You\u2019ll find some top tips below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Remove_Printed_Labels_From_T-Shirts\"><\/span>How To Remove Printed Labels From T-Shirts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many different methods that you can use for trying to remove the printing from a t-shirt, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Nail polish remover<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cold water (if the ink is still wet)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sugar scrub<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An iron<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fading the design<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"how to remove rubber print from t shirt at home\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k35GhgN1HAo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You should make sure that you don\u2019t ever put any bleach on the shirt, as this will strip all of the colors out of it. It will likely remove the printing, but it will also remove the main dye of the shirt. It may even destroy the fabric if you use strong bleach; it could end up in holes and unwearable, so bleach should be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other options may also damage the fabric in some circumstances, so you should only use them if you are really determined to get the dye out and prepared for the shirt to be spoiled. In general, they should work without damaging the fabric, but be aware of this possibility, just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also check the heat tolerance of the shirt before you put something like iron on it, as some shirts will not tolerate being ironed, and will shrink or warp. Others should cope well with the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Use Nail Polish Remover<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Can you Remove vinyl off a T-shirt using Acetone?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WVeGDitPqKo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nail polish remover is by far the most popular and commonly used trick for getting the printed label out of a shirt, and it is also something that many households will have access to. If you don\u2019t have any, you can purchase them cheaply at many different stores, so this is a great option if you\u2019re trying to get the label out of a shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You will need:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Cotton swabs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nail polish remover<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Soak a cotton ball in some nail polish remover.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dab the cotton ball against a part of the fabric that is not very obvious, and then inspect the area for damage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If no damage occurs, rub the cotton ball across the design, covering all areas of it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allow it to sit for a few minutes, and then gently use your fingernail to lift the edge of the design.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peel off as much of the design as you can. Dab on a little more nail varnish remover if necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wash the shirt.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t use this method on a shirt that is more than 50 percent polyester, as it will melt the fabric and cause too much damage. It should work well on cotton or natural fabric but test it first if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Use Cold Water<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Use-Cold-Water.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1990\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Use-Cold-Water.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Use-Cold-Water-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Use-Cold-Water-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mollymaid.com\/practically-spotless\/2016\/july\/stain-treatment-101-hot-or-cold-water-\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">mollymaid.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If your design is still wet because you\u2019re making the shirt yourself, this is the best option. As soon as you realize that you have made an error in the design, rinse the shirt with cold water, preferably in your washing machine if it has a cold rinse option. If not, wash the shirt by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The water should help to lift the ink out of the fabric, but make sure that you use cold. Heat will cause the ink to set and prevent you from getting it out easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Use Sugar Scrub<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-6634660-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1968\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-6634660-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-6634660-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-6634660-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-6634660-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-6634660.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/brown-sugar-body-scrub-6634660\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pexels.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>A good alternative if you can\u2019t use nail varnish remover and the ink has set is sugar scrub. It tends to be most effective with new designs, but it will sometimes work with ones that are more thoroughly set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You will need:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A tablespoon of sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A soft cloth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Spread your t-shirt out on a flat surface.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sprinkle the sugar across the design.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take your cloth and use it to rub the sugar into the design, working gently but firmly to try to shift the ink.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wash the item in cold water and see if you have got the design out. If necessary, repeat the process to take out any remaining ink.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Use An Iron<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"How to Remove Printing on Clothing With Iron At Home\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bqN5pjti9gw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This works well on items of clothing that have a heat transferred design, rather than for <a href=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/how-to-remove-screen-printing-from-a-t-shirt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">screen printing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You will need:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>An iron<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An iron-safe surface<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 spare towels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A scraper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Place your t-shirt on a flat surface with a towel inside to protect the fabric.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lightly wet the second towel and place it on top of the design.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Iron the design through the towel, pressing gently.

You can also use your fingers and your nails. Keep scratching and scraping until the design stops coming off easily.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat the process, ironing over a wet towel and then lifting the towel off and scraping at the design until it is all gone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Do make sure that you check the heat tolerance of your t-shirt before you put an iron on it. Even with the protection of the towels, a t-shirt might be damaged by an iron that is too hot, and you don&#8217;t want to melt the fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Removing printed labels from clothes can be a challenge, but it\u2019s perfectly possible if you use the right method.
