I removed a sticker from a plastic surface, but the remains of it i.e. glue/adhesive parts are left behind and creates quite a mess. Do I use thinner or what commercial product can I use to remove the sticker adhesive completely? Thanks!

Remove Sticker Residue From Plastic

Steps:
1. Remove stickers from glass, plastic or metal with alcohol-based products such as nail polish remover or 91-percent rubbing alcohol. Oil-based products such as cooking oil, mineral oil and baby oil can also be used. Apply the liquid to a clean cloth and saturate the sticker; allow it to sit for a minute or so and peel the sticker from the surface.
2. Remove stickers from cardboard and other paper products with an alcohol-based product or with a commercial solvent. Apply the liquid to the sticker with a cotton swab until the sticker is saturated. Avoid getting too much liquid on the surrounding surface. Peel the sticker away. (Image 2)
3. Remove stickers from wood with furniture polish or any of the products listed in step 1. Again, saturate the sticker with the liquid and allow it to sit for 1 to 2 minutes. Peel the sticker away.
4. Saturate stickers that are on hard plastic surfaces (plastic tubs or food storage containers) with cooking oil. Allow the sticker to soften, then immerse it in water. Wipe the sticker away. (Image 3)
5. Repeat the sticker-removal process if any gummy residue remains after the first treatment. Scrape residue with a paint scraper or razor blade.

Remember when you are removing sticker stuff from plastic soak with good old soap and water. the paint thinner and goop off and that other stuff will melt the plastic.
I know i tried it when i was cleaning new homes and melted a towel bar with it.. It looked like metal to me. but it was plastic and had to be replaced.
so if it is something important to you just use soap and water. let a wet rag lay on it for a while and it should soak right off.
good luck

Rubbing Alcohol

I just ruined a plastic bowl and a pitcher. One with the highly recommended Goo Gone and the other with nail polish remover. I think it's a shame that we when we buy something, we have to buy something else to in order to use it.

Goo Gone, It really works great. You could also try nail polish remover but it might do damage to the plastic.

There is a product on the market called Goo Gone available in many grocery and hardware stores. I am a custodian in an industrial environment and we use it often. It is designed for problems just like yours. Try it.

I use WD-40. Using acetone (nail polish remover) or thinner could damge the plastic surface.
