How Do You Clean Tape Residue Off Windows

RE: How Do You Clean Tape Residue Off Windows Post By mb (Guest Post) (09/27/2008) WD40 worked to get the tape off of the window and soften the tape residue - then I used goo off to get the residue off fairly easy.

Came off easily. Just applied remover to a cotton pad, kept wiping it on the tape and used a scraper to get it off. Great tip!

I actually think that scrubbing with an olive oil soaked paper towel worked a bit better: it removed the residue more quickly and with less scrubbing. Moreover, the olive oil worked wonders in getting the glue residue off of my hands!

(Guest Post) (10/25/2007) To remove masking tape from windows, I tried Goo Gone, then nail polish remover with acetone. The nail polish remover worked much faster and easier. (However, the Goo Gone worked better to get the tape glue off of my fingers. Go figure...)

First I soaked the tape with a sponge full of vinegar, let it soaked, and then peeled off. There was some residue left. Further soaked with vinegar and scraped off effortlessly with plastic card.

I sprayed a panel of window glass with Easy Off, then placed plastic wrap over it so it would stay moist. Waitied a couple hours, then went back and the tape almost fell off, just with the saran wrap, all it took was a few scrapes with a single edge razor to get a final clean up and follow up with windex for a sparkling clean window!! This method worked wonderfully!

I dripped some 70% Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol over the stain, let it soak, and then scraped it off with plastic card you would find in your wallet (like a credit card, but use something unimportant). It came off easily and its a cheap solution.

Available in craft stores, I have even found it in the grocery store in the cleaning and soap aisle.

In their paint dep. they have an orange spray bottle of stuff (I think it's called "Goof Off") that will work absolute wonders. We moved in our home and the people prior to us had paint and sticky residue(I assume tape) from who knows how long ago, stuck on the windows. "Goof Off" took it all away with hardly any scrubbing; although you may need to use a razor blade, it will be with little effort. Good luck!

The window frame is aluminum and I have tried everything to get this ugly stuff off. You would think that I could just peel if off after all this time but it doesn't come off. Any suggestions?

Then use a scraper with a single edge razor blade to finish it. Any window cleaner will get the WD-40 off. You can use WD-40 to clean most glue types off.

I have cleaned windows with alcohol only, and you won't get a better shine with anything.

This worked for me on a car seat that was in a hot car all the time and helped to get sticky labels off of it that had baked on.

As you know, Florida had 4 hurricanes this fall, many of us criss cross tape across window panes to keep window glass from flying if window is broken. Because this lasted for 6-7 weeks the sun has baked the tape onto windows, I can't get it off. Thanks for any help Audrey Report Spam or Abuse
