How do you remove an old iron on?

Published in Iron-On Removal 1 min read

Removing an old iron-on can be done using heat and careful peeling. The YouTube video "How to Remove Iron On / Heat Transfer Vinyl" demonstrates a method using an iron and tweezers.

Here's a breakdown of the process:

  1. Heat the Iron-On: Set your iron to a cotton setting. Quickly apply heat to the iron-on design. Be careful not to scorch the fabric.
  2. Peel with Tweezers: Use tweezers to gently lift an edge of the iron-on.
  3. Roll and Peel: As you heat the vinyl, begin to roll it off the fabric, using the tweezers to assist. The heat loosens the adhesive, making it easier to peel.

Important Considerations:

  • Work quickly to avoid damaging the fabric.
  • Be patient and persistent.
  • If residue remains, you may need to repeat the process or use an adhesive remover specifically designed for fabrics.
