Many of us like to put stickers or badges onto our laptops, especially kids. But, when it’s time to remove them, problems can arise. Even if the entire sticker peels off well, it often leaves behind a sticky mess that is difficult to deal with. This guide will show you how to remove sticker residue from a laptop.
Laptops are often expensive and electronic gadgets need to be handled carefully.
WD-40 Multi Use Product can help you get rid of the sticky mess, safely and effectively.
WD-40 can solve a range of problems in and around your home, from lubricating door hinges to removing rust from metallic articles. You can get the can from a hardware store or order it online. WD-40 Smart Straw is the same reliable Multi-Use Product but specially designed for precision application which will mean you can target just the problem area.
Gently spray WD-40 Multi Use Product directly onto the area affected with the sticker residue. Make sure that the entire area is covered with the liquid. But, beware of spraying too much liquid on the surface, to avoid harming your laptop.
Do not start cleaning the surface immediately after spraying the liquid. Wait for 5 to 7 minutes and let WD-40 work its magic on the residue. It will loosen up the gum particles and reduce their hold on the surface of your laptop.
The final step, to remove sticker residue from a laptop, is to give it a good clean! Take a slightly damp, clean cloth and begin to rub gently. Remember, you are dealing with a sensitive electronic gadget! If you are not able to remove all the sticker residue on the first go, you can repeat the process and spray the liquid again until you get the desired results.
