RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Bought a wastebin. It had a large sticker with the price and barcode on it. Now there's this dirty sticker glue residue that I can't get off. Grrr
Goo Gone is the best at getting rid of that residue. Worth every penny.
naphtha is even better.
Oh that's annoying, it's so hard to get off. Have you tried baking soda and white vinegar? They're pretty solid natural cleaners
I use something similar - baking soda with veg oil, until it becomes a paste. Apply, wait 2~3 min, rinse.
I usually use rubbing alcohol (isopropyl), it breaks down that goo immediately
If you let mayonnaise or peanut butter sit on it a bit, it should remove adhesives unless it's stupid old. It's worked for me with everything up until it comes to removing adhesive that's been sitting around since 1985 or whatever.
