Remove Adhesive Residue From Glass

There are several simple ways to remove adhesives from glass.


Want a sure way to safely remove adhesive, glue and some paints from glass or ceramic surfaces? Well, science to the rescue. Your garage and even your cabinets offer some solutions. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Clean the glass with soap and water. Dry your hands thoroughly and hold the glass object firmly. Remove as much paper clinging to the adhesive as possible.


2. Select a cleaning compound to use on the glass. There are a number of cleaners available that will work on most adhesives. They include nail polish remover (acetone), lighter fluid and WD-40. You can sometimes also remove adhesive with warm soapy water and elbow grease.


3. Apply a small amount of cleaner to a paper towel, cotton ball or cotton cloth.


4. Wipe the area, saturating it. If using WD-40, you can spray the adhesive directly on the glass.


5. Wait a few seconds and wipe the area again with a clean section of cloth. If you are using WD-40, increase the wait time to a few minutes.


6. Repeat the procedure as many times as necessary to remove the adhesive.
