  • Odd request, but does anyone have any tips for taking parcel tape residue off a fridge?

    I taped some cardboard to it a good while ago to protect it from our builders, but a lot of the tape has decided it likes it better on there than in the bin.

    I've tried: a washing up sponge, water and washing up liquid; GT-85 and kitchen towel.

    Will meths ruin the paint on the fridge? Anything else I should try?

  • Meths should be fine. If not isopropyl, but same difference really.

  • Lighter fuel? - may be a bit less 'assertive' than meths and perhaps less likely to take the paint off.

  • Rubbing/isopropyl alcohol is the best bet. Acetone is a bit too strong, normally starts softening most plastics. If you don't have any then pm me, I have a few litres from the lab.
