Hi,
Just bought a Tv and it has a bit of selotape on the side of it, what would be the best thing to remove it? I have tried hot soapy water but it's still there.
Any help would be great

I know its a waste but rubbing gently with alcohol will remove it ...
hold a cotton ball soaked in alcohol over the glue then it should wipe off0 -
WD40 dissolves gum like this. It leaves an oily residue, but this wipes away. Also good old Stardrops.The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life.

Get a cat to lick it.You will need to wipe some fish paste on the residue first though.Their velcro like tongues will clean anything:p ."Reaching out to touch the stars dont forget the flowers at your feet".0

A little bit of hairspray on a (non fluffy!) cloth will work.0

Don't use nail varnish remover on plastic. It may damage it.

I keep a bottle of isopropl alcohol for cleaning my computer screen and CD's. It will remove sticky stuff as well. You can buy it at the chemist. About £1 for 500ml. Lasts years.
EDIT: Just realised it has been solved.0
