how do I get rid of label adhesive from a new shower wall?

Answer 1

goo gone works best, it is designed for adhesive removal without damaging delicate surfaces. Don't use fingernail polish remover, it is not designed to do that job, may harm surfaces.

Fingernail polish=acetate, i.e. paint remover.

OK?

Answer 2

rub it with olive oil and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Then wash it off. If that does not work, go to Walmart and buy goo be gone label remover.

Answer 3

Use lighter fluid and a soft clean cloth. apply fluid directly on the sticky spot, leave set for a minute and wipe gently until it is removed. You might have to do this repeatedly until it is removed.
good luck in getting out of your sticky situation!!

Answer 4

Avon Skin So Soft--takes off most labels.

Answer 5

Lighter fluid also works to take it off, if you have any.
