Looking for handyman to remove privacy window film residual

[Charloutte]

Hi,

We recently have removed our privacy window film on our bay window and the glue didn't come off. We bought a sticker remover liquid and tried to do it ourselves without success (or it would take us about a month).

Anyone know someone who could help us with that?

Thank you !

Hi, we got a bottle of Sticky Stuff Remover from Lakeland and it's been amazingly effective. Have you tried this?

Yes, I use Sticky Stuff remover to get labels and glue residue off jars. It's very effective.

Failing that, you could contact the manufacturer of the window film and ask them?

could also try white spirit that might work

Counter intuitively, oil works well

Use a hair dryer that should melt ut

Whatever solvent, lubricant or softeners you're trying, I suspect a bladed scraper tool like this will be helpful https://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-window-scraper-3/56292. I think I've even seen versions in pound shops.

There seems to be a fair amount of specific DIY advice around too: https://www.google.com/search?q=privacy+window+film+residue+remover.

They seem to have a solution (excuse the Pun ) for everything.
