A shirt was laundered with a sticker on it and it left the sticky residue on the shirt which I can not remove. Any suggestions?

Pour some Goo Gone on the spot, let it soak in to soften the adhesive. Dab with a slight rubbing motion with a cloth. Then wash.

Try rubbing anything with an oily substance (mayo,peanut butter,oil) rub in a circular motion and scrape the residue off then wash.

I sat on a piece of taffy! I soaked the jeans in plain water over night. The next day I was able to scrape it off very easily. Then I just put in the washer.

Try the WD-40, or some stuff called "Goo-Gone."

I would suggest trying out the suggested products in an obscure place to make sure they don't remove the colour.

Actually, putting the item in the freezer does wonders. The sticky stuff will freeze and then be easy to peel off the fabric. Works for chewing gum, play dough, glue, silly putty, etc.

I use Goo Gone. It works every time and it's pretty much natural.

Doesn't Goo Gone stain? It is an oil.
