Getting parcel tape off stainless steel

[Johnnytheboy]

I've had a stainless steel plant pot delivered with bubble wrap taped round it.

In a couple of places the tape has been on the metal and peeling it off has left a bit of the tape.

Suggestions to get it off without marking the pot?

WD40?

[Tiberius]

Try some WD40, it usually does the trick

[Johnnytheboy]

Thanks both, I will try, and Tiberius: welcome to PH!

[Johnnytheboy]

Thanks both - worked a treat.

Isopropyl alcohol would work too

Better to use avon skin so soft spray which does a great job and smells better. Also a great midge repellant.

I use WD40 to clean all my steel. Works a treat.

WD40 (as previously mentioned), white spirit, methylated spirits or acetone will all do the job, in ascending order of gunk removal capability...
