When removing tape from a plastic window, the adhesive base may partially separate from the tape, leaving sticky, dense marks on the window.

If fresh glue is not removed immediately, it hardens and becomes even more attached to the surface. In addition, dust and small debris stick to it.

It also happens that the tape is forgotten for a long time, which is why, under the influence of sunlight, temperature changes, wind and time, the sticky tape “sticks” to the window.

No matter which of these reasons you have to deal with, here you will find methods that will help remove traces of tape from a plastic window.

Antistatic

For this you will need an antistatic agent for computer equipment.

This composition will gently clean the PVC profile - just rub the dirt with a napkin. If the tape has "stuck", soften it by keeping it under a napkin in an antistatic agent for about half an hour.

Vinegar

You can remove old masking tape from a plastic window using vinegar. To do this, soak a rag in vinegar, wipe the surface, wait 10 minutes and repeat the procedure.

Then you should wait another 10 minutes and try to remove the tape. To increase the effectiveness of the method, you can heat the vinegar in a water bath until it is warm.

Alcohol

Alcohol and alcohol-containing products are suitable for removing double-sided tape and fresh traces of glue from a plastic window. To do this, soak a cotton pad in alcohol and wipe the contaminated surface.

If the glue does not come off, leave a cotton pad soaked in alcohol for 10 minutes, covering it with cling film. As a result, the glue will soften and you will get rid of it without any problems.
