Adhesive residue taken by peachpurple
Copyright allrights reserved by peachpurple
I have just received a set of cooking ware, stainless steel
frying pan, a medium soup pot and a frying wok.
After removing the manufacturer’s label from the
bottom base of the pot,pan and wok, it is extremely
frustrating when the sticky labels do not peel off easily,
leaving some sticky, yucky, adhesive residue that drove
me mad to the wall.
I was mad at myself when the pieces of sticker that was
torn unattractively, left sticky residue on my new
cookwares.
Honestly, leaving the patchy scab there was certainly
ugly and tacky.
Looks as if I had bought a set of 2nd hand cookwares!
Why you have to get rid of the adhesive residue
If I ignore this residue intact to the bottom of the pot,
it will produce a foul smelling odor when the gas stove
flame, started to burn as it melts.
Hence, the adhesive residue will blacken and
embedded to the pot, leaving black burnt stain.
Tips that I had tried but failed
l Cellophane tape
l Masking tape
l Alcohol
l Nail Polish
l WD40
l Scrubbing liquid soap with damp rag
I even tried to remove the adhesive residue by rubbing
off with my fingers.
I did managed to roll off the sticky paper into small
balls which had reduced a little.
Have tried scratching the visible labels with your
fingernails?
Yup, I tried that too, was irritated when the bits of
sticky labels got stuck into my nails!
Do NOT do this
Remember, you CANNOT use sharp object such as
knife whether blunt or sharp to scrape off the adhesive
residue.
It will cause damage to your cookware, you should
read the instructions on the booklet.
How to remove adhesive residue with margarine.
Seriously, I had never thought that margarine would be
the solution to my sticky problem
I was searching for answers online and found a forum
where housewives discussed DIY solutions for home
chores.
I decided to test it out on my old aluminum mug,
which had that tacky label at the bottom for years.

Here are the step by step instructions:
1. Rub off the paper label as much as possible with
damp rag instead of your fingers.
2. Get another old rag, wash it under tap water,
squeeze out the water.
3. Use your index finger ( 2nd) to poke under the rag.
4. Apply a little margarine onto the tip of your finger
which is covered with the damp rag.
5. Rub it onto the sticky adhesive residue , in circles.
6. Keep rubbing until the margarine disappeared.
7. Use the other side of the rag which is still damp to
rub off the margarine stain.
8. You will noticed that the residue had reduced a little.
9. Repeat the same steps again until the residue
reduce gradually.
10. You will need rub rub 3-5 times until
the whole residue disappears completely.
11. Finally, use a piece of clean tissue paper to rub
off the surface clean.
12. If your cookware has the margarine smell, soak
your old rag with soapy water.
13. Then, gently rub the
non -residue surface in circles a few times.
14. Wash the old rag with tap water, squeeze it and
rub the surface again.

Wow!! Margarine does it. I wonder what it is that the margarine has that removes adhesives from so many items.
bestwriter, yes I also don't know why margarine works but it did.
Initially I thought that masking tape would but nope.
I think that olive oil would work too because both are oil/fats made
