Does anyone know how to get stickers off of wood? My new dining room chairs have some kind of a styrofoam sticker stuck on the back of them.

First you need to remove as much of the sticker as possible with your fingernail or the edge of a credit card. Apply multi-purpose lubricant spray to remaining sticker bits and leave them to soak for at least 15 minutes. This will soften the adhesive. Use a scrubbing pad to rub in the direction of the wood grain. Repeat if required. If this is unfinished wood DO NOT use this method because the spray will cause a stain.

Hope this helps... :)

I wondered that too... but that's what it said. I think I'd just use a cloth or something... nothing abbrasive. :) Like Ann said... Goo Gone always works well too...
