✍ Time to Clean those Marks ✍

We love our Stickers but we also get a new anime or movie every week! So usually change our stickers a lot and when we do we get an awful glue mark under it. Which is almost impossible to remove.

So here are a few tips on how to take those marks off using supplies—which you probably already have around the house— to remove sticker residue from any surface.

The residue left behind after removing an adhesive-back sticker or label from a surface may be sticky, gooey glue. And occasionally, getting rid of it might be downright difficult. It's not hard to figure out how to remove sticker residue, but resist the urge to scrape the area with a putty knife or metal blade.

The surface beneath the gunk may be scratched by this cleaning equipment. Instead, apply the advice in this article to learn how to gently soften and remove sticker residue from surfaces including glass, plastic, wood, and even clothing.

Try to remove as much of the sticker residue with your fingers before you start. You may easily remove the sticky adhesive by rolling it into balls with your fingertips.

Do not wash or dry the item of clothing if there is tape residue on it before the stickiness has disappeared. If the stain has gone through the drying cycle, it will be more difficult to remove.

Use one of the following techniques to get rid of any sticker residue that is left after you've removed as much as you can by hand. One word of advice: Before using any of these techniques, test the surface in a hidden location to ensure that it won't discolor or harm the surface in any other way.
