Stickers are a real headache for buyers. They are found everywhere: plastic windows, dishes, glass jars and bottles, car windows, furniture, kitchen utensils, tools... you get tired of listing them.
Below are the five best ways to remove labels and sticker residue without damaging the item itself, followed by the best method for each type of surface. So, whether you are starting with a new sticker on a newly purchased product or with an old label, one of these tips will definitely help you.
Be sure to test the method on a small area first to gauge any reactions between the remover and your item.
Where does this fashion come from?
When you see a person wearing sunglasses with a sticker on the glass, you know: in this individual there is a raging feeling of adoration for everything “foreign”.
During the years of total shortage of the 80s, when Soviet people only had access to the “Drummer’s Dream” tie and the “Love of Labor Bees” cork armpits (produced by the Kyshtym Hosiery Factory), foreign goods were an unattainable dream.
Farriers and underground sellers with “boiled” jeans in their hands, Salamander boots and sunglasses were super-heroes who could sell a piece of beauty - things that were passed down and carefully preserved by our ancestors.
At that time, the sticker on the glasses of such a seller indicated that the glasses were also for sale.
Having bought the “company”, the average person did not remove the sticker from the glasses, which were a status accessory, until the very last moment. Well, it made the owner look like a representative of a respected and mysterious clan of black marketeers, captivating girls’ hearts at discos.
What are these stickers for?
Some eyewear manufacturers apply a distinctive mark of their brand in the form of a logo on the outer surface of left-handed lenses. This marking does not have specific requirements and standards; it usually focuses on the originality of the product . Although, they are found much more often on fakes, especially when falsifying premium products.
But now it's the 21st century
Alas, with the onset of summer days, more and more often I come across “guests from the 80s” who cannot even imagine tearing off the shiny stickers.
The physiological age of some of these citizens makes it doubtful that the person found that time of shortage, but among the other habits of such an individual, I am sure, there are the following :
- carefully wrap the remote control in a bag
- do not touch the stickers on the laptop, even if they have already faded and turned white
- calling small stalls “supermarket”
- stick stickers with unfunny jokes and phrases on your tinted Lada cars
Do not be like that.
Start small: pick the sticker off your new glasses.
