Removing Stickers From a Door

Removing Stickers From a Door Post By Tash (Guest Post) (04/20/2008) My dad says that the hair dryer will burn the wood on my door and we don't have any googone to get the sticky off. What should I do now? Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Stickers From a Door Post By DEBRA J. (Guest Post) (08/27/2007) Try using a hair dryer. It works on books real well. The high speed setting on the dryer will heat up the glue on the sticker and should come off. Then I take a wet cloth and rub the rest of the sticky off. This should work on the door too as all you are doing is heating the sticker glue up with the hairdryer.

Use an old credit card to scrape them off. Use vinegar to remove residual glue, or use goo gone.

If you find the area darkened around the sticker area, you can use 409 and elbow grease to clean the wood, doesn't damage it either (mom of 7 trick, not from teaching). I wouldn't recommend the peanut butter or oil as they will seep into the wood if there is not a protective barrier in place. HOpe this helps.

HINT Removing Glue and Sticky Residue: To remove sticky residue/glue, try one of these: mayonnaise, peanut butter, nail polish remover, "Goo Gone", or any oil. I thought to share them in case they are any use to anyone. I was surprised to see that peanut butter was included- but that one seems to be known by some already! Good luck, Brenda, i hope you find a solution to your sticky problem.

I left them there (for sentimental reasons :>) ) for many years. When I finally decided they needed to come off I was surprised to find that the paneling had darkened over the years.......but the wood underneath the old stickers had stayed the lighter original color. You may find the same thing.........the stickers may come off okay but the shape of them will still be visible on your door.

I would go with the hair dryer, or try a damp towel and a low temp iron. That also works for getting gum and candle wax from carpets.
