You need to work with it in a ventilated area (it has a very sharp bad smell) and be sure to wear protective rubber gloves, as the liquid corrodes the skin.

Using chemical method, remember: the more ingredients in the product, the more dangerous it is for some types of plastic and for absorbent surfaces (fabric, leather, wood ...) - it is more likely that oil stains will remain instead of tape marks.

Depending on the basis of the adhesive tape, the ease of its removal from the glass base is determined, therefore, further we will consider how to wash the glass, depending on the type of adhesive tape.

Glass is considered resistant material. It is not exposed to the outside, unless it is heated to a high temperature and not scratched. Therefore, in order to erase the glue, you can not use:
  • dry soda;
  • sponges with an abrasive surface;
  • scrapers and metal brushes.

All these products will scratch the surface of the glass.


Acetone and thinner are best avoided as they will dissolve the adhesive and smear it across the glass surface. Then it will not be easy to clean the glass so that it becomes transparent.

So for choosing suitable remedy you need to know what glue was used in the production of adhesive tape. But even if it is not possible to determine this, thanks to a wide choice of means and methods, it is possible to remove any tape and glue from the surface of the glass. Additionally, how to care for windows and other glass products.

Scotch tape has been successfully used in everyday life for a wide variety of needs for a very long time. It perfectly fastens, helps to quickly pack a thing, and also insulates windows. In addition, adhesive tape can be single-sided and double-sided, which expands the scope of its application. But many housewives are constantly faced with the traces that remain after this effective fixing material. Often, instead of washing the surface, some just waste time and money. Or even spoil the things to which the adhesive tape was glued. And all because they do not know what exactly can remove stains without damaging the material.

Why do tape marks remain?

The only drawback of this fastening material is the traces that remain on the surface from its use. Why do they appear? The fact is that the basis of adhesive tape is glue, with the help of which, in fact, it is kept on the surface. The appearance of spots depends on two reasons:

  • from the material to which the adhesive tape is glued;
  • from time.

It is important to understand that the softer the surface, the more difficult it will be to get rid of traces later. Glue in such material is absorbed very quickly. If you stick adhesive tape to cardboard, for example, then after removing it, the marks on the surface will be very significant. And on plastic or wood, only a barely noticeable trace of glue will remain. A lot of glue remains if the tape is stuck for quite a long time.

  2. For ordinary furniture, White Spirit solvent is suitable, which is likely to leave stains on a polished surface;
  3. Unpolished furniture can be preheated with a hair dryer to make it easier to remove the tape marks later.
  4. If the traces of adhesive tape occupy a small area, you should use a regular eraser. This procedure is very simple - just rub the stain from the adhesive tape until it disappears. After that, it remains only to wipe the place with a damp cloth. The disadvantage of this method is only in duration. Therefore, the eraser will not be able to quickly erase the glue.
