I know that to Thais it is HiSo to leave the economy labels on these devices but I prefer a more minimalist look....

I tried the GooGone on the AC unit and it quickly started to melt the plastic housing... I dare not take it to the Refrigerator!...

I also tried a little left over Som Tom juice and it also started melted my pretty Samsung...

Any hints on removing the stickers and glue without damaging the plastic housing?...

Peel off the sicker. Then spray the glue stuff with WD40 or Sonax oil/cleaner. It will do the job..

Eucalyptus oil

I got some 'Label Off' from Amorn, effective and it's not attacked anything I've used it on (famous last words I know).

Nail polish remover, ask your girlfriend/wife (or both....lol) for some.

Definitely not a good idea as normally it is acetone based which will do a number on plastic. Also on paint considering it is used to remove nail polish.

I always use nail varnish remover to get adhesive off fridges etc., and to clean up light switches and things like that.

At least, I do when I cant just buy a one litre bottle of acetone for under two Euros in the supermarket.

Never had any trouble with either on hard plastic.

You have been lucky with the finish the item had. WD40 or Sonax will NOT attack plastic or paint and does the job, even gets road tar off car paint.

Your advice is crap.

WD 40 also excellent to clean stainless steel cooking tops!! .. Fish Oil based if I am correct ????

I have also been using it for years...if you are concerned try a bit on a hidden surface and see, before you insult people.

No insult. The advice I have given is bullet proof, yours is not.

Flame removed.

The use of strong solvents is inadvisable, even if they appear not to damage materials you may pay dearly later.

Remember the stickers are intended to be removed, mild detergents and citrus based products will usually do the trick without damage.

Had a similar problem with a refrigerator, and found an unlikely answer: mosquito repellant spray. Worked like a charm.

If your fridge is stainless, don't use windex or anything similar. Mild soap and elbow grease.

Use eucalyptus oil or tee tree oil

Sent from my GT-I8730 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

When they delivered our refrigerator I had the wife ask about removing the labels, and honest to god this is the only time I have ever received good and useful information from a Thai, the guy told us to buy this paste from the local store. I will dig it out in the morning and post the name of the product. This stuff really works. NO smell, no oil, easy soap and water clean up, no residue, no damage to anything. You don't have to remove the label, just rub a liberal amount of this paste on the label and wait about 20 minutes, the label will just pull right off. Use a tissue to clean up most of the remaining adhesive and apply some more of the paste and wait a few minutes and wipe it clean. You won't know there was ever a label there.

Vodka works ask any Russian they use cheap vodka for this, also great for cleaning windows etc seen it on Youtube..

This is the stuff I use, and it works great.

I have used vodka to remove womens cloths before but never a sticker.

I second the recommendation for mineral oil. Naphtha would be even stronger (available in most mom & pop hardware stores as Ronson lighter fluid) but you should do a spot check to make sure it won't take off the finish. Ive used it on plastic many times without damage, but I don't want to make any guarantees.
