What is the best way to remove the residue of paper stickers from electronic components?

Question

The price stickers leave goo on everything.

Answer 1

Goo B Gone can be found at Lowe's or Home Depot. If you spray it on a clean dry rag and rub the sticker residue it will come right off.

Answer 2

I use orange essential oil. it is a basic component of most orange smelling cleaners. put a drop or two on a cotton ball, and lightly rub over the spot. works great, but will leave an oily film. After the goo is removed, wipe up the remaining oil with Windex sprayed on a paper towel. This works on just about everything, and smells great too. It will even make wood furniture shine, as it removes built up furniture polish. and the oil is good for the wood.

Answer 3

Dab a little WD 40 on a paper towel and rub. Works like a charm. Takes the sticky stuff off anything. I use it to remove stickers off my car windows and price tag goo off of electronics...

Answer 4

Using a small eraser, like that on the back of a pencill, rub at the residue like you are erasing it. It should come up if you have patience. It beats driving to the store for Goo b Gone

Answer 5

There are lots of residue removers available at home stores, but before purchasing them why not try alcohol. Use alcohol pads or a paper towel dipped in some rubbing alcohol. It's the least expensive way and I've used it many times to remove "sticky" messes.

Answer 6

There is a product called Sticker Shock...you can get it from an auto store like autozone....will remove sticky stuff in a flash...works great on bumperstickers and tape residue
