Sellotape sticky residue

9 replies

Hello,

Not sure if this is the correct topic. I've stuck sellotape on my wooden topped island and it's left a residue behind when removed.

I've tried all sorts to get it off, it's not sticky just clear and starting to drive me mad when the light reflects 🤣

Any wisdom/tips how I might remove this?

Thank you!

CPC sell a label remover which might work. Not sure if it would affect your wood though.

You could try vegetable oil. Just try a little patch first. Vegetable oil removes sticky residue from things but I'm not sure how it would work on wood.

Nail polish remover (test a bit on a small area first in case it affects the wood, but it's brilliant at removing sticky residue)

We have this and it’s great - says suitable for wood too.

A magic eraser sponge and water?

Mayonnaise works too, the full fat version.

to remove sellotape or sticky residue from scissors try sunflower or veg oil With warm water & some washing-up liquid on a dish sponge or one of those abrasive ones. Good for removing sticky labels from jars etc🙂
