There's a sticky subtance on my television set (like tape that has been removed) what can I use to remove it?

Question

I've tried the produce " Goo Gone" ,it lifted it some , but mostly I just softed it.

Answer 1

My mother always used baby oil to lift stickiness out of anything that wasn't porous. Put a good amount on a cloth or paper towel and scrub the sticky spot. It should come right up. Just make sure to wipe up the baby oil afterward.

Answer 2

Alcohol works great, like rubbing alcohol. But of course, I don't know where on the TV the sticky stuff is at so consider the location before you start dabbing alcohol all over it. It will take a little bit of work and time, but it will come off.

Answer 3

Goo Gone

Answer 4

If it's on the glass part, you can be more aggressive with your cleaning but if it's on the plastic parts, test in an unnoticeable spot first.

WD-40 works well. You might buy a can of carb cleaner in an auto parts store, spray that on a rag and wipe it on the screen. But with the latter, it's hard on paint, carpet and skin.

Answer 5

The best thing to use is good old WD-40. It's fish oil based and will easily clean the sticky off your set.

Answer 6

Use an alcohol based cleaner. It will remove the stickiness

Answer 7
