Then, turn the hair dryer on and set the heat to the highest setting. Hold the blow dryer 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) away from the double-sided tape for 30 seconds, which will help loosen the adhesive. Next, turn the hair dryer off and slowly peel the tape away with your fingertips starting at a corner. If the tape is still sticking, heat it another 30 seconds before trying again. You can also use an iron to remove the double-sided tape. First, put 3 pieces of tissue paper on top of the tape and then set your iron to low heat. Once it's preheated, put it on top of the tissue paper, and move it around in a circular motion for 30 seconds. Now, remove the iron and tissue paper, and peel the tape off by hand. To remove double-sided tape from glass or ceramic, you can use a plastic scraper. Hold the scraper at a 45-degree angle to the surface and apply firm pressure. Slide it into a corner of the tape repeatedly until the tape lifts up. Then, peel the rest of the tape off by hand. Finally, use baby oil or all-purpose cleaner and a sponge to remove the sticky residue. If you want to learn how to clean any residue left by the tape, keep reading the article!
