How to Remove Stickers Easily

Remove stickers easily with vinegar, water and soap.

Stickers are used for anything from arts & crafts and school projects to price tag labels and barcodes. Stickers contain a fairly strong adhesive that allows the sticker to adhere to nearly any surface. You will find it can be a bit time consuming and difficult to remove these stickers without leaving residue behind. To remove the stickers easily, implement the proper cleaning routine that will effectively remove both the stickers and any underlying adhesive.

Things You'll Need

• Microwave
• Cleaning rags
• Vinegar
• Water
• Dish soap

Instructions

1. Microwave a bowl of warm water so it is hot, yet cool enough to handle.

2. Saturate a cleaning rag in the hot vinegar and place over the sticker.

3. Let the hot vinegar sit for 10 minutes, then remove the rag.

4. Peel away the sticker, starting at one side and pulling slowly until the entire sticker is removed.

5. Rub the vinegar rag over the surface to remove any remaining sticker residue.

6. Clean the surface of the product with a damp cloth and a drop of dish detergent to remove the vinegar and sticker residue.
