If you don’t have an ironing board, lay a thin towel out on a flat, heat-proof surface like a kitchen island to act as a makeshift ironing board. You can also heat up the fabric in the dryer for a few minutes if the garment’s care label allows it.
Set the iron to roughly 300 °F (149 °C). Move the iron around in circular movements on the parchment paper to make sure the clothing and label don’t burn.
You can also use your fingers to pull the label off, but be careful not to burn yourself. A wire or lint brush may also help the label come off.
Vinyl letter removing solvent comes in the form of a liquid in a bottle.
When you use the solvent, work in a well-ventilated area due to the chemical smell.
Purchase cotton swabs at your local drugstore or big box store.
The entire label area should be covered with the solvent.
If the label is still sticking to the clothing, dab another layer of solvent onto the label to saturate it more.
Putting the clothing in the freezer will make the glue harden so that it’s easier to pull off. Consider setting a timer so you know how long the clothing has been in the freezer.
Dry the clothing normally once it’s washed.
A popular product that works well on label residue is Goo Gone.
