Along with professional household chemicals, simple penny products that are available in almost every home are effective.
Oil
The method involves the use of any oil to choose from – sunflower, olive, essential. The product is moistened with a cloth and applied to the contaminated surface for 2 hours.

Nail polish remover

The product is applied to a cloth and the problem area is wiped. You can also wet a cloth and apply it to the stain for a couple of hours, and then easily remove the contamination.
Vinegar
Some housewives always keep vinegar on hand and not only for culinary purposes. The tool has proven itself in applications that require cleaning of delicate surfaces.
Vinegar is applied to a rag, cotton pad or napkin, applied to the print that the tape or sticker left, and left for a couple of hours.
