How to remove sticker glue from refrigerator

How to remove sticker glue from your refrigerator is an age-old question with a lot of different answers.  You can try scrubbing it with a brush or knife or use some elbow grease and Teflon tape — but nothing will take that adhesive away completely. For stubborn sticky spots, you may need to use other methods besides simply taking them off. Here are some helpful hints for removing sticker glue from your refrigerator.

Don’t use sticky tape!

## Don’t put stickers on glass — it will scratch!

If you’ve got stickers on your cabinets or lights on your doorbells, there’s a good chance that adhesive residue might be stuck to the surface. You can try scrubbing it with a brush or use some elbow grease and Teflon tape — but nothing will take that adhesive away completely. For stubborn sticky spots, you may need to use other methods besides simply taking them off. Here are some helpful hints for removing sticker glue from your refrigerator.

## Try cold water, soap and paper towels

Cold water will help loosen up the glue and make it easier to remove. Soak the stickers in the sink with soap and paper towels to remove them. If you’re still stuck, you can try running the stickers under cold water, but be careful not to make the water cold enough to freeze the glue. If the water gets cold enough to freeze, it could cause the glue to harden inside the refrigerator and might not come off without surgery. So, skip the water and paper towel step and try using a plastic bag with a clean, damp towel to block the air from reaching the glue. This will slow down the rate at which the glue solidifies and makes it easier to remove.

Once you take the sticker off, you can use a knife or your fingernail to pry the other side
When you take the sticker off, you’ll probably notice that the adhesive is still a little bit strong. You can use a knife to pry the other side of the sticker off, or you can use your fingernail to do it while the sticker is still stuck to the surface. If you use the nail trick, be careful not to nick your fingertips or cut yourself. Once the sticker is off, clean the nails with rubbing alcohol to prevent infection. You can also use a piece of tacky tape to dislodge stubborn stickers.

Don’t apply too much force — just pry it off with a small, clean object

Some refrigerators have adhesive that’s designed to be removed with a special “alien”-like device, which can be very hard to remove. If you try prying it with something very hard, you may end up causing further damage to the refrigerator, like nicking your finger. Instead, use a small, clean thumbnail to pry off the sticker. If you’re still stuck, you can use a putty knife to score the surface and make it easier to pry off.

Use shock or heat to remove sticky tape (optional, but recommended)
If you’ve got stubborn sticker glue on your refrigerator’s door, there are a couple of ways to get it off. First, use a shock device. This could be a household electrical wire or a clothes iron. When you’re done, use a heat source to soften the glue so it’s easier to remove. It’s recommended that you use a different glue remover each time you take a door off the fridge.

Don’t use sharp objects to remove sticker glue

Some people are sensitive to the chemicals in chemicals used in some household products, like acetone and nail polish remover. If you’re allergic to these ingredients, you may want to consider using a mild, organic cleaner instead. But even with these cleaners, you may have to use a steady, consistent hand to get the glue off your refrigerator.

Conclusion

stickers are a great way to add personality and style to your home. There are a lot of different ways to remove them from various surfaces, so it’s important to know how to tackle different types of stickers. If you’ve got a stubborn sticker that won’t budge, try using the cold water, soap and paper towels trick first. If that doesn’t work, you may have to resort to using a punch or needle to pry the sticker off, which could be damaging to your refrigerator.
