Anyone have any tips for getting stickers off of books? This one must have been on here a long time, and it is being very difficult!
rubyslippersreads I‘ve had some luck loosening them with a hairdryer, but it doesn‘t always get off all the residue. 😠 5y
Karisa @rubyslippersreads Yep, warming sticker up with a hairdryer to gently pull off is what I use too. 5y
smilingshelves @rubyslippersreads @Karisa Interesting idea. I never would have thought of that! 5y

Aims42 You could try “Goo Off”, I‘ve had good luck using that with a q-tip 5y
Smarkies Goo off has worked for me. Just be careful how much you put on as you don't want an oily patch there after. 5y
BucklingBookshelves Hair dryer definitely helps! As for the residue, I‘ve had luck with rubbing alcohol or lemon essential oil. The oil I‘ve found works really well on stubborn stickers, just make sure it‘s only used in a glossy cover, not paper or cloth or it‘ll leave a mark. I use it a lot when I‘m trying to clean up a library discard book I bought. 🤷🏼♀️ 5y
smilingshelves @Aims42 @Smarkies Thanks for the idea! I'll have to see if we have any Goo Off in the house. 😊 5y
smilingshelves @BucklingBookshelves Thanks for the tips. I'll give those a try. Thankfully it is a glossy cover! 5y
