(We purchased these shades so as not to have potentially dangerous cords hanging around - yet they put the danger sticker on anyway, but that's yet a different issue.) The tea tree oil worked wonderfully removing the sticky residue off of the hard plastic rails - and we don't have any lingering annoying chemical smell - just the fresh smell of tea tree oil.

I had some eucalyptus oil lying around and it works like magic on even the gummiest of old stickers. Comes right off without any pressure at all. I was looking all over the internet for a solution!

I always keep a little bottle of this oil around. For removal of glue of ANY kind, please don't bother with anything else. I tried everything from vinegar, rubbing alcohol, peanut butter, or soaking in hot water, etc etc. Nothing works like tea tree oil. Tea Tree Oil… hands down, seriously.

I just put a little of the product on a dry washer and wiped around this said surface. It reduced the stickiness just like I thought!

Gotta love chemistry, everything is chemistry that is govern by physics.
