Tape Residue on Scissors

RE: Tape Residue on Scissors By LaQuetta (8) Contact Lighter fluid....it's cheap and it doesn't leave a oily or greasy residue. It doesn't mar the finish like nail polish remover and evaporates quickly. We are a non-smoking household but I have a can of lighter fluid in the bathroom, kitchen, laundryroom and garage. It lifts off those dang labels that are soooo glued on, takes the goo off everything, scuff marks off the floor, tar off your clothes, just a million uses for it. I couldn't live without it.

I keep a can in the kitchen and the garage.

I even use the Lemon wipes to remove film from the Starbucks Frappucino labels when I peel them off to make vases.

Saturate a cotton ball and rub it on the blade.

Then wash with soap and water and dry well. It will definitely work, and is gentle on finishes.

It comes in handy for removing adhesive residue and other types of residues. Applying with a paper towel will get the residue off pretty easily. Smaller cans of "Goof Off" only cost about $3-$4.

Posted on 04/04/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Tape Residue on Scissors By lah34a (93) Contact I'd try using rubbing alcohol. It's pretty good at removing "goo." :) Posted on 04/04/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse
