Sometimes, when we leave adhesive tape on for too long, some residue inevitably remains when we remove it. For adhesive residue on hard surfaces, we can apply nail polish remover to the surface and then gently wipe it with a soft cloth to remove it. Isn't that amazing? If you don't have nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol can also remove these residues.
In addition, hand cream can also remove adhesive residue. Hand cream contains a large amount of water (generally over 70%), and water contains a certain amount of surfactant. Surfactants have good wetting, penetrating, and dissolving abilities, allowing them to quickly penetrate between the adhesive and the surface of the object, thus achieving the purpose of removal. By analogy, we have found that some facial cleansers, facial washes, and dish soaps have the same effect.
For stubborn adhesive residue on carpets, the best method is to carefully trim off the adhesive residue from the tips of the carpet fibers, then wipe it off with a cloth dampened with alcohol.
1. Turpentine: This is the same as the paint remover used for brush cleaning. You can apply some to the adhesive residue with a tissue and rub it on the affected area. After a while, it will be removed.
2. Using old and new transparent tape: This method uses the principle that new transparent tape removes the adhesive from old tape. This method is often very effective.
3. Eraser: This is a common and simple method that most people can think of. The eraser will initially appear very dark, but don't worry, it will turn white after the adhesive is removed.
4. Expired skincare products: Because they contain chemicals, these are very effective at removing the adhesive from transparent tape.
5. A mixture of soap, ammonia, and turpentine is also very effective.
6. Sodium hydroxide and paint thinner can both remove the adhesive from transparent tape.
7. Hair dryer: This method is also commonly used. It uses the principle of heating the adhesive to make it easier to remove. 8. Nail polish remover can also remove adhesive residue from transparent tape.
