Use substring-no-properties omitting the bounds:

,----
| substring-no-properties is a built-in function in `C source code'.
| 
| (substring-no-properties STRING &optional FROM TO)
| 
| Return a substring of STRING, without text properties.
| It starts at index FROM and ends before TO.
| TO may be nil or omitted; then the substring runs to the end of STRING.
| If FROM is nil or omitted, the substring starts at the beginning of STRING.
| If FROM or TO is negative, it counts from the end.
| 
| With one argument, just copy STRING without its properties.
