Sticker residue on brown pvc
« on: June 18, 2011, 07:00:24 pm »
Hi. Has anyone successfully cleaned sticker-residue off brown pvc. I have a customer who left the installation film on a door frame for too long. When peeled off, it left the residue behind.
The brown pvc has a textured skin unlike the white, so I need to get the right stuff, if indeed there is any, that will take it off.
Thanks

Get a bottle of eucalyptus oil from boots (or any pharmacy) and use it on a rag. It'll budge it..
