How to wipe off adhesive tape. How to wash traces of adhesive tape on various surfaces

Bad duct tape it does not stick to the surface, but a good one often comes into contact with objects so tightly that after removing it, the remnants of the glue have to be literally ripped off with your teeth. If not removed, over time it will leave traces that are visible to the naked eye. It is unreasonable to use the 1st option, so you have to fight for cleanliness, puzzling over how to remove traces of adhesive tape on the plastic. Since it is this surface that gives maximum trouble.

How to remove sticky marks from plastic at home

A good housewife should always be armed with an effective way to remove traces of scotch tape, even when there is no one at hand good remedy from a cleaning company that sends a housekeeper. The best available tools are:

• Scotch;
• eraser;
• soap solution;
• medical alcohol;
• vegetable oil.

These are simple objects and compounds that can be found even in a bachelor den.

How to remove traces of scotch tape with scotch tape

You can use this wedge-by-wedge method:

1. if the tape remains after using it;
2. if you are sure that new traces will not appear.

The procedure is as follows.
It is necessary to cut off a piece of tape that is optimal for the spot size from the roll. Apply and press it against the plastic surface. Then, with a sharp movement, familiar from depilation, remove it with the remnants of glue.

How to use vegetable oil

One of the popular methods is to use a fat-containing base as a solvent for dried glue. In this case, vegetable fats are optimal due to their liquid structure, which makes dissolution faster. The main disadvantage This method is that after getting rid of some stains, others appear on the surface. Therefore, before the procedure, you should make sure that greasy stains will not cause new problems.

As base case it is recommended to use refined vegetable oil, since the smell from unrefined vegetable oil may remain even after washing off the remaining fat. Alternatively you can use mineral oil or aromatic. Aromatic oils are always available for those who practice alternative medicine or herbal medicine, in addition, you can use tea tree oil - an antiseptic from a regular medicine cabinet.

Important! Do not use oil containing coloring pigments, such as sea buckthorn. Depending on the type of plastic, it can quickly pick up dye and result in new stains.

The oil from the relaxation kit will leave a pleasant favorite scent after use. Before using it, consider the price for aroma oil... Some, very rare, can be expensive. Consider this if the contaminated surface is large. Greasy glue is removed with a dry paper towel.

Medical alcohol will help

The advantage of alcohol over oil is that, dissolving the glue, it does not leave extra stains. The best way- medical, intended for skin treatment and disinfection of instruments before use. This is a 95-98% ethanol composition, depending on the manufacturer. It has a pungent odor, but it fades away quickly. An additional plus after removal is surface disinfection. To remove the remnants of the adhesive tape from the plastic, it is necessary to moisten a tampon or a lump of cotton wool with alcohol, and with the help of it, apply the composition to the contaminated area and after a while (until the alcohol has disappeared) remove the remnants with a rag, paper towels or napkins.

The disadvantage of this method is that in the pharmacy, medical alcohol is dispensed exclusively by prescription. Instead, the pharmacist may suggest formic or salicylic, which will also work. As in the case of oil, it can also be replaced with an alternative - any alcohol, but taking into account the fact that the composition will be diluted, the processing speed will decrease.

Important! Do not use alcohol with added sugar (liquor, liqueur, etc.), it will also leave stains.

You can also use inexpensive cologne. It usually contains up to 75% ethanol. Bonus - the smell of cologne.

Erasing with an eraser

More time consuming, but no less effective method deleting sticky trail- use a grater from a stationery set. To do this, you need to rub the surface with an eraser with maximum intensity in the place of contamination. This should be done until the traces of glue disappear. During the erasing process, a lot of debris appears that needs to be removed. In addition, this method cannot be applied to fragile plastic products. Thin plastic in the place of friction, it can break if the operation is not carried out carefully. Also, this method is inconvenient when applied to flexible plastic.

The lack of surface resistance complicates the task. But this method can be entrusted to children without fear that the child will get very dirty or breathe in harmful vapors.

Washing off with soapy water

If the scotch tape fell into the hands of the child and he wound up his plastic toys for them, it doesn't matter. There are ways to clean them from the sticky layer in this case too. No worse than alcohol, a soap solution copes with little effort. Better if it is warm. So, it will be more pleasant to work, and the work will go faster. As soap base You can use any soap, but it is better to use a simple laundry soap. It contains fewer additives that reduce the effectiveness of the solution. If the item is small, you can soak it in a bowl or basin with soapy water... If the object is much larger or non-removable, like a polymer window sill, it must be moistened and left to deteriorate for a while for the solution to work. For greater efficiency, the surface after soaking should be scrubbed with a hedgehog sponge or a coarse washcloth.

Important! Metal scrapers may damage the surface, so try not to use them unnecessarily.

Alternatively, you can apply bubble... It is a concentrated formulation with the addition of glycerin that even peels off labels.

We use cleaning products

The selection of chemically active solvents should be resorted to with extreme caution.

Important! They can react with plastic, and in addition to the unpleasant odor, stains can appear in the form of a non-washable plaque. In addition, under the influence household chemicals plastic can lose its luster and attractiveness.

The use of solvents like acetone or standard nail polish remover is fraught with not only stains, but also washing off paint from laminated plastics. More gentle glass cleaning solutions in this sense. They are made mainly on the basis of the above-mentioned ethyl or ammonia that do not leave streaks. They are usually odorless and clean quickly.

Of the cleaning agents, powder formulations for cleaning dishes have proven to be the most effective. Thanks to the soluble powder components, they remove the glue rather gently. But do not neglect caution and apply the product on large plot... Before the procedure, test it first in an inconspicuous corner.

If the contents of the wallet allows, you should arm yourself with a professional cleaning agent. There are a large number of under different names which means "decal remover". In most cases, they do not harm the surface and effectively remove dirt. They are available in the form of chemical solutions in a twisted container or in aerosol format.

The video below will be helpful if you have additional questions about the cleaning procedure.

Mechanical method:

• if the tape is not sticky (dry), you can wipe it off with your finger or eraser. Rub the contaminated surface by rolling the glue into pellets. With the same success, you can use a plastic bank card or a scraper to clean glass-ceramic plates.
• fresh glue can be heated and removed with a steam generator - now it is becoming fashionable to have such a practical device at home.

You can also use, for example, a kettle. The contamination must be warmed up for 1 minute, and then removed by plastic card or with a scraper. Cooled glue residues can be easily removed with a finger.

• sometimes old glue residues can be removed ... with masking tape. Press the paint brush to the surface and pull it towards you. The procedure can be repeated several times. If dirty, the tape is replaced with a new one.

Chemical method:

• from a glass, metal or ceramic surface, traces of adhesive tape can be easily removed with essential oils. Oils may stain other surfaces.
• use vegetable oil (preferably olive or canola oil). To do this, moisten a cloth with oil and apply it to the contaminated area for a few minutes, then wipe off the remnants of the glue with your finger, rubber band or plastic card. Before use, check to see if the oil stains the surface.

Most essential oils can also deal with glue residues on glass, metal, ceramics, and tiles.

• you can dissolve the glue from the tape with vinegar. Apply it with a brush and let it work for a few minutes, then rinse with water. Repeat the procedure if necessary.
• you can erase the traces of the tape with pure kerosene. Moisten a soft cloth with it and rub the sticky mark - the glue will dissolve.
• from glass, ceramics or metal, the adhesive can be removed with lighter fluid. You need to work with disposable gloves.
• You can wipe off any glue residue with a damp hand cleansing cloth. The contaminated area should be rubbed with a napkin until the surface is clean (not sticky).

You can still enumerate different liquids and aerosols for a long time, but the most effective remedy(from my own experience) is a wash for paints and varnishes B-52.

You need to work with it in a ventilated area (it has a very strong unpleasant odor) and always wear protective rubber gloves, since the liquid corrodes the skin.

Using chemical method, remember: the more ingredients in the product, the more dangerous it is for certain types of plastic and for absorbent surfaces (fabric, leather, wood ...) - there is a high probability that oil stains will remain instead of traces of adhesive tape.

To remove the traces left from the adhesive tape from furniture, plastic or glass, you need to make an effort: the adhesive tape leaves behind marks that are not easy to clean, and much depends on the surface to which it was attached.

When choosing a means with which cleaning will be carried out, it must be borne in mind that chemical solvents have an unpleasant odor and can spoil the surface (for this reason, their effect on the treated coating must be checked). For example, if acetone does not damage glass, on painted and plastic surfaces, including plastic, you should not check its effect.

Also, do not forget that the traces of the tape must be washed only with rubber gloves: if the drug is too aggressive, allergies may occur, and in some cases the skin of the hands can peel off.

Removing adhesive tape from furniture

When choosing a furniture cleaner, it is necessary to take into account the surface finish to be treated: if the furniture is not polished, alcohol or solvent can leave unsightly stains. In order to remove the glue from such a coating, you need to dissolve a dark laundry soap(3: 1 ratio, more soap), rub the contaminated surface with the resulting mass, then, using a sponge, wash off the soap warm water.

Without special efforts Scotch marks can be removed from furniture with any essential oil(sold at the pharmacy). Although it does not dissolve the glue, the components that make up the essential oil deprive it of stickiness, as a result of which traces of the adhesive tape can be easily wiped off with an ordinary napkin. The good thing about this method is that, unlike chemical solvents, the sense of smell is not irritating: the oil smells nice.

If essential oil is not available, vegetable oil can be used to clean furniture. This method can be used if you need to remove the glue from the varnished or polished surface, on upholstered furniture you shouldn't try it.

After moistening a piece of cloth in vegetable oil, it is necessary to apply the liquid to the contaminated coating and leave for two to three minutes: the oil should dissolve the sticky components. Then wipe the surface with a dry cloth. If the glue does not come off after the first time, the procedure will have to be repeated (possibly several times).

The glue can be easily removed from the varnished or polished coating using gasoline for lighters or white spirit thinner (it is diluted with mastic based on rubber or bitumen, alkyd enamels, oil paints, also well dissolves oil, fats, vegetable oil, oxygen, sulfur and nitrogen compounds). To do this, apply the product to a rag, rub it, wait a few seconds and remove the softened glue.

When using these drugs, you need to act very quickly: if the solvents are not removed in time, stains will remain on the furniture. If it is decided to use these funds, it should be borne in mind that it will take a long time to ventilate the room: the smell of gasoline and white spirit is unpleasant, sharp and persistent.

The adhesive from the scotch tape can be removed from the furniture using a hair dryer: for this, a stream of hot air must be directed at the contaminated place, and then wiped off with a cloth soaked in vegetable oil (wash the oil with soapy water).

You can wipe the glue off the furniture with dish soap. This process is long, hard and time-consuming, but after some time, after some effort, there will be no traces of the tape left. If the adhesive needs to be removed from wood covering, you can use a school eraser, wipe the cloudy spots left after cleaning with a soft old rag.

Removing adhesive from tape from plastic

You can wash off traces of adhesive tape from a plastic surface using refined gasoline or white spirit. Given the aggressive effect of the solvent on plastic, before processing, it is necessary to check whether the preparation will damage the surface. To do this, you need to apply the drug to the plastic and wait five minutes. If nothing else happens, the solvent can be used. To do this, a piece of cloth soaked in solvent must be carefully treated with a trace of adhesive tape, and then remove the glue with a dry cotton pad.

You can try wiping off the tape with detergent, and vegetable oil... After the glue disappears, wash the surface with soapy water.

You can remove the glue from the plastic surface with a school eraser. To remove the dirt, you have to make an effort, but you can do without chemicals that can spoil the surface and have an unpleasant odor. The advantage of this method over vegetable oil is that the surface of the fatty components does not have to be washed off.

Removing adhesive from adhesive tape from glass

Adhesive from scotch tape from a window or glass can remove any detergent for cleaning windows, dishes, acetone, nail polish remover, alcohol. You can purchase a product from the household chemicals department that removes labels from glass and windows.

The glue can be removed from the glass or window with a detergent or gruel from soap, for which you need to crush dark laundry soap, and add a little water (3: 1, there should be more soap). After cleaning the surface, remove the soap with warm water, after which, so that there are no stains on the window, wipe the surface with a dry cloth, clean cotton wool or newspapers.

You can wash the traces of the tape from the window with a solution from citric acid... It is necessary to dilute half a teaspoon in a glass of warm water. After applying the solution to the dirt and wiping the glass, leave the acid for a short time, then gently rinse with warm water and wipe with a soft cloth.

If the trace of the tape is to be removed from the dishes, this can be done with dishwashing detergent, household or baby soap: lather a sponge and thoroughly wipe the surface, rinsing with warm water after that.

Depending on the base of the tape, the ease of removing it from the glass base is determined, therefore, below we will consider how to wash the glass, depending on the type of tape. It is equally important to successfully cope with the traces of the tape, because if they are not eliminated, dust and dirt will subsequently accumulate on them, and black spots form.

How to wipe the scotch tape off the glass?

Exists different ways wiping the tape off the glass surface, the choice of which is determined based on its type.

Masking tape

It is most easy to remove masking tape from glass, because it is made of paper and absorbs moisture and oil well. Before removing the masking tape, which has already been glued for a long time, it must be moistened hot water and wait until it is absorbed, after a few minutes the water will reach the glue. After the tape is wet, it can be easily removed from the glass.

If the simplest way did not help, then you can resort to other cleaning methods:

• Use refined gasoline and ethyl acetate. Mix them in equal proportions and wipe the problem area.
• Apply vegetable oil. The scotch tape must be greased with oil and wait until it is absorbed, then try to remove it with a rag dipped in oil or drying oil.
• Apply essential oil. When working with essential oil, you must wear rubber gloves, and then act as with vegetable oil.

Editing, stationery tape

Stationery and mounting types scotch tapes have a base in the form aluminum foil... This film is impermeable to liquids and oils, so the previously described methods will not give the expected results. So, in order to remove editing or stationery tape, you can use the following methods:

• Pry the corner of the tape with a sharp object and pull.
• In the event that it breaks into small pieces, you need to try another method. A new one is glued to the old tape. It is recommended to fasten them well together, as if pressing them together with your palms. Rip off the newly pasted adhesive tape, at the same time removing the one that was glued to the glass surface.
• An alternative method is to heat the tape with a hair dryer and then easily remove using a safe scraper.

How to remove traces?

What traces remain from the tape? These are traces of glue, the type of which depends on the type of adhesive tape:

• Packaging and stationery tape lubricated acrylic glue... They are also covered with double-sided tape, as well as assembly, that is, construction tape.
• Masking tape is lubricated with rubber glue.

Next, let's look at how to remove both types of tape marks:

Rubber glue

The most easily removed rubber adhesive. So, if immediately after removal mounting tape wipe the glass with a cloth, all traces of the tape will be removed. If the traces are old, you will need to use the following methods:

• Rub the contaminated areas with a stationery eraser.
• Treat traces with a rag soaked in a mixture of turpentine and R-5 solvent.
• If to delete masking tape vegetable oil or drying oil was used, in order to wash off traces, you will need to wipe the glass with a soft cloth dipped in a degreaser. This can be your usual dishwashing detergent.

Acrylic adhesive

After successfully removing the tape, you can remove the remaining adhesive using the following means:

• The composition used in everyday life: White spirit, solvent, kerosene, gasoline.

  It must be remembered that all these liquids have odors; it is necessary to ventilate the room when using them.

• Organic compounds: vodka, ethyl alcohol, lotion, cologne, eau de toilette. To treat glass surfaces with alcohol-containing liquids, apply a napkin soaked in the product to the tape for 15 minutes. Then everything needs to be wiped off with a dry rag or dry waffle towel.
• Alkaline solutions... Laundry soap can be used. It will be necessary to prepare a soapy solution in which to moisten soft tissue and apply to the glue, hold for a little and try to wipe off. These steps can be repeated several times until all traces of glue disappear. This method is good for those who cannot stand strong odors.
• Caustic soda... When applied, a chemical reaction occurs, after which the glue takes on a jelly-like consistency and it is easy to remove it with a dry cloth. After this procedure, no marks remain on the surface.
• Ammonia... It also removes the adhesive from the tape - just wipe the place with a cloth soaked in alcohol.
• Vinegar... Anyone that is at hand will do. This can be table vinegar, wine vinegar, or apple cider vinegar.
