Removing Sticker Residue From Leather

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.

Step 1

Scrape off sticker residue by using gentle, short strokes with a butter knife or the edge of a credit card.

Step 2

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.

Step 4

Wipe the area with a cloth moistened with white vinegar. This will remove the baby oil and tape residue.

Step 5

Dry the area with a soft, lint-free cloth.
