Sticky stuff after taking off a price tag

Does anyone know how to clean the sticky stuff which gets left behind after you take off a price tag? Not something you can directly wash, but like a pencil case. Any ideas?

Re: Sticky stuff after taking off a price tag

Take a piece of cloth/cotton and dampen it with soap-hot water mixture. Clean the residue with that.

If that doesn't work, use hand sanitizer or vegetable oil in place of soap mixture.

I don’t know how this sounds but growing up us kids used mayonnaise to scratch off stickers. Worked extremely well.

I use alcohol swabs for this purpose

Goo Gone is the best!

I use oil.

Sprinkle a lot of talcum powder and leave it overnight. Next morning just remove it with cotton dipped in nail polish remover. Works well for clothes too if they dont run colours :slight_smile:

Gaia do let us know which method did u use? And did it come off easily?

Re: Sticky stuff after taking off a price tag

Thank you everyone! Finally did my experiment!

I tried 4 different things mentioned here and some worked like a charm, while others not so much.


In order of best results!

Oil: Without a question, works 100%! I seriously wasn’t expecting it, but WOW! Within seconds the glue is gone, and the surface is clean.

Hot water + soap: Next best would be this simple combo. Though, didn’t do the BEST job, but not bad.

Nail polish remover: If you scrub really hard, it would work, but than you don’t want to damage the product either.

Mayo: This was kind of a fail for me. It was more messy than anything else.
