Super sticky sticker stuff…..
Say that 5 times really fast.
One of the more common questions we get is how to remove sticker residue. Often
glassware comes with price tags that when you remove the sticker, the sticky
part remains. Not very convenient when you are pulling out the 10th wine glass
from the cabinet when you have a dinner party only to realize that the sticker
has yet to be removed. One the easiest solutions are to use WD-40 it breaks down
the sticker residue safely in most cases. It will leave an oily residue which is
easily cleaned using soap and water. You can also use a solvent like nail polish
remover, but solvents can be more harmful on certain surfaces. To remove sticky
residue from something like clothes, use dry cleaning fluid, found in the
laundry section of some department stores or your local janitorial supply store.
Or you can just get it cleaned at the cleaners. Soap and water or detergent
doesn’t break down the sticky residue very well.
If you have stickers on glass windows what ever you do, DO NOT use something
abrasive like steel wool or an sos pad, this can and will scratch some glass.
You are far better off buying a flat razor which is meant for the job. Found at
your local hardware store. Spray some water or Windex on the surface and scrape
off the sticky residue with the flat razor. Use caution the handle can get
slippery. I find using water or Windex helps the razor from gumming up too
quickly with the sticky stuff and you can go longer before replacing blades.
