How do you get rid of adhesive stickies on a painted wood door without damaging the door to much?

I had a stick-on towel bar on my bathroom door and now I no longer want the bar on. When I took the bar off part of the stick adhesive is still stuck to the door and I'm not as to how to get rid of it. Any ideas?





It is a white painted door.How do you get rid of adhesive stickies on a painted wood door without damaging the door to much?
use a product called ';citrus force'; mix it with water at 1 part citrus force 5 parts water and spray on. it will remove the adhesive but not the paint. you can get citrus force direct from Lanotec( Queensland, Australia) or try your hardware storeHow do you get rid of adhesive stickies on a painted wood door without damaging the door to much?
goo gone
hmm, well depends how strong the adhesive is but i would sugguest maybe putting some sort of lubricant bhind it or water to try and loosen it up and maybe slide a knife in the back of it. If it pulls off some paint you can always go over it.
Try a cotton ball with vegtable oil on it and rub it like you were taking nail polish off ..the oil won't take the paint off..or ..if it's not too thick sometimes duck tape placed on it and removed several times helps loosen it.
Warm water on a wash cloth. Press it on the door for a few and peel off the sticker.





You can try a blowdryer too.
Depending on how long the door has been painted you can use alcohol on a bath cloth.





If it's been painted recently dap a small amount of baby oil on a piece of tissue and wipe.





Should do the trick
Avon skin so soft.
Goo Gone at the local hardware store
RUBBING ALCOHOL ON WASHCLOTH....
Goo Gone works really good and it doesn't damage wood at all.
as you pull on the sticker slowely use a blow dryer on the stickey part of the sticker
There is some stuff called Goo-B-Gone (or something like that). It works really well. You can get it at Target and stores like that. It's inexpensive too.
after you tried some of the others you can still try WD 40 allow to soak in and peel off.. it also moistens the wood.
try rubbing peanut butter on it





that is what you use to remove


most sticker glues from a hard surface.
I use wd-40 on it then peel it off. it works wonders on alot of stuff.
use fried chicken grease it will make it not sticky
goof off that comes in a can is really good for labels, gum etc.. or WD 40. WD also works for paint, dry hands, arthritis.
mayo rubbed in.
if the paint is over 30 days old then you can use paint thinner, mineral spirits, that kind of thing available at hard ware stores, home depot, sherwin williams, or banjamin moore's, along with a few other places
goo-b-gone is a cleaning solution that should work...





sometimes paint thinner applied lightly, but I'd make sure it didn't interfere with the paint on the door....
