>>1301765There is that orange oil type of glue remover. It's even been sold at the dollar store (before Biden inflation priced those products out of stock). I bought some at Lowe's although any hardware store will carry it.
If you only have small amounts of sticky residue here and there, use sticky tape to remove it. Depending on the type and age of the residue, different types of tape may work or fail. If tape fails, then you'll have to go the "glue be gone" solvent route.
Wash your hands. They must be non-oily. Dirty hands ruin the stickiness of the tape. Get some tape about three inches long. Gently and even press the end of the tape over the residue. Now pull the tape away from the surface at a 90 degree angle to the surface (perpendicular). Some of the residue will stick to tape. You may need to do it several times before the residue loosens enough to be pulled off. If this works, repeat until the residue is gone. Once you get the hang of the method, you can use shorter pieces of tape as your skill improves.
If the peropendicular method doesn't work well, note that some types of residue are gummy. These can be removed by the "oblique" method. Gently press about 3/4 to one inch of the tape to the residue. Now hold the tape about 20 to 30 degrees angle to the surface. While very gently pressing down on the tape touching the residue, with the other hand pull the tape sideways while maintaining that 20 to 30 degree angle. Repeat several times as the residue loosens and finally lets go.
If you use orange oil (goo be gone), wipe the surface clean with a cleaner such as windex when done. Not all plastics are compatible with orange oil so wiping it off is good practice.
