It’s not always easy to remove adhesive residue when removing protective tape. More often than not, the adhesive has adhered well to the surface and refuses to come off. Using a window scraper can be a good solution on some surfaces but can also pose a risk of damaging the surface.

If the surface allows, a solvent-based product can be used after testing it on the material. In the field of housekeeping, a citrus-scented deodorizer is sometimes used because these cans contain a lot of solvent to disperse the odor and allow it to remain suspended in the air for longer. The Pro-Link Désodorisant et Rafraichisseur d’air is highly recommended. In addition to quickly and cleanly removing adhesive residues, it will add a spring-like fragrance. This type of product should be avoided on plexiglass or wood.

On such surfaces, use a cloth to apply mineral oil and then rinse with soapy water.
