How do I get the sticky glue residue the lable leaves on the surface of my new white fridge door and washing machine front after peeling them off without scratching the surface?

I think nail polish remover should work

I had the same, just some warm water on a cloth and some gentle rubbing got it off.

Soak it in WD40, then rub it off

To rid the kitchen of the WD40 smell apply a little petrol to the affected area and light.

Lay out a small bowl of vinegar for a few hours and that should get rid of the smell of WD40, now you'll have a vinegar smell instead. LOL! Depends what smell you prefer I suppose.

Light a match (away from anything inflammable), the smell of the sulphur gets rid of most smells-especially in the bathroom after a curry!!

Normal household furniture polish, leave it for a minute or two - as th epolish has silicone in ti it attacks the adhesive..

and smells nice

Good way to get rid of any smells around the house is to cook some kippers uncovered in the microwave!

Only suitable if you like the smell of kippers around the place for a week or two.

To get rid of the burning smell after you've lit the petrol, throw a few sausages and burgers on..

I used to use WD-40 a lot when I worked on hospital equipment and strangely enough when people came into the room it would be 50% actually loved the smell and 50% hated the smell !
