Use Goo Gone to Clean Stains, Gum, and Pretty Much Everything

Goo Gone is an amazing adhesive remover. Many of us theater and video people know it as the best way to remove gaffer’s tape and price tag residue from stages and props.

If you have a bottle of the oily citrus cleaner, you may have used it to gently dissolve anything that would otherwise be hard to scrub off. (I primarily use it at home to get clean off stuck-on duct tape from my air conditioner. Parents can use it to clean off crayon marks, too.)

But Goo Gone can do so much more than eliminate glue (there also doesn’t seem to be a comparable generic name for the stuff). We found it useful in taking off stickers from drinking glasses and plates, cleaning glue off of scissors, and dissolving gum from fabric and shoes. It even gets rid of yellow armpit stains. (The stuff is MAGIC, I tell you!)

To use Goo Gone, the method is the same no matter what you are dissolving or what surface it’s on: wipe Goo Gone on the goo, wait about 5 minutes, scrub off, clean with soapy water, dry.

While it does seem to take nearly any stuck item from nearly any surface, the manufactures advise not to use it on silk, leather, suede, rubber, faux stainless steel, drywall, unfinished wood surfaces, or unsealed stone. It’s always best to test a little bit on a small area before starting.
