Many people are faced with such a problem as tightly glued production price tags, which sometimes cannot be completely peeled off, and even if it is possible to do this, then a sticky layer from them remains on things.
Today we will look at 7 surefire ways to quickly and efficiently get rid of marks from purchases.
- The first method is the simplest - try to rub it with your fingers. This method of removing the sticker is suitable for materials that have a hard coating, such as plastic or wood. The method of execution is simple: after tearing off the price tag itself, you need to press your finger on the remaining sticky layer and rub this place until lumps of residual material appear.
- A sponge or rag dampened with water will be a suitable option to soften a sticker made of too thick material. And then we proceed according to the scheme as in point 1.
- Vegetable or olive oil stored in every home will help wipe off the price tag and the remaining sticky layer on dishes or glass surfaces. How to do it: saturate the sticker with oil and let it soak for several minutes. Afterwards, wipe off the residue with a suitable tool, knife or fingers.
- Alcohol-containing liquids, such as cologne or alcohol, work great to remove the hated sticky price tags. It is enough to moisten a rag with a similar liquid and wipe off the sticker. However, it is worth considering that alcohol is not suitable for all materials.Therefore, it is recommended to first conduct a mini-test so as not to spoil the surface of the purchase.
- Special solutions for removing stickers, sticky layers, etc. are also sold on store shelves. This is a convenient option if you don’t want to bother looking for alternative ways to get rid of price tags. Instructions for use and for what materials these solutions are suitable are indicated in the description on the product itself.
- An eraser is a well-known object from school. I remember how teachers forced students to erase inscriptions from their desks and chairs. An eraser is ideal for removing price tags from books or matte surfaces.
- Probably the most sensitive issue with sticky price tags concerns clothing. In fact, there are more than enough ways. For example, the same alcohol-containing liquids or vinegar. As another option, you can apply a hot air treatment using a hairdryer. Before resorting to this method, it is recommended to look at the clothing label, which indicates the maximum temperature of exposure to the item without any damage to it. The further procedure is as follows:
- Place a thick towel on the ironing board, and on it, turn the item inside out.
- Direct the turned on hot air hairdryer as close as possible to the stuck price tag.
- After a certain amount of time, it will be noticeable how the sticker is deformed. This result makes the process of removing it easier.
Of course, this method is suitable for both clothing and other materials that are not afraid of hot air.
The methods described above are, of course, effective.However, do not forget that manufacturers, in order to avoid losing the marking material from the product, glue it with strong glue. Therefore, the methods presented above for getting rid of price tags may need to be done more than once. If the item is made of high-quality material and you do not have a guarantee that it will not deteriorate from exposure to foreign substances, then it is recommended to contact professionals who will do the work without causing damage to the product.
