Advice for removing gunk off of acrylic... - tanTALK

Curious · 10-12-2009, 02:07 PM

So I found this real sticky residue on one of my beds. It is like when you remove a sticker or price tag off of something and it leaves this clear gunk behind. I have tried the novus and it didn't work. It is a massive spot so I can't use that bed until I get it off I don't want to hurt my acrylic so what else can I try?

Try Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, takes nail polish off my acrylic when nothing else seems to work...Good Luck

WD-40

I'm finding that windex removes everything better than anything.

Will try, thanks!

WD 40 has worked for me also. I'll add Oops, Goo Gone.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WD-40 IS THE BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with engfant. Windex removes everything from anything.

I've always used magic eraser. I might have to try windex. I love to use WD-40 for things but I can't stop sneezing when I use it.

i use margarine. the oils in it lift any glue residue from any hard surface! just have to let it absorb for awhile.
