How to Remove Stickers From a Laptop

Removing those pesky little stickers on the surface of a brand new laptop computer can turn into a tricky job. If you want to take the stickers that came on your laptop off, use a little elbow grease to get the sticker residue off the surface.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Hair dryer
• Rag
• Pencil eraser
• Rubbing alcohol
• Fingernail polish remover
• WD-40 or degreaser

1. Turn your laptop on and let it run for awhile to warm the surface up. An alternative to warm up the area is using a hair dryer. Be careful not to get it too hot.
2. Peel as much of the sticker off as you can to start. Rub the residue with a clean cloth. Use circular motions to pick up the rest of the residue.
3. Erase it, literally. Once you've got the stickers off, rub a pencil eraser on the residue until you get a bunch of little crumbs to wipe off.
4. Rub a small amount of rubbing alcohol or finger nail polish remover on the area.
5. Put a small amount of WD-40 on a rag, and wipe it on the sticker residue.
6. Use a cleaning product that is a degreaser, or is especially formulated to remove stickers or adhesive.

Tips & Warnings

• Using alcohol or acetate products can cause damage to the paint job. If your laptop is painted a special color skip this step altogether or try it on a small spot on the bottom of your laptop.
