Removing Tape From Painted Drywall |
|
|
I am having a problem removing tape residue from a flat white painted wall (drywall). I have tried warm water and soap, but am afraid to damage the paint by trying a marketed product.

Have you tried using a steamer on it? Or maybe even a hair dryer.

Try using Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, slightly dampened. They work well on most surfaces! Good luck.

wd40, olive oil or baby oil works like a charm.

Have you tried picking up the adhesive using more of the same tape?
I also found this article "25 Helpful Items To Remove Sticky Adhesive Goo" here: http://tipnut.com/25-helpful-items-to-remove-sticky-adhesive-goo/
A few of the tips look promising. I think I would try
10. Baking Soda & Water Paste
16. Art gum Erasers (Not a pink pencil eraser! Look in an art supply store or perhaps even a scrap booking store)
24. basically, heat with a hairdryer to soften and wipe off with a damp cloth. Good luck!

Try Goo Gone in an inconspicuous area. I think you'll be pleased with the results.
