Refrigerator - Removing Adhesive Residue

It is important to use caution when removing adhesive residue from an appliance. Using a harsh cleaner or solvent could harm the appliance finish on your refrigerator.

 

Removing Adhesive Residue From a Refrigerator

Removing packing tape, protective film and labels from the refrigerator door can leave behind a residue from the adhesive. De-Solv-it® Cleaner can be used to remove this residue on Stainless, CleanSteel and Slate refrigerator doors.

 
  • De-Solv-it® Cleaner can be purchased locally at various locations such as ACE, Home Depot, Lowe's, Publix, or CVS.

  • Use the Citrus Solution version of the cleaner.

  • Use for the doors ONLY. Do not use on the liner or other plastic material.

  • Clean the door with soap and water after use.

This can be used on top freezer, side-by-side, bottom freezer and french-door refrigerators and has only been tested on Stainless, CleanSteel and Slate finishes.
