How do you remove old, dried on price stickers from sealed and carded toys? Anyone know any tricks on how to go about doing this?

I just use a qtip and some goo gone. Lightly soak the tip of the qtip with goo gone and rup in on till the sticker is lightly saturated, wait a minute and peel it off. Sometimes it leaves a slight stain...but not always. Anyway, thats how I do it.

If the price sticker is on anything plastic like a plastic bubble or window I try to manually take as much of it off as possible. Then I get a soft rag or paper towel and use my finger to dip the cloth into a tub of GoJo hand cleaner (the very plain kind, not anything with pumice). I work that into the area until the glue residue comes off. It serves to polish up the plastic a bit as well.
You can use the same technique if it's on the cardboard, but you must be really careful not to saturate the area otherwise the cardboard will absorb the GoJo and get wet. If you are careful to stay on the printed area and not get any on the edge of the card or edge of the box material the printed part should be enough to protect the absorbent card underneath. I'm sure there is probably other products similar to GoJo that would work the same. Remember, just make sure there is nothing abrasive in it. |

I thought somebody posted a remedy that involved using a hair dryer on low to hold over the price sticker and then this will help it peel off better and leave less sticker residue.
I have only tried it with Kohl's and TJ Maxx stickers and it does work but not sure about other stores.

I use a hair dryer. Heat it up a little bit and it comes off like nothing...

peel off as much as you can as carefully as possible. Then use a qtip with WD40. Sticky residue comes right off.

My brother bought me two Shipwrecks (Anchor and Shark tat) and used a little lighter fluid on a paper towel or rag. It didn't discolor the card or anything. I was surprised.
