How to get melted plastic/vinyl off your shirt?

Question

I just bought this shirt that I really LOVE... I got it on clearance and there are no others in my size. The FIRST time I go to wear it, I ironed it. However, I was on a cruise ship with no board and had to impervise by using my bed. Well my bed had some sort of sham on the bottom of it that melted to the iron and then on to my shirt. Luckily it didn't get too much on it and I have managed to get a lot of it off... However, there are a couple of stubborn spots. Does anyone have any suggestions. I have used eight different stain removers and the way I got most of it off was with tweezers... however the tweezers are starting to ruin the shirt... UGH, please help me... you have no idea how hard it is for me to find shirts I actually like! LOL

Answer 1

Answer 5

You need to somehow heat the plastic to make it pliable, maybe a hair dryer, carefully with an iron or even in the microwave?

Answer 6

Shouldn't have ironed it.

Doesn't matter wearing a creased t shirt, wear it with pride if you really LOVE IT.

Answer 7

Heat put it on, might heat take it off?  You don't want this stuff on your iron, so maybe laying the shirt out so that you can iron the inside of the material, and see if that will force the plastic/vinyl to adhere to the whatever (paper towel, or piece of cotton) you place directly on the gunk.  h**l, try it both ways...iron the paper towel side, then try the inside if that doesn't work.

Umm...not that this would work, but if you see a bottle of Goo Gone anywhere, maybe you can read the label and see if it might be useful.  I think it might stain the shirt though....but it's a thought.

Another idea....Have you thought about maybe steaming it, over your kettle for a few minutes and seeing if that loosens it up enough that you can pick it off?  

Good Luck.
