Sticker residue


Question Posted Tuesday October 31 2006, 5:54 am

I'm not sure if residue is the right word but I took a sticker off a plastic thing of mine and the stickeyness of the sticker refuses to come off. There's no paper on it, just the stickyness and I can't figure out how to get it off. It keeps getting things stuck to it and making it look bad. It's a little cigar case thing that one of my friends gave to me. It's all plastic so I can't burn the stickyness off. Any ideas on how I can get it off?

Hey,

Use a warm wash cloth and dish washing liq. it takes a little work, but will not damage your plastic case...

I'd try rinsing it under some water.

Ach, I use to have this problem all the time! I hate it whenever this happens to everything, it makes whatever thing you have look ugly.

Anyways, I went to my mom about this one time and she gave me some rubbing alcohol, and sometimes it takes a bit of rubbing, but it'll come off ( or you just peel it off with your nails ).

:)

I hope I helped.

rubbing alcohol. just make sure that it wont fade the color of the plasctic first, but it works every time.

The best thing to use for all those sticky residue messes left by stickers/packaging is vegtable oil! No other oil works as well, so buy a little thing of the veggie oil and dab it on and scrub that gunk free!

I hate it when that happens. I usually get a wet scrubbing sponge (be careful because it MIGHT scratch the surface of your cigar case) and gently rub it. The wetter it becomes, the less sticky it will be and then you'll just be able to pull/scratch the 'residue' away. :)
