Stickers often leave behind a tacky residue when they are removed, much like a bandage leaves adhesive on your skin. The method you should use for removing sticker residue depends on the surface. Adhesive can be removed from leather with ordinary household items.

Moisten a cotton ball with a few drops of baby oil.

Step 3

Rub the residue with the cotton ball, using small, circular motions. Continue this until you have loosened the adhesive residue.
