Place a clean, dry cloth over the iron-on patch. Set your iron to the highest heat setting suitable for the fabric and press it firmly over the patch for 10-15 seconds. The heat will help loosen the adhesive.
2. **Peel Off the Patch:**
Carefully peel off the patch while it's still warm. Start from one corner and slowly work your way across the patch. If the patch doesn't peel off easily, repeat the heating process to soften the adhesive further.
3. **Use Adhesive Remover (Optional):**
If there is any residue left behind after removing the patch, you can use a commercial adhesive remover or rubbing alcohol to dissolve it. Apply a small amount of remover to a clean cloth and gently rub the residue until it comes off.
4. **Wash the Fabric:**
Once the patch and adhesive residue have been removed, launder the fabric as usual to remove any remaining traces of adhesive and restore its appearance.
5. **Repeat if Necessary:**
For stubborn patches or adhesive residue, you may need to repeat the removal process multiple times until the fabric is clean.
It's essential to exercise caution when using heat to remove iron-on patches, especially on delicate fabrics. Always test a small, inconspicuous area of the fabric first to ensure that it can withstand the heat without damage. Additionally, be patient and gentle during the removal process to avoid damaging the fabric.
