Who Knew?

A few of our articles of clothing or blankets have fallen victim to the washed and dried sticker adhesive. Our kids are the perfect age for this sort of thing. I'm always so bummed b/c I've never been able to get it off. I usually end up throwing the article away, as it seems to be mocking me every-time I look upon it. But Last week, we took one of Aggies softest/nicest blankets to the hearing test, for a variety reasons, all of which were sleep related. Anyway, the blanket fell victim to a hospital sticker that I didn't realized until I was folding and putting it away. After a google search and many good thoughts, this is what worked. It is a pretty fuzzy blanket, one of the softest ( just so the know the material i was working with). Hears what I did: 1. warmed the sticker with a paper towel over it, pressed it with a warm iron. I had to do it several times b/c once the adhesive would cool, it got hard again. 2. scraped the warm adhesive off with my finger nails, I suppose a knife probably would have worked. 3. Once it appeared it was all gone, and I just felt a little bit of residue, I sprayed it with "goo-gone" and used a tooth brush to brush out the rest of the ick. I just got it out of the dryer, from the "re-wash" and I can't even tell what corner the sticker was on! I'm thrilled! Up until now I didn't think there was hope for victims of the washed and dried sticker.
