Rather than feel your blood pressure rise every time you pass a window covered in sticky residue though, try these six tried and tested way to get it off!
1. Rub with an eraser
If it’s not too sticky simply rub it off with a pencil eraser.
2. Spray a little oil on it
Both olive oil and coconut oil work well, although they can leave windows streaky and floors slippery. Simply spray a little on and wipe off with a cloth.
3. Alcohol
Dab a little vodka onto a cloth and gently rub it over the sticky residue. Avoid using anything sweet or with bubbles as it will just make the sticker even stickier.
4. Sellotape
Wrap a strip of sellotape around your fingers with the sticky side out. Dab this gently over the sticky residue until it comes off.
5. Scrape it off
If it’s on the floor, using a knife or a bank card, simply get on your hands and knees and scrape it off.
6. Warm soapy water
Soak the area in soapy water and rub it until it comes off.
Always test on an inconspicuous area first before you use any of the above methods.
