I don’t think it’s the age that matters. If you have a kid, they probably like stickers. I’m 34 years old and I like stickers. I just don’t do what they do. You can’t compare my post-it-notes to their, insert awesome cartoon here, stickers that come in packs of 100.
I find these stickers everywhere. I mean everywhere. What can I do? They
are stickers. They only have one job and they do it. The worse ones are the
ones on the doors to their bedrooms. These things are there awhile. Sometimes
layers of them. When the new cool cartoon comes out, we have more of these. I
never really thought of them as a problem until they wanted a new palette. A
clean door.
Now, had I been asked for my opinion, I might have had a different
approach, but I’m the parent. Why on Earth would you ask me the best way to get
stickers off your door? Instead, you will just rip them off and then consult me
on how to get the residue that was leftover off the door. Thus, my dilemma. And
so I researched the best, easiest, natural way to get this stuff off these
doors. And here is the solution that worked for me.
VEGETABLE OIL
- Dampen a cloth with Vegetable Oil.
- Then apply the oil to the sticker residue. Don’t soak it, but make sure it is dampened. Let this sit a few hours.
- Take a Hair dryer and use it to warm the residue spot by spot. Be sure the hair dryer isn’t on the hot-hot setting. This just needs to be warm to loosen the stickiness.
- Finally, use hot-soapy water to wipe the residue away with just a cloth.
That’s
it! It works. Hope this help with anyone in this predicament. If you are
looking for some help maintaining the rest of your home look no further than
