When you leave tape or a sticker on a hard, nonporous surface for too long, residue from the adhesive can be left behind when the tape is removed. Whether it’s on plastic or glass, or other hard, nonporous surfaces like sealed granite, glazed ceramic tile or stainless steel, it can be hard to clean away the residue.

Fortunately, Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes come preloaded with a bleach-free cleaning solution to help loosen the adhesive so you can remove it from the surface. The textured non-woven wipe material is strong enough for scrubbing when it’s needed. Read on to learn how to wipe away sticker residue.
