The first step in cleaning adhesive tape stains from acrylic is to acquire the necessary supplies. You'll need a soft scrub brush, warm water, mild dish detergent, and a lint-free cloth for drying.
Before attempting to scrub or soak the stained area, you should use a damp cloth to wipe down the affected area and remove any dust, dirt, or debris that may be present. This will ensure that the cleaning process operates smoothly.
Once the surface is clear of dust and debris, it's time to start scrubbing adhesive stain. Fill a bowl with warm water and add a few drops of mild dish detergent. Dip the scrub brush into the mixture and gently scrub the stained area. Continue this process until adhesive has been removed.
Once the adhesive has been removed, you'll need to wipe the acrylic surface to get rid of any remaining residue. Use a damp lint-free cloth to gently wipe down the area. Make sure to wipe in direction of the acrylic grain to avoid scratches and streaks.
Once surface has been wiped clean, it's important to dry the acrylic. Use a dry, lint-free cloth to thoroughly dry the area. You may want to use a hair dryer set to low heat to speed up the process.
Cleaning adhesive tape stains from acrylic surfaces doesn't have to be a challenge. With right tools and a bit of elbow grease, you can easily restore your acrylic surfaces with minimal effort. In no time, your acrylic will look as good as new.
