Oooo, what to do when you buy a new book or CD, you peel off a sticker… and it leaves behind that annoying sticky glop? You try rubbing it off and end up making it dirty--and now the front of your book looks as if it rolled in the dirt. Here’s a great tip from my friend Lynne to remove that annoying residue safely…

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • peanut butter
  • paper towel
  • dish washing liquid

Step1
Get out the peanut butter.
Step2
Put a small dab of it on a paper towel.
Step3
Rub the peanut butter on the sticky residue too loosen it from your book or other item that’s suffering.
Step4
Take a clean part of the paper towel and wipe the residue off—the oil in the peanut butter will have magically loosened up the residue.
Step5
Take a tiny, tiny dab of dish washing liquid that advertises it can cut grease and put it on another clean part of the paper towel.
Step6
Wipe off the faint traces of peanut butter with the dish washing liquid.
Step7
Read your enthralling book or listen to your soulful CD.

on 12/8/2007 Worked extremely well. Fast and easy, and no damage whatsoever to my DVD cases or the glossy dust jacket on my book. I'm really impressed!
