How can Remove Iron On Patches?

When removing iron on patches, different patch types and clothing materials require different methods. Here are several options to choose from:

Take advantage of the heating effect of an electric iron: You can use an electric iron, especially from the wrong side of the iron on patch, to speed up the removal of the patch.

Soften with the help of a hair dryer: Turn the hair dryer to hot mode and blow heat directly onto the iron on patch. After it softens, use a small file or tape to gently peel it off.

Use a hot water bottle to simulate ironing: If you don’t have an electric iron, you can try rolling a bottle filled with hot water back and forth over the iron on patch to achieve an ironing-like effect.

Apply chemical solvents: Apply an appropriate amount of alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or baking soda solution to the iron on patch and wipe it with a clean cloth to dissolve and remove the patch's adhesive.

Use nail polish remover or turpentine: For certain iron on patches, nail polish remover or turpentine may have a dissolving effect to help remove the patch.

Use ice cubes to treat scorch marks: If the temperature of the iron is too high and causes scorch marks on the clothes, you can soak the clothes in water with ice cubes to reduce the scorch marks.

Mix a cleaning solution: Mix ammonia, hydrogen peroxide and laundry detergent, apply to the patch, wait a few minutes, and then wash thoroughly.

Utilize natural cleaners: Lemon juice and white vinegar work well on certain stains, so try using them to remove iron on patch residue.

Use bleach with caution: If all else fails, consider using bleach, but be careful to avoid unnecessary damage to your clothing.

Before adopting any method, it is recommended to test it in an inconspicuous location to ensure that there will be no adverse effects on the clothing.
