does anyone know how to get sellotape marks off upvc?

karren

hi, i used sellotape to put up banners outside and cannot get the maks off, ive used nail varnish remover, oil, vinegar, washing up liquid.
if anyone has a idea i would really appreciate it as it looks awful, regards karren x

I cleaned mine last week and took a bit of a maddie and rubbed one of those white cleaning blocks on them. They came up really white and took all the marks off. I got these a couple of years ago in Canada, Mr Clean I think they were called. Im sure Flash did something similar. I would love to get some more as they are good for cleaning grout etc.

Lighter fluid should do the trick.

Hi I've used WD40 in the past with christmas decorations etc

Go with ariba10 on this one - I've got a can of lighter fluid in the cupboard, and it's really good for getting stickiness off things like this. Should clear the mess in no time.

NB: make sure you use fluid rather then the pressurised fuel for gas lighters - it should be in a small tin with a flip-up nozzle, rather than a cylindrical aerosol can........

I have used peanut butter and found it to work. I also think i tried oil once when i didn't want to use peanut butter and found it to work.
Hope this works for you.

HI

I use Stickystuff. You just rub a drop on and it comes straight off

Have you tried using a pencil eraser? If you wet the mark a little bit then try it might work, cel x
