Removing Old Contact Paper from Windows?

February 10, 2018

We moved into an apt that has old sticky contact paper on all the windows on the front porch. I have tried several things to get it off and nothing has worked. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've already smashed one window trying to scrape it off.

Try using a blow dryer to soften the glue so you can razor it off.

You could try wetting it with a spray bottle filled with diluted ammonia or straight white vinegar. Let it sit a bit to loosen the glue and then use a razor blade to scrape it off. This works well for a variety of stickers and sticker glue residue. Finish cleaning with rubbing alcohol to remove any remaining bits of glue.

I removed contact paper on shelves with a hair dryer. I held the corner and turned the dryer on low and worked it off a bit at a time.

Then I cleaned the residue with Goo Gone. Took awhile but got the job done.
