washed from the glossy surface of the furniture with sunflower oil .. works ..
The most effective, fast, not expensive tool. ... turned out to be a soda for a wooden surface. I tried all of the above. Thank!!! 🙂
I sealed the gap in the computer case with scotch tape. And then when I removed the tape, a very stable glue mark remained. Nothing could remove it, and tried sunflower oil, and acetone, and soda, but did not help. And I decided to try the “Sanitol” oven cleaner, and about the miracle, I cleaned it so well that even no trace remained. And only soaped and washed away. Maybe not necessarily by this means, maybe another similar tool for cleaning ovens will work, I just had this particular brand.
