Removing Tape Goo From Walls

RE: Removing Tape Goo From Walls Post By Debbie (Guest Post) (05/09/2005) Try rubbing it off with something dipped in alcohol. It's much safer than lighter fluid, but slightly less likely to work. I put alcohol on a cotton ball or tissue to rub price tag goo off things.

Not a horrible idea on something like a plain white refrigerator door, but very risky on most paints and, I should think, many wall papers. Use a tiny bit on a paper towel or Q-Tip. Will liquefy and spread "goo" as much as pick it up, but might break "goo" up enough so Baking Soda tip (above) works. -- Work quickly. Fluid dries in seconds and "goo spot" becomes "goo smear." When done (or given up), wash "cleaned" area with Baking Soda or dish-washing liquid. Residual fluid continues to dissolve susceptible finishes, and is still flammable until it evaporates completely. Ditto for used paper towel or Q-Tip. Wash them out in soapy water and dispose of carefully. Repeating: Using lighter fluid is risky because of the fire hazard and the possibility of damaging or staining the wall. If you're not comfortable trying it, then don't.) Report Spam or Abuse
