Glue/label/sticker remover

neviditelny · 12 Apr 2019 at 07:04

I work in a hospital and we moved location of our ward earlier in the week. In the store rooms there is labels attached to the shelves that is very difficult to peel off so I'm in need of a glue/label remover.

Anyone got some recommendations?

Isopropyl alcohol should do it. Surely hospitals should have some?

Wire wool and a tub of El-Bow™ Grease

Lakeland sell something that works pretty well. Likely not cheap though

I have no idea why, however I too have always found WD40 to be remarkably effective; more so than Isopropyl alcohol :confused:

Mykal Sticky Stuff Remover

You can buy it from Amazon for about a fiver or two bottle for around £8.

Brilliant stuff. Sometimes Aldi have the equivalent in for a couple of quid cheaper.

Single bottle....

double....

We have used the above a lot and it has never left any residue and I'm told that it has a very pleasant smell.

Another vote for WD40 here. This also works for the stickers that our works security stick on the windows of cars who are parked where they shouldn't be

WD40, baby oil or petrol usually work.

Fire. Though it does make a mess.

Alcohol hand rub and gauze with a bit of elbow grease should work. It's what I have been using at my son's bed side the past couple of weeks

Bit too late now but I always grab a hairdryer when dealing with sticky labels.

If there's loads, a wallpaper steamer or something like that. Steam removes everything pretty much.

This, a lot better than wd40.
