Written steps
- Grab a hair dryer, a plastic scraper or old gift card, rubbing alcohol, and a soft cloth.
- Warm the sticker with the hair dryer on medium for 20 to 30 seconds to soften the glue. Keep the dryer moving.
- Lift one corner with the plastic scraper. Don’t use a metal blade; it scratches.
- Peel slowly, keeping the sticker low and folding it back over itself. If it starts to tear, warm it again.
- Wipe leftover glue with a little rubbing alcohol on the cloth, then dry the surface.
Old or brittle decal? It may come off in pieces. Warm a small section at a time and peel as you go.
Didn’t come off? Cover it.
