by Uomo di casa

Learn how to remove glue residues from furniture without damaging them, using the right products and following practical tips from Uomo di Casa.

Introduction

In this article, we will explore how to remove glue, particularly double-sided tape, from delicate surfaces such as furniture. We will examine three products known for glue removal and determine which works best. This is especially useful for those who want to do it themselves and save money without damaging surfaces.

Tested Products

Alcohol

The first product I tried was alcohol. However, I must say that on very resistant glue residues, alcohol proved to be practically ineffective. It removed nothing, which forces us to move on to the next product.

Degreaser

The second product tested was a brand-name degreaser, used with a cotton cloth to avoid the abrasive action of a sponge interfering with the test. Again, the degreaser proved to be completely ineffective.

Effective Solution

Special Degreaser and Steel Wool

After trying alcohol and degreaser without success, I decided to use the most potent product available: V of forty degreaser. In combination with a steel wool pad, we finally achieved results. The glue was successfully removed without damaging the furniture, provided that care was taken not to apply too much pressure.

Conclusion

In summary, to effectively remove glue residues from furniture without damaging them, using the V of forty degreaser along with a steel wool pad proved to be the best solution. This method also works on delicate surfaces, as long as care is taken not to apply too much pressure. I hope these tips are helpful and I encourage you to be careful when working on delicate surfaces to avoid damage. Until next time!
