How Do You Remove Stickers From Walls?
Stickers, bumper stickers, duct tape and other forms of adhesive products can leave a sticky residue on your walls. Various household products will remove the tape and the adhesive goo that is left behind without damaging either the painted surface, wall paper or wood below. Baby oil, or mineral oil, is one low-cost household product that works well in conjunction with soapy water and a steaming mechanism. Wipe the area with a paper towel or clean cloth. Aim the steam from an iron directly at the sticker. The heat and moisture will melt and loosen the glue and soften the sticker. Rub baby/mineral oil directly on the sticker and/or adhesive goo and let it sit for 15 minutes. Avoid getting the mineral oil directly on a wood wall, as wood can absorb the oil. Peel off the sticker, using your fingernails. If all of the adhesive goo does not come off, apply the mineral oil again. Wash the area with a light mixture of dish soap and water, then wipe it off with a paper towel or clean cloth.
