Sticky Stuff Remover

We had a new bathroom fitted and there was a big sticker on the toilet seat saying that we were not to use chemicals on it.

I took the label off and it left a sticky, yellow residue. The plumber said he had something that would get it off but that didn't work and someone said WD40 to me and it worked perfectly but what a stupid thing for the factory to do. They nearly got the seat returned to them.

Try CT1 Multisolve. My DH uses it at work to remove the stripy tape on shop floors. I believe it removes all sorts of glue.

Does anything remove super glue?

I run mine through the dishwasher with the next load once I've got the labels off.

White spirit is good for removing the adhesive on stick on labels.

But be careful, if you have cats. It is poisonous

Thanks NotSpaghetti - I’ll try the white spirit next time. I make a lot of jam and people give me jars, but I like to get labels off completely and the modern labels are often very recalcitrant ?

I would try white spirit. I use it as Farmor uses "Sticky Stuff Remover"

I mostly use Sticky stuff remover for getting the gummy residue from jars after soaking and scraping off labels. I tried WD40, but it didn’t do as good a job so I finished off with the proper Sticky Stuff Remover. Now I need to buy some more!

Thanks for the replies - I have some WD40 (in one of the many boxes not yet unpacked!)

I suppose I should have known it was called "sticky stuff remover"!

White spirit will work.

Thanks for hint about WD40. My bottle of Sticky Stuff remover is nearly finished so I’ll try WD40 next time I need it

WD40

Nail varnish remover is good.

WD40. It removes everything. No need to buy anything else.

Try WD40. Works for me most times. Or, you could try a warm hairdryer & a scraper. The heat might melt the wretched stuff.

Another one is Zoff

Bizarrely

It’s called ‘Sticky Stuff Remover’ I got it from Amazon!

Try nail varnish remover first,I’ve had success with that with ‘sticky stuff’ ????
