

I have been using Dawn a couple of times, seem to be getting lighter. I have just been rinsing out by hand, don' t if it would help to do a regular wash. What do you think of adding Oxyclean to wash. I use it all the time for my husbands dirty jeans, but it's the polyester that worries me. This has not been a good day.
Wondering if I should soak in Dawn and water overnight? Or just Dawn. Ordered Grandmas stain remover but won't get for a couple of days. Still looking for suggestions |
This has been moved from "Main". I still need help

My best luck with stains or grease spots has been to take a bar of ordinary soap, wet the corner and rub the soap into the spot. Let sit, wash/rinse, (don't dry), repeat as necessary. It's ok if it sits and the soap dries in, just wash it and repeat as necessary. I've gotten ink out of a ball cap, grease out of work shirts, and multiple other things out. Exposing to sunlight may help, it works for mustard stains.

You said you used Shout......have you tried Zout. I find it works better.
|
Just a thought, you might try shampoo

Acetone will take out 505. Try a little on a seam allowance first.
