Effortlessly Remove Stickers & Residue from Appliances - Simple Guide

Whether they were stuck there by the appliance manufacturer or "decorative" children, stickers can be a pain to remove from home appliances. To remove the entire sticker--plus all of the sticky residue--all it takes is a little patience and a single ingredient from your kitchen pantry.

Things You'll Need

  • Bowl
  • Cotton towel
  • Vinegar
  • Place 3/4 cup of white vinegar in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until it is slightly warmed. If you don't have a microwave, place the vinegar in a saucepan and heat over a low flame until it is warm.

  • Soak a cotton towel in the warm vinegar, making sure that the towel is large enough to cover the entire sticker.

  • Place the vinegar-soaked towel over the sticker for a few minutes, allowing the vinegar to penetrate the sticker completely. Once the sticker has been thoroughly saturated, it should peel easily from the appliance.

  • Repeat the process for stubborn stickers if any sticky residue remains. You may need to use a little elbow grease to rub the vinegar into the appliance to remove the sticky residue completely.
