How to remove stickers from a mirror?




My young daughter, in her quest to decorate, has covered all the mirrors in the house with stickers. Now, I'm on a mission to restore the mirror's reflective beauty and remove the sticky residue they have created. Could you please share any tips you have on how to effectively remove stickers from a mirror?

Start with trying to peel the sticker off, work gently so you do not scratch the mirror, use a plastic store card as a scraper, but gently. Now you may have glue residue left behind by the sticker. For that either plain water or soapy water can be used. With a moistened cloth, wet the the sticky part and let it set for a few minutes, see if it will peel off. If successful, keep going. If not then try olive oil, to do this take a clean dry rag and put some olive oil on it, apply it to the sticker and work in small circles, the adhesive should form little balls and fall off. Remember to not press too hard.
Try hot, soapy water and a plastic scraper. If that doesn't work, try vinegar. Then alcohol or nail polish remover.
Pull the sticker off with your fingernails. Use Goo Gone, Goof Off or my go to olive oil and baking soda made into a paste for the adhesive.
Acetone or WD 40 will get the stickers off.
Agree with Dee. I use a razor blade and WD40 to remove stickers. Just be careful and don't cut yourself!
Place a sponge or soft cloth soaked in hot, soapy water, on top of the sticker and allow the water to soak in. After allowing the water to saturate the area for a few minutes, the adhesive should loosen, allowing you to gently scrape the sticker away.
You can soften the stickers by using a hair blow dryer to heat up the glue, then peel off. Be careful not to burn your fingers. There may be some "sticky" still on the mirror and this can be removed with rubbing alcohol, WD-40, etc., as others have suggested.
Hi Bracha, hope these help you out. Using a cotton ball or pad soaked in wither acetone or rubbing alcohol, gently rub the sticker to saturate it thoroughly. Alternatively, spray them onto the surface and let the liquid sit for a few minutes. These solvents should loosen the sticker and its adhesive so that it slides away easily.
Pick up some Goo Gone, it is for removing sticky messes just like the mirror stickers
Use a plastic scraper or spatula to scrape off. Then use either vegetable oil or Goo Gone to remove residue. Clean with a microfiber cloth.
Try WD-40 or Surgical Spirit or maybe if plastic a hairdrier!

Hey there, Bracha! You can place a sponge or soft cloth soaked in hot, soapy water, on top of the sticker and allow the water to soak in. After allowing the water to saturate the area for a few minutes, the adhesive should loosen, allowing you to gently scrape the sticker away. Hope this helps!
Hello Bracha: The easiest way I know is to use a razor blade and then spray the area with WD40. Let it sit for about 10 or 15 seconds and wipe off with a cloth then wash the mirror as usual.
Thanks everyone, I used WD40 and the stickers came off the mirrors easily
