How To Remove Sticker Residue From Almost Any Surface

How to Remove Sticker Residue

Here is how you can get rid of sticker residue from virtually any surface:

  • Use a blow dryer: For most surfaces, from books to plastics to appliances, a blow dryer on a low heat setting can help. Just direct the air over the sticky surface and use a plastic scraper to dislodge the adhesive gently.
  • Use a warm, soapy cloth: For ceramics, dishware, plastics and metals, once you have used a blow dryer and scraper, you can clean any remaining residue with soap and water.
  • For sturdy surfaces, you can try more intensive methods: For wood, glass, fabric and plastic without delicate paint, you can usually use vodka, vinegar or rubbing alcohol. Test the substance on a small inconspicuous area to make sure it won’t damage the finish and then soak the adhesive with alcohol or vinegar. Wipe it clean after a few minutes.
  • For pots, pans, dishes and plastic goods, try oil: This is best for surfaces where you can easily wipe away or wash away oil. It is effective because oils dissolve adhesive. Just dab mineral oil, baby oil or coconut oil on the adhesive residue and scrape after a minute or two with a plastic scraper. Use a cloth with soap and water to remove the oil.
