Stickers on Storage Drawers
 
1 Attachment(s)
I bought these bank of Iris drawers and have been very pleased with them. I finally bought a Brother P-Touch so I am making labels to go on the front of the drawers. You can see I was able to peeled one label off easily over a year ago but now there seem to be permanently stuck. I don't want to take a razor blade to scrape them off because of the drawer being a soft rubber plastic. Any suggestions to remove the gunk and the label ?? THANKS

Have you tried nail polish remover??

There is an aerosol Orange citrus that will remove almost all glues.

Goo Gone works for me, you can get it at Walmart!

If you don't want to use a chemical I have done this. Scratch the surface of the label and soak it in a sink or bathtub. It should come off in an hour or so. Peanut butter also works, leave it on all night. :)

Is the label on both ends? If not, turn it around. (lazy, I know)

Someone on the QB recommend this recently:

I haven't had a chance to try it yet myself, but the reviews for it are good.

Edit: Forgot to mention my personal standby -- a hair dryer! Heating the adhesive makes it more sticky and therefore easier to remove. Still might need a little Un-Do or Goo Gone afterwards, but often I can get the entire label and all adhesive off just with heat.
