How to Remove Price Tag Glue

You may love the reduced price on items, but the multiple sales tag removal can be a daunting task. Price tag glue doesn't have to be a pain to remove. There is a simple and cost-friendly method for removing those tags.

Things You'll Need

• 3 paper towels
• ½ tsp. of dish washing soap
• Coffee cup of cold water

Instructions

Prep Price Tag Removal

1. Fill one coffee cup with cold water. Dip one paper towel into the coffee cup. Remove towel, and shake off excess water.

2. Rub the towel on the price tag. Make sure to wet just the tag, and not soak the product.

3. Let the water soak into the price tag for at least 2 minutes.

4. With your fingernail, slowly start pulling back the price tag. You will see the top layer of the tag coming off and some residue will remain.

Price Tag Residue Removal

1. Once the price tag is gone, pour ½ tsp. of dish washing soap onto the tag residue. Let set for at least 3 minutes.

2. Wet the second paper towel. Shake off the excess water. Wipe off soap residue using one end of the towel. Rub gently until all residue is gone.

3. Once residue is gone, use the other end of the wet towel to make sure soap is completely washed away.

4. Dry surface with third paper towel. Let product dry before using.

Tips & Warnings

• If product is paper-based (like a cardboard box), don't use too much water on the surface. Use just enough water to remove the price tag. This method of tag and residue removal is safe for all products.

• Make sure all soap is removed before using or putting the product away.
