I really truly dislike adhesive sales stickers and tags on the items that I buy for staging, it really tries my patience when your in a rush to complete a room and the last sticker on a piece of artwork wont come off!  It takes forever it seems to remove them, even with GOO GONE or hot water.  I tried the non acetone nail polish remover and it works great!  Thanks Micheal for finding this video and posting it for us.

Great tip!  Those stickers can be quite a pain--especially when you are trying to hurry and pull a staging together.  Thanks for sharing this!

Thanks Kym. From a previous post here on AR I use Pure Citrus air freshener on everything except plastic. It has a great orange scent and it's always with me on the job. Now I will be adding rubbing alcohol to the tool kit along with a small container of veggie oil.

Winners is the biggest culprit for adhesive stickers that just won't come off - WINNERS START INVESTING SOME MONEY INTO BETTER PRICE TAGS! Until they listen....I will try and hopefully love this solution to the problem!
