The use of stationery tape often leads to the appearance unpleasant problem, expressed in the formation of sticky colorless marks on various surfaces, which over time become covered with the smallest particles of dust and other specks. It ends up looking ugly and sharply conspicuous, like a stain of dirt. But you simply cannot do without adhesive tape on the farm, because it helps out in many everyday situations: when you need to glue, fasten or fix something. To clean an old trace of double-sided tape on plastic, wood, furniture, glass, on a car or on a fabric surface, you will have to make a lot of effort and use special tools. In the presented review, we will take a closer look at how to remove traces of adhesive tape, medical adhesive tape and other types of adhesive tapes used for domestic needs.
In everyday life, adhesive tape is constantly used to fix retractable and sliding doors when moving or from small children to protect them from injury. Usually, from a long stay of adhesive tape on any surface, when removing it, double sticky black stripes remain, to eliminate which it is recommended to use only products with a mild spectrum of action so as not to damage the surface structure and prevent the formation of unsightly stains.
To clean wooden furniture with a treated surface, it is better to use vegetable or essential oils, and you can also prepare a mixture of these components.
Vegetable and essential oils
The use of sunflower or olive oil in almost every case gives positive result in the process of removing sticky traces from double-sided tape or ordinary stationery. In order to quickly remove such stains on wooden furniture, moisten a piece of cloth and treat the affected area until the stain disappears completely.
Essential oils also have a good effect, which will quickly help remove the adhesive stain from adhesive tape. But it is better to carry out the procedure for removing such contaminants with rubber gloves to prevent damage. skin hands
It is important to remember that expensive wood species, as well as wooden furniture with a polished surface, you should not clean sticky residues with essential oils, as there is a possibility of damage to the upper texture.
Only in extreme cases is it allowed to use essential oils in combination with ordinary sunflower oil to clean expensive polished furniture. But if white streaks or spots appear, it may also be necessary to polish the affected surface in order to preserve the beauty of the appearance of the tree.
Eraser
Furniture made from untreated wood should not be cleaned of sticky marks with vegetable or essential oils, since instead of a stain from adhesive tape, a greasy stain will appear on the surface of such wood. From such a surface, the eraser will effectively remove traces of adhesive tape.
Acetone or soapy water
If traces of adhesive tape appear on the surface of the fabric upholstery of a sofa or chair, then you can wipe them off with a foam sponge previously moistened with acetone or a strong soapy solution. After treatment of the soiled surface upholstered furniture the remaining soap stains are recommended to be cleaned with plain water.
Removing sticky marks from clothes
On the surface of clothing, such contamination appears when the factory sticker is peeled off from a T-shirt or sweatshirt, or due to careless operation of this stationery. But if such a stain nevertheless appeared on your favorite item of personal wardrobe, then you should not delay with the start of the process of removing sticky contamination, since the adhesive structure will be absorbed into the deep fibers of the fabric structure, and it will be much more problematic to get rid of it in the end.
There are 2 ways to get rid of this trouble:
- The first method consists in the usual soaking of soiled clothes in a soapy solution with the addition of washing powder and subsequent washing of the contaminated area.
- If plain clothes made of dense materials are damaged, then use a cotton pad or swab dipped in acetone or alcohol to remove the sticky stain. Rub the place of contamination with it, then wash the treated fabric in the usual way.
Very important: to remove sticky marks from any adhesive tape, it is not recommended to use aggressive solvents in the form of gasoline and kerosene, as their use will spoil the fabric texture and its color, and it will not be easy to remove them.
How to remove stains from glass
The appearance of adhesive tape on glass is considered a common occurrence for everyone. After all, various announcements and holiday decorations are attached to the glass using double-sided adhesive tape. Especially everyone loves to glue New Year's snowflakes on the window, build all sorts of applications and crafts, fixing their base with tape. To remove such pollution, it is not necessary to use any special means. It is very easy to achieve the desired result, unless, of course, these are prints from masking tape, which will still require some effort to eliminate.

When purchasing such a product already at home, these stickers have to be removed, after which a sticky imprint remains on plastic surfaces. To effectively eliminate marks on plastic from any kind of adhesive tapes.

If no changes have occurred after applying the cleanser, then it can be safely used to eliminate sticky contaminants.
Dear visitor! If you know other methods for removing stains, please leave your experience in the comments.
We are all familiar with such a unique and useful tool as scotch tape. It was invented back in the 19th century, but since then its scope has only expanded. This is not surprising, because there are much more types of adhesive tape: painting, stationery, mounting, double-sided. In addition to the remarkable property of attaching any objects to itself, scotch tape also causes trouble. If the tape peels off, marks remain on the surface that are very difficult to wipe off. Dust settles on them and over time, glue spots become like a little monster from a bad cartoon.
Why stationery, paint and other types of adhesive tape leave traces
Whatever the adhesive tape is made of: paper, fabric or rubber, the composition of the adhesive applied to the tape remains the same. Glue is made on the basis of acrylic or rubber. So, in order to tidy up furniture or other surfaces, it is worth taking care of means that can dissolve these substances.
In addition to such a composition, the ability of the glue to be absorbed into objects also affects the traces. What determines how easy it will be to clean the coating?
- From the structure of the surface. The coating consisting of a loose substance is difficult to clean from glue.
- From the time of contact. The longer the adhesive stays on the surface, the better glue absorbed.
To make it easier for us to deal with cleaning in the future, let's see what types of adhesive tape exist. And what is the glue feature that distinguishes them.
- Stationery - acrylic glue;
- Painting (paper or crepe) - rubber;
- Mounting (construction), including double-sided - acrylic adhesive;
- Double-sided foam-based mounting tape (available different colors) - acrylic or rubber.
Rubber adhesive can be easily removed from surfaces, especially if the tape has been removed recently. It just needs to be removed by hand. Here, perhaps, additional purification is not required. The main qualities of rubber-based glue are elasticity and water resistance. Acrylic adhesive tape marks will take some effort. Since rubber and acrylic are not similar in composition, the methods for cleaning them differ.
Removing adhesive prints from glass
We'll start with solvents. You don't have to go straight to hardware store. Enough to use gasoline. Ordinary household gasoline or the one used to refuel lighters is applied in a small amount to a sponge or cloth. We wipe the adhesive stains properly. Wash off the remaining solvent with soapy water and wipe the glass dry. Instead of gasoline, you can use white spirit or turpentine.
When cleaning glass with solvents, you need to remember that they all have pungent odors. So the room should be well ventilated during cleaning and after it. If it's a cold season outside, you might want to think about other ways.
Chemical products such as solvent or kerosene are also used as detergents. Apply a little to the sponge and remove the glue from the glass surface. These two substances perfectly dissolve rubber chemical compounds.
Solvents containing petroleum elements cannot cope with an acrylic-based adhesive coating.
Alcohol compositions clean the glass surface literally in two counts. You can use medical (ethyl) alcohol, technical (methyl) and alcohol-containing products (vodka, lotion, cologne). Wet a sponge or cloth with plenty of alcohol. Then apply to the traces of glue and press. We fix to withstand the time of 10-15 minutes. Wash with a dry clean cloth.
Another effective way to get rid of glue on glass is - melamine sponge. What it is? This is a high-quality and inexpensive analogue of a foam rubber sponge. But the structure contains the so-called melamine foam. It is produced by a special technology of expanding melamine resin. Melamine itself is colorless crystals, slightly soluble in water. Although the sponge belongs to the abrasive products, it can be used when washing glasses, because due to the soft texture it does not scratch the surface and does not leave marks. Wet the melamine sponge, wring it out to a damp state and rub the dirty place properly.
Next on our list are products that contain alkali. These can be gels for cleaning ceramics and sanitary ware, dishwashing detergents with surfactant components. Apply a small amount to the sponge. With effort, we wipe off the glue stains.
Important! When using chemicals with a high alkali content, be sure to protect the skin of your hands with rubber gloves!
Caustic or caustic soda. We will talk about it separately, although they refer it to alkaline cleaners. This is the strongest lye. It has the appearance of scaly granules white color. It has no smell, which allows people with allergies to use caustic. It is available in solid and liquid form. But in order not to leave scratches on the glass, we choose the second option. This tool corrodes fatty and organic compounds, easily copes with any synthetic materials. When in contact with the surface, caustic soda begins to heat it. To use it for cleaning glass, put on thick rubber gloves. Apply a few drops to the sponge and wipe off the glue for a few seconds. We wash away traces of caustic large quantity water.
Important! This substance is dangerous, gloves and goggles must be used when working with it. It must be applied and washed off quickly, as caustic slowly corrodes even enameled coatings. It has strong destructive properties. Can corrode aluminum and zinc. In addition, caustic soda is explosive, it is classified as a combustible material with increased level danger.
Effectively rid a mirror or glass of glue stains acetone. You can use nail polish remover, the main thing is to make sure that there is no inscription on the vial: “Without acetone”. Acetone-free liquid consists of water, butyl acetate and propylene glycol. It will not remove traces of adhesive tape, it will only ruin the manicure. But back to acetone. We impregnate a cotton pad or cotton swab with a solution and carefully wipe the dirt on the glass surface. Beforehand, so that our manicure does not suffer, we put on rubber gloves.
Do not clean glass or mirror with abrasive products. There will be scratches on the surface.
Sunflower oil, despite its popularity, will not rid the window of glue. Under the influence of sunlight, the glue is deeply eaten into the texture. The oil only softens the top layer, does not penetrate the adhesive path, and cannot be completely removed.
Though laundry soap contains alkali, it certainly will not clean off traces of adhesive tape. Like oil, it works with upper layers dirt without destroying acrylic and rubber.
We remove traces of adhesive tape from furniture and carpet.
It does not matter how this very trace remained on the material. Maybe moving from one city to another. Or when buying a thing in a store, consultants managed to put a price tag on scotch tape. The main thing is how to return the fabric to a decent look.
In this case, you cannot use sunflower oil, petrol and kerosene. Substances will leave greasy spots. Dealing with them is much more difficult than with traces of adhesive tape.
White spirit or turpentine will become a faithful assistant when cleaning the upholstery. To prevent furniture or carpet from being damaged, dilute solvent water in a ratio of 1:1. We have a gentle solution. With a cloth soaked in this liquid, gently wipe the place of contamination. If the furniture is leather, it is better to use a foam sponge so as not to scratch the surface. After cleaning, we pass over the upholstery with a damp cloth and let it dry.
A stationery eraser is useful when cleaning any furniture. It has no restrictions on materials, temperature conditions. It does not damage tissue. You need to use it the same way as if we were erasing a drawing in a regular notebook. After cleaning the upholstery, we pass the place with a vacuum cleaner to remove small particles of the eraser.
How to get stains out of clothes
- Non-shedding natural and fabrics can be cleaned from the adhesive tape with alcohol or acetone. We soak a cotton pad with the solution and wipe the stain. This option cannot be used for printed fabrics, dyed and thin materials.
- We soak clothes in soapy water or water with the addition of washing powder. Let stand for 30-60 minutes. Carefully wash the traces of tape by hand.
- We set the machine to the mode suitable for the fabric. Adding washing powder and loading laundry. We turn off the spin function, if any, to make sure that there are no traces of glue left on the fabric.
- Dissolve soda in hot water. Soak the item for 30-60 minutes. We wash the places of pollution, as it should be rinsed.
Gasoline and kerosene leave persistent greasy stains on fabrics, so they should not be used to remove traces of glue from clothes.
Household appliances shine again
Perhaps this is due to the solutions that catch our eye every day. These are vinegar, glass cleaner, acetone and alcohol. How to use the last two tools, we have already told. The turn has come table vinegar. The solution is probably one of the safe means. But since it's an acid, we still wear rubber gloves. Wet a soft cloth in vinegar and wipe the surface of the refrigerator, microwave or other metal. In addition to cleaning the marks, the acid will also help to get rid of the remaining sticky particles of double-sided tape. Moreover, vinegar will not leave white streaks on any metal surface.
Oddly enough, window cleaner is useful for cleaning metal objects from traces of adhesive tape. It is more gentle on appliances than vinegar. Apply to a damp soft cloth and wipe thoroughly. Then we pass over the surface with a dry cloth.
Tidying up plastic things
Well, it's just not very difficult. Almost all cleaning products are applicable to plastic objects. Even sunflower oil. We dip the brush (it is better if it is made of pile, not silicone) in oil. And we cover the tracks. Let's stand for half an hour. During this time, the glue changes its properties, softens. And removed with a sponge or cloth. For linoleum, you can use an eraser.
When cleaning plastic, do not use gasoline that can leave light spots. You can not use a caustic and a hair dryer, because if the plastic product is not of high quality, it may warp.
In addition, hydrogen peroxide helps to remove traces of adhesive tape. Wet the surface thoroughly. We wait a few seconds and quickly scrape off the glue with a plastic scraper (or an old credit card). Remove the remaining peroxide with a damp sponge.
On colored low-quality plastic, white spots may form due to hydrogen peroxide.
Four products for wooden surfaces
Sliding wardrobes from a chipboard, a laminate and a table from natural wood. Oil, eraser, Pinen are applicable to all these materials - unlike White Spirit, it does not have a sharp and bad smell. But in detail we will dwell on quite non-standard way, not without reason saved for dessert. We will use a hair dryer. A hair dryer that every girl has. Of course, the dryer itself is not a cleaner. It only prepares the adhesive for removal by other cleaners. With the help of a hair dryer, the adhesive softens, becomes more viscous. We remind you that you need to use the hot drying mode. Then remove the trace of adhesive tape using one of the above methods.
How to wash off painted walls or wallpaper.
It is best to destroy dirty traces of adhesive on the walls using “dry” methods - using liquids to a minimum. If non-woven wallpaper and water-based paint moisture is not terrible, this cannot be said about paper attributes. We erase the traces with a damp (almost dry) melamine sponge or eraser. Most likely, the glue forms pellets, which can be brushed off with a soft-bristled clothes brush.
If the glue got on the rubber
We use weak alcohol solvents or detergents. Scraping off such marks with a knife or blade is not worth it. Can walk on contaminated surfaces soda solution, but never use a caustic. After all, then there will be no trace of rubber boots.
We have analyzed all the ways in which you can clean the adhesive from adhesive tape with different surfaces. And do not forget about the consequences that threaten the use of certain means. Be careful and attentive, and the choice of method is yours.
After using adhesive tape, there are always traces on the glass that need to be removed. It is not so easy to do this. Such glue is not washed off with water, cannot be removed with a damp cloth, and removing its sticky traces requires some effort. But modern housewives know effective ways How to remove tape from glass. We suggest you choose the most suitable one and test it personally.
Vegetable oil
Ordinary vegetable oil will help to cope with traces of glue from adhesive tape. Soak a cotton pad in it and wipe the dirty spots. Leave for 10-15 minutes, and then remove the softened adhesive residue with a damp cloth. You can remove vegetable oil from the glass with a dry sponge.
Solvents
To remove adhesive residue, use any solvent at hand - acetone (nail polish remover), white spirit or gasoline. When using such products, do not forget about safety precautions, as their strong smell can cause dizziness. Handle solvents in a well ventilated area.
Soak a cloth or cotton swab in the product and wipe the place of contamination with it. After some time, wash the glass thoroughly with soapy water or special tool. Avoid getting the solvent on the plastic surfaces, and after cleaning, wash off any remaining solvent with water. Remember, these products are not suitable for cleaning frosted glass.
Alcohol
Alcohol or any alcohol-containing product (vodka or alcohol tincture) will help remove the remaining adhesive tape from the glass. When using a pure product, it must be diluted with a small amount of water. Soak a cotton swab in the resulting product and wipe the places of contamination with it.

Soda
To remove traces of scotch tape from glass, an accessible remedy - soda - will help. Dilute the powder in a small amount of water to obtain a thick slurry. Apply the resulting mixture to a sponge and wipe the glass with it in the area of contamination. Rinse off any remaining product with water and a soft washcloth.
Eraser and blade
Small adhesive residues can be removed with a blade. It is necessary to work with such a tool very carefully so as not to get hurt or scratch the glass. Always keep the blade exactly parallel to the surface to avoid scratches. Although the process is quite laborious and requires dexterity, it is quite effective and is suitable when other methods cannot be used. A stationery eraser will also help to erase traces of glue from the adhesive tape.
Other means
As alternative methods you can use:
- Essential oils. Just apply the oil on the traces of adhesive tape and after a few minutes wash off with a damp sponge.
- Special tools for removing sticky traces of adhesive tape and stickers. You can buy it at a stationery or car supply store. Apply a small amount of the product to the dirt and remove it with a tissue after a few minutes.

- Home remedy. Lather dish detergent in hot water and apply the resulting solution to the stained area. Rinse off softened glue clean water and sponge.

You use adhesive tape when transporting furniture - you “fix” the doors of cupboards, cabinets and bedside tables with it. This ribbon is very reliable and usually does not fail. But when the furniture has already been moved, an unpleasant surprise awaits you. It suddenly turns out that it is not at all easy to wipe off the sticky miracle from the nightstands. And even if it succeeds, you still have to suffer with the remaining sticky stain. So how to wipe the adhesive tape from the furniture, so as not to leave any traces? Now you will know.
Regular lighter gasoline is a great way to get rid of sticky tape:
Just take a piece of cloth, moisten it liberally with lighter gasoline.
Walk through the "remains" of the tape.
Rinse the vacated area with warm water.
Wipe dry and that's it.
But we warn you: the stench will still be the same, so the method is effective, but not without flaws.
Very important! Use gasoline very carefully, especially with polished and varnished surfaces. If you hold the “fuel” on them for too long, then it will so eat that you can’t remove it later. Well, except perhaps along with polishing.
White spirit solvent adhesive also perfectly eliminates adhesive tape. The method of removal is the same as with gasoline for lighters.
Eraser
The eraser not only erases various pencil daubs - it will also clean the places where you had to glue the adhesive tape without any problems. Do it in this way:
Take an eraser, until you're blue in the face, rub it over the remnants of a sticky miracle.
Then "polish" with a dry cloth, and the matter is over.
The method is excellent, but rather long - you just need angelic patience to completely remove the Velcro.
Oil perfectly removes sticky from polished and painted surfaces:
Dampen a clean cloth with oil.
Rub the adhesive spot well.
Do not touch for 20 minutes, so that the sticky stain “soaks” the oil enough and begins to break down.
Rinse with polish and clean with a spatula.
Wipe it with something dry (a paper towel is fine), and say a long-awaited goodbye to the sticky miracle.
The disadvantages of the method are the same stink. Plus, if the surface is untreated wood, it is dangerous to rub oil on it - greasy spots may remain.
You can wash sticky marks essential oil, which is sold in any pharmacy. But it still smells after. Indeed, where is he? more pleasant aroma sunflower, which will only please the fetishists of this plant.
soda
To tear sticky stains from furniture, ordinary soda is enough:
Prepare baking soda and dilute it in water to make a paste that looks like sour cream.
Apply "sour cream" to the sponge and rub it on sticky spots.
Rinse and dry.
Hairdryer - for furniture plastic
Scotch tape can go into plastic almost forever. The sun's rays are to blame - they literally "crown" the adhesive substance with plastic surfaces, make them one whole - it becomes almost impossible to wash the stains. But there is salvation and its name is a hair dryer. Yes, yes, the one you use to dry your hair after a shower or shower. Just:
Heat sticky spots with a hair dryer (to soften them, hot air is just right).
Then put a swab dipped in the same vegetable oil into the game. Gently rub it on heated sticky spots.
Remove the oil with soap and that's it.
Important! Furniture plastic does not always cope well with the attack of hot air vapors. If it is not of very high quality, yellow, hard-to-remove spots and even deformations may appear. To hide them, you will again have to glue something on top: film, wallpaper ... well, why not decor in general?
Tooth powder - for chipboard furniture
With adhesive tape stuck to chipboard furniture, you don’t have to mess around too much. Enough of the usual tooth powder and shaving foam (or any more or less decent dishwashing detergent):
Mix tooth powder with foam.
Apply with a sponge to the remaining tape.
Wait (literally a couple of minutes) until the adhesive stain begins to liquefy.
Take a damp sponge and carefully, without strong pressure, remove the thinned glue.
Acetone - for upholstered furniture
The easiest way to remove adhesive substance from upholstered furniture is with acetone:
Treat them to a sticky spot.
Moisten a cloth with detergent or plain soapy water.
Wipe off the remaining tape.
Finally go over with a dry cloth to remove the marks completely.
Abrasive paste - for glass
If there are traces of sticking on the glass of a sideboard or sideboard, then it will be difficult to do without abrasive pastes. So:
Be sure to wear rubber gloves, because after all you have to work with chemical- abrasive paste. It is better that it does not get on the skin.
Take a sponge and put some paste on it.
Go over the remaining tape with a sponge. Attention! Be sure to clean the sponge from time to time (with a regular rinse) from sticky particles and “used” paste;
Finally, rinse the glass thoroughly and wipe dry.
Important! Abrasives are safe only for glass. They easily damage other surfaces, rough, scratch.
Drill - for double-sided tape
Double-sided tape can be a real headache. It contains rubber and some other foams, thanks to which Double-sided tape literally sticks to it. But you can still remove the sticky. To do this, you need to buy a special rubber nozzle for a drill. Outwardly, it resembles an ordinary eraser and is designed just for removing especially sticky substances. The nozzle does not pose a great danger to furniture. And angelic patience, as in the case of a "manual" eraser, is not needed - the drill will deal with sticky spots in no time.
All-purpose label remover and dishwashing detergent
If you don’t want to fool around, the advice is simple - buy a universal remedy against labels in the store. It will clean up traces of adhesive tape, but the truth will have to fork out.
Here, watch a video about one interesting "universal":
Well, if you want it to be cheap, but cheerful, just use the usual dishwashing detergent. Do it like this:
Add dish detergent to hot water.
Use a cloth or sponge to apply the resulting mixture to the sticky spot.
After a couple of minutes, the glue will liquefy, and you can easily remove it with a regular dry cloth.
But be sure to keep in mind: this method is simple, but not always effective. As they say: to break - not to build, to glue - not to tear off ...
Scotch tape is rubbed off. This is not a joke at all. Just:
Stick a strip of sticky tape on the leftovers.
Rip it off quickly.
If necessary, repeat the procedure a couple of times.
There will be nothing left of the adhesive tape at all.
Our congratulations! Now you finally know how to get rid of sticky. It's time to get a bottle of Scotch from the bar cabinet and drink a couple of sips for the victory over his sticky namesake.
