Best way to get stickers off machines

Post by Vendition Ltd »

What's the best way to get stickers off chrome vending towers? I have some really old stickers advertising someone's company/ Salysol and tubz vending stickers which I need to remove but they are almost embedded into the machine, I can't get them off no matter how hard I scrub

I think I need to soak them in White spirit maybe? What do you lot use?

Regards

Ross

White Sprit & a plastic spoon or old credit card does the trick.

So my wife tells me... :roll:

Electrolube LRM

this is better than any other pretend label remover

WD40 works on certain glues also

Surgical spirit cheap and effective for most sticky residue. Keep cloth really wet though.

I agree with Paul on this..

We use sticky stuff remover and it works a treat and does not leave smeared sticky marks on the segments... ALso putting the plastic segment in boiling water for 10 minutes also is not a bad way but sticky stuff remover for me is the best...
