How do you remove stickers from objects safely to avoid residue/stain?

Question

...and if the residue already exists, how can you remove it?

thanks.

Answer 1

heat gun or hair dryer it melts the glue

Answer 2

if the object is a hard smooth surface, I use a sharp razor blade and a very shallow angle to carefully slide under the sticker. If the sticker is on fabric, you can stem it off with an iron and then send to a dry cleaner to remove any left over adhesive.

Answer 3

Apply hot water on it, then wait for a while for 5 minutes or so. After that try to remove the stickers.

Answer 4

If the stickers are on glass i found the best way is using a razor blade. If its on paint or wood the razor blade may cause scratching. Ive found its best to use a solution you can buy at grocery stores or hardware stores that is used for just that purpose, antiadhesive.

Answer 5

it depends on the surface of the material you are pulling the adhesive off of. rubbing alcohol would work well for most non-porous surfaces. soaking the object in water for a while will also remove the sticker.

Answer 6

Try soaking the object in water overnight if possible and safe to do so.
Else, there is a product called "Goo-B-Gone" which works pretty good. Smells like oranges.

Answer 7

If you have a can of cooking spray, use some of that and let it sit for a minute to soak in then wash in hot soapy water. May have to do it once more and use a plastic scrubby but it will come off.

Answer 8

depending on what you're cleaning, i use WD-40. it stinks, but it really gets residue off from difficult things like stickers. especially from glass.

Answer 9

Goo-gone it removes lots of things I keep it around for everything.
