How to remove non-slip stickers from a bath?

Anti slip stickers are usually applied for safety reasons, but over time they may become dirty or damaged, and users may want to replace them or feel that they no longer need them. When removing, be careful not to damage the surface of the bathtub, especially since the bathtub material may be ceramic, acrylic, or fiberglass, and different materials may require different methods.

Removing anti slip stickers from the bathtub requires patience and the correct method to avoid damaging the surface of the bathtub. The following is a step-by-step solution:

Step 1: Physical peeling
Heating softens adhesive
◆ Use a hair dryer (medium to low level hot air) to heat the edge of the sticker for about 1-2 minutes to soften the adhesive.
◆ Attention: Avoid direct contact with acrylic bathtubs at high temperatures to prevent deformation.
Slowly tear off the sticker
◆ Use a nail or plastic scraper (such as an old credit card) to gently pry up from the heated corners and slowly tear open.
◆ If the resistance is high halfway through the tear, it can be heated repeatedly before continuing.

Step 2: Handle residual adhesive stains
Use mild solvents
◆ White vinegar or lemon juice: Soak a tissue and apply it to the residue for 10-15 minutes, then gently brush with an old toothbrush.
◆ Alcohol or makeup remover oil: After applying, let it sit for 5 minutes and wipe it with a soft cloth.
◆ Edible oil (such as olive oil): After applying, wait for 30 minutes for the glue stain to gradually dissolve.
Special adhesive remove r
◆ Select the adhesive remover suitable for the bathtub material (such as Goo Gone) and follow the instructions.
◆ Important reminder: Test in an inconspicuous location first to avoid corroding the surface.

Step 3: Cleaning and Protection
Thoroughly clean
◆ Use neutral cleaning agents (such as dishwashing detergent) and warm water to scrub and remove solvent residue, ensuring that the surface is not slippery.
Polishing repair (optional)
◆ If there are slight scratches on the surface of the bathtub, you can use toothpaste or specialized polishing paste to gently wipe in circles.

Precautions:
◆ Avoid using sharp tools such as metal blades, as they may scratch the bathtub glaze.
◆ Acrylic/fiberglass bathtub: Strong acids and alkalis (such as bleach) or steel wire balls are prohibited.
◆ Ventilation environment: Maintain air circulation when using chemical solvents.

Subsequent suggestions
If you need to reapply anti slip stickers, first ensure that the surface of the bathtub is completely dry and choose removable stickers for future replacement.
By using the above methods, it is possible to effectively remove stickers and protect the surface of the bathtub from being smooth. If the adhesive stain is stubborn, it may need to be repeatedly treated. Do not rush to scrape it with force.
