Q. How Do You Remove Hygiene Sticker Glue From A Swimsuit?
A. Removing the sticky glue left behind by the hygiene sticker from new swimwear is not the best way to start your holiday. So here are a few tips and tricks on how to remove this sticky gum so your bathing suit bottoms feel clean and comfortable.
1. First choose a removal agent. Some of the more popular choices are:
Eucalyptus oil
Tea tree oil,
Vinegar
Rubbing alcohol
Mineral oil, non-acetone
Perfume, non-acetone
2. Apply the removal agent to a clean cloth or cotton ball and rub the affected area gently.
3. Gentle wiping almost always removes the residual glue.
4. Once the sticky glue has been removed hand wash your item in luke warm water using a soft laundry detergent or hand soap.
I hope this was helpful and would love your feedback and to find out what other removal agents people have used good or bad!

I used rubbing alcohol, worked great! Thank you for the tip!
I’m glad my post has been helpful
Thank you! I accidentally washed my new swimsuit without removing the crotch tape! After washing I ripped it off and it left a sticky residue. I used the tea tree oil and cotton pad and gently rubbed the tape off…worked perfectly!
That’s great to hear! Thanks for sharing!
