How do you remove adhesive from a sink without scraping the porcelain?

The sink came with stickers. When I tried to remove the stickers, they left an adhesive on the porcelain. I've tried to scrape it off with a razor, but this method left black marks on the surface. Are there any tricks to getting adhesive off of porcelain surfaces? Thanks for your input!How do you remove adhesive from a sink without scraping the porcelain?

If none of the above works, try using vinegar.


Spray, wipe some on let set a couple of minutes and wipe off with soapy water.

Use the hairdryer to melt the glue on the stickers, they usually just peel right off. This works for most other things, like price stickers on gifts, too. Just remember to keep the faucet turned off!
peanut butter, Goo Gone... both work well





Be Blessed!
Fingernail polish remover,WD 40 or lighter fluid.
white spirit or turps.
Try fingernail polish remover.
charcoal starter fluid work great and its cheap
spray it with WD-40 let set for a few minutes and wipe it off then clean with hot soapy water.
I would try rubbing alcohol first. If that doesn't work - I know fingernail polish remover will work.
There is a product called Goo Gone...find it in the cleaning isle...its oily and citrus-y. It works well on removing adhesive stickers.
Use peanut butter! It will take off pricetags, kids' toy stickers etc. Also, it's good to keep on hand a product called GOO GONE. That will do the trick if you feel the need to spend some more money on this project. If you need to actually remove tub caulk, there is a product made by 3M that will take that off. You'll be fine with any of these remedies. Good luck!
Try using one of those cleaners with orange stuff in it, or try rubbing a towel with dish soap (full strength) on it. By the way you should never use a razor on anything dry because it can leave scratches on the surface.
Jasco is the best product to use for paint, and epoxy.
Try Alcohol that usually does it. it might take a few tries. when it is good and wet use a sponge and rub until its all gone.
WD40 or a solvent.
WD-40 will soften the adhesive and you will be able to scrape it off with your finger nail.
