[Libs-Or] Goo gone allergy and alternate sticker removal

[Christopher Davis]

Karen,

Orange oil works GREAT for removing adhesives. Two of my previous employers had spray cans with orange oil that worked amazingly well for this sort of thing.

Best,

It may have similar allergenic ingredients, but the product called Un-Du also does the trick. It has quite a harsh smell. The website for the product provides Safety Data Sheets: https://www.un-du.com/

I haven’t used this in a library setting, but my homemade recipe works like a champ and is super cheap: equal parts by volume baking soda, rubbing alcohol, and vegetable oil.  I usually combine tablespoons of each together for my home use.

Hello folks, I am looking for recommendations for alternatives to Goo Gone.  I have recently learned that it contains a chemical some people are severely allergic to.



Does anyone have a recommendation for something different to remove library stickers and such?



Thanks,
