Please help! Cleaners to remove sticky stuff from packaging tape?

Question

Okay, so the part where you put your wrists when you're typing (i dunno what you call it) broke off, so i stuck it back on w/ packaging tape, and so then it 'melted' so i took it off. it left this sticky residue on the wrist thing and i've tried getting it off with baking soda, water, and a wet one thing, but it's still sticky! what should i do? would vinegar work?

Answer 1

Buy some "Goo-Gone"- that's the product's real name!

Answer 2

Rubbing alcohol is the answer. If that won't do it, try acetone (fingernail polish remover) but that is not exactly non-toxic.

I wouldn't use Goo-Gone either because that is made from diesel fuel.

Answer 3

Goo Gone is just what you need.

Freeze the item, and the goo will chip off.

Answer 6

Put eucalyptus oil on a cotton ball and just rub it. It will come right off.

Answer 7

Goo Gone! It's the best! You can get it at Wal Mart, or anywhere...

But try WARM water and a rag-- that might work too! Good luck! :)

Answer 8

Use a little rubbing alchool on a cotton ball works perfectly for sticky things like that
