| | Posted: | | | | I recently bought a small can of Oops!.
Has anyone used this to remove stickers from dvd cases/slipcovers?
I don't want to ruin the plastic case or for those that come with them, the paper slipcover. So what is a good product to remove stickers? |

| | Posted: | | | | Have had great results with Goo Gone as well. It's also what two different jobs I've worked at used to remove stickers. | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

| | Posted: | | | | OOPS! is made by the makers of Goo Gone.
But the directions says to use on hard surfaces, but it does say it works on removing sticky gooey residue.
I guess I could try it out on some old case I have lying around.
Is Goo Gone good at removing stickers from slipcovers or digipacks without damaging them? |

| | Posted: | | | | I've used it to remove stickers from slip covers and also from books, most recently with the slip for My Sister's Keeper. At first it looked like it had stained the slip a little, and I was kinda  but later when I looked at it again there was nothing, so everything is  | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

| | Posted: | | | | I use the hair dryer method first...warm the sticker up with the hair dryer and most times you can peel it off...any residue left, I use goo gone. | | | | Lori |

| | Posted: | | | | Lighter fluid works most of the time, though if the DVD is old it can take some labor to get it all off. Works best on fresher stickers. | | | | "This movie has warped my fragile little mind." |

| | Posted: | | | | +1 for Goo Gone. Love that stuff.
I use it on both plastic cases and the cardboard slipcovers without any discoloration issues. For the slipcovers, instead of applying it directly on it, I squirt some onto a paper towel and press that to the cardboard for a few seconds and then rub in a circular motion to remove the sticky stuff. Then I use a second clean towel to wipe away any excess (it's oil based, so it won't evaporate away on it's own like an alcohol based cleaner). | | | "Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" - Douglas Bader
