Rubbing alcohol

Tip

Use light pressure and smooth motions when scraping with the razor blade the to avoid scratching the mirror.

Stickers can leave behind a nasty residue on glass and mirrors. A razor blade is the best tool to remove the sticker effectively. Any leftover residue can be cleaned up with rubbing alcohol.

Step 1

Wet the mirror and stickers with warm, soapy water.

Step 2

Scrape the sticker off of the mirror with a razor blade. For safety, use a razor blade that includes a holder. This item is available at hardware stores.

Step 3

Apply rubbing alcohol to a cloth or cotton ball and rub over any excess sticker residue. Wipe with a dry cloth. If adhesive residue remains, try a adhesive-removal product such as Goo-Gone.
