I recently bought a couple of acrylic drawers from Furniture Source in SM Mega mall. Just a little trivia: I am into acrylic containers and I love acrylic organizers. Anyway, let's go back to business, peeling off sticker / adhesive tags, labels can leave sticky residue on the surfaces. (which is kinda eeeky).
Once you peel off the sticker it leaves a gummy residue, and is really hard to remove. Honestly, I tried using warm water but find it ineffective and at the same time I am a little bothered because it may ruin the acrylic. I don't want to use any scraper also since it may leave scratches on the surface. Then I remembered that when I have this PVC bag I used baby oil to remove the stubborn dirt. So I tried it.
And Whoala! It was effective!
Here's what I did.
- Religiously pour baby oil on the sticker.
- Make sure the whole sticker is coated with oil.
- Then wait for 10 to 15 minutes and peel it off.
- Use your fingers to scrape the remaining residue. You can also rub it with a clean rug preferably cotton cloth rug.
- After the residue has been removed, just wipe the excess oil.
Yes, you can also use olive or canola oil, but it's a little expensive. For me baby oil is very practical aside from that it smells good.
Hope this trick helps... til next time.
