"Hi, my name is Rachel Yatuzis and I'm going to show you how to remove stickers. First and foremost you want to try to get the sticker off with your fingers, whether it be a toy, a dish, you know, whatever it is. Obviously the first thing you do is try to peel it off. A lot of times what you end up with is this sticky residue that collects dirt and dust and anything else that it can grab on to. In that case what you want to do is simply grab some rubbing alcohol, put it on a napkin or a paper towel, apply it to the sticky residue and, you'll need to do that really quick. You want to apply it to the sticky residue, let it sit until it drys and that will make the sticker a little more brittle and it'll be easy to work off with your fingers that way. So you would just let sit you know and then remove it with your fingers. That will work on any object and I am Rachel Yatuzis and that is how you remove a sticker."
