Step 1: Heat The Sticker

Applying controlled heat is recommended for efficiently removing stickers from your door. Heating the sticker loosens the adhesive, facilitating easy removal without residue. Follow these steps when using heat:

• Use a hairdryer or heat gun on low heat.
• Hold it a few inches away to prevent damage.
• Move it back and forth for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Test the sticker's corner before peeling.

Step 2: Peel Off The Sticker

To remove stickers from your door effectively, gently peel them off after applying controlled heat. Use a hairdryer or heat gun on low, moving it back and forth to warm the adhesive without door damage. Lift the sticker's edge with your nail or a plastic scraper, peeling it off gradually at a flat angle. Reapply heat as necessary for smooth removal.

Step 3: Remove Residue

Once the sticker is removed, address any leftover residue:

• Rubbing Alcohol: Dab a cloth in rubbing alcohol and gently rub the residue.
• Vinegar Solution: Mix equal parts vinegar and water, apply, and let sit before wiping.
• Cooking Oil: Apply oil, let sit, then wipe clean.
• Commercial Adhesive Remover: Follow manufacturer instructions.
• These methods effectively remove stubborn residue from your door.

Step 4: Clean The Surface

To clean the door surface post-sticker removal, gently wipe with a damp cloth to clear residue. For stubborn spots, use a mild detergent or vinegar. Avoid harsh chemicals to protect the door finish. Afterward, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly for readiness.

Step 5: Dry The Surface

After sticker removal, ensure the door surface is completely dry to avoid moisture-related problems.

• Pat dry with a clean cloth.
• Allow full air drying.
• Ensure no moisture is trapped.
• Check for any remaining residue for further cleaning if necessary.

Step 6: Inspect For Residue

After sticker removal, inspecting for residue ensures a clean surface. Examine under good light, feeling for stickiness or visual remnants. Use adhesive remover or rubbing alcohol on a cloth for sticky spots, wiping gently in circles. Finish by wiping with a damp cloth and drying thoroughly.
