When working with the solvent, you need to keep the window open and wear gloves.

You can also use solvent to remove traces of labels from plastic containers.

And also advertising stickers from the laptop. But it is necessary to consider that some types of plastic the solvent can damage.

If you don't have any solvent at home, acetone-based nail polish remover will come to the rescue.

Also, traces of scotch tape can be removed quite well using a window cleaner with ammonia or isopropyl alcohol.

You can also use food vinegar, diluting it with water in a 1:1 ratio.
