.....on how to remove white stickers from the sole of shoes. Frustrating that you try and take the sticker off and it leaves half of it behind!

Thats what I get for buying cheap stuff

Any tips welcome xx

Get a bottle of sticky stuff remover.

Yep. That's what it's called.

I've got some that cost £100 and they still have the sticker. Warm water does the trick for me, dab it on and it should just peel off nice and easy x

run your hairdryer over it then peel off, failing that nail varnish remover will do it.

Brillo pad or scouring sponge and some warm soapy water.

make it wet and rub it down - usually does the trick with most things

Try nail polish remover? That is pretty potent stuff as it has acetone in it, well a lot do. A bit of that and a vicious rub will hopefully see the sticky bit come off.

Other than that very hot water and a finger nail and sit scraping!

Don't use nail varnish remover if you have red soles on the shoes, you know the ones I mean......

Should have just peeled off the loose bits then coloured the rest in with a black felt tip.

I was thinking that, or black nail polish! Would've required less elbow grease!

Spunk.

If it fetches the varnish of both my bedside table and PC desk it should do the trick with white labels.

Just leave to dry for a day or two and it should peel off of its own accord.
