How to Remove Price Sticker Glue From Plastic Toys
When you peel a price sticker off of a plastic toy, you are often left with the sticky glue adhesive that is not as easily removed. This glue is not only unattractive, but it also still holds its sticky quality, quickly collecting dirt, hair and other elements that need to be removed. By removing the adhesive, you can keep the plastic toy looking its best. Does this Spark an idea?

I've NEVER had a problem removing "sticky glue" from price tags stuck to anything! I use GOO GONE. It has a Citrus base and dissolves the glue base. It comes in a small bottle 4 oz. bottle but a little goes a long way. Takes only a few seconds to work and wipes clean with dry cloth. In some cases, you might wish to use a little soap and water to remove the citrus smell. REMOVES: stickers, grease, gum, tar, crayons and tape on hard surfaces, carpets, upholstery and clothing. Available in most hardware stores in the auto or household cleaner sections. Always check hidden surface to see if your produce color fades before applying where it can be seen. GOOD LUCK.... I've used it for over 20 years. GOO GONE is a registered name and made by Magic American Corporation in the USA. READ directions to see if you have a product surface NOT recommended for application.
