Is it Nail Polish Remover??

Thought I'd check as I have to go buy some if it is.

TIA

I have some excellent sticky stuff remover. Its great at removing the left over pieces of stickers! Got it from local hardware store.
I think WD40 is suppose to work too...

I don't know about nail polish remover, but white spirit will do it.

Stinks, though ...

meths is also good, and you can make friends with the local alkies by giving them the leftovers

Next time a Kleeneze catalogue plops through your letter box, order a bottle of sticky stuff remover. Sorry, if that's not a lot of help for now though.

ooooh....ummm no hardware store nearby sadly, but I'll look next time I'm near one...don't have WD40 either..

Pesto...we have a Kleeneeze catalogue from time to time actually...will order one next time, thanks...maybe the stickers will just have to wait...(they have been there long enough, a bit longer won't hurt I guess)

do you have any of those magic cloth things in the house? i find they remove sticky residue really easily.

ludaloo · 21/03/2007 14:50

don't have meths or white spirits either! (not very well equipped am I!!)

Oh...Aitch, do you mean those micro fibre cloths?? I have one of those....

that's the one... so long as the label has mostly been picked off and it's just the gummy bit left, those microfibre cloths work brilliantly.

I saw Kim & Aggie do it the other day, I think they were using WD40... spray on, wait a minute, then scrape off. But only from surfaces that can take it... (the demo was on a fridge)

Thank you ladies I'll give the cloth and some furniture polish a go (as thats about all I have in the house) If not I'll invest in some WD40...I wonder if DH has some in his car
