[lace-chat] Getting sticky-label gunge off melamine
Tamara wrote: I'm sure something similiar (though, probably, under another name) is available in the UK as well - look in places like Boots, in the same area as other particular cleaning supplies (around silver polish and such) You won't find things like that in Boots (at least not in the big store in Poole or through their web site). They cut back on a lot of what they used to sell a few years back. They no longer have cookware, kitchen or household sections. Supermarkets don't sell this kind of thing because they can't sell in volume - I'm surprised they still sell silver polish. The few remaining small ironmongers (hardware stores) might sell something suitable - we have a brilliant one in Poole which has the wooden drawers along the walls reaching to the ceiling, just like in the 'Two Ronnies' sketch 'Fork handles/four candles'. I use the orange-scented 'Sticky-stuff remover' available from suppliers like Kleeneze, Bettaware or Lakeland.

Hi Anne, Euctuplys oil works a treat! If you can't get that then use methylated spirits or nail polish remover.

It is very interesting. Yesterday I read several suggestions for removing sticky gunge. Today I received and read the original question and both questioner and I are in the same country within the UK.

The paper has soaked away, but the sticky gunge left behind is proving stubborn :( Can you get WD40 in the U.K? I spray it on the gunk, let it sit for a minute or so, then rub it off.

Melamine and nail varnish might not be happy together. Plain shortening (any fat, in fact) is likely to degrade the gum quickly, and then it can be washed off. -- -- Martha Krieg [EMAIL PROTECTED] in Michigan To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
