Clear tape is found in every home


It's a shame to use it only for sticking things

Don't be fooled by how small a piece of clear tape is


It has many wonderful uses you'd never think of~




Wonderful uses of clear tape




-1-


Drilling holes





When drilling holes in the wall, do you often fail to control the drilling depth? Just use a nail to measure the length, then stick a piece of tape on the drill, and you can do it with precision.







-2-


Controlling the amount of seasoning




When cooking, it's always hard to control the amount when scooping salt and cornstarch with a spoon. Like this, stick a piece of tape on the bottle opening, scrape it lightly, and it's exactly one small spoonful.






-3-


Removing hair from clothes and hats





Clothes and hats at home inevitably pick up hair. Wrap a loop of clear tape around your hand, then easily lift the hair off the clothes and hats.








-4-


Putting on a bracelet




Do you always fail to put a bracelet on yourself? Here's a trick: stick one side down with tape, and then you can easily fasten it.







-5-


Making stickers





When you see a pattern you like, you can print it out, stick clear tape on it, then use a spoon to scrape the surface hard, cut it out, soak it in water, then wipe off the paper, and you can stick it on a cup.







-6-


Cleaning fingerprints and stains on the keyboard





First tear off a strip of clear tape, then stick it on the keyboard, then use your hand to press the keyboard a little, and finally tear the clear tape off. Repeat this a few times, and you can easily remove the stains on the keyboard surface.







In daily life


There are many times we use clear tape


It easily leaves marks if you're not careful


So how do you remove them?




Methods for removing clear tape marks





-1-


Turpentine





That is, the brush-cleaning liquid used for painting. We can dip a paper towel in some brush-cleaning liquid and wipe it on the place with tape residue, and after a while it can be removed.




-2-


Sticking new clear tape over old clear tape




This uses the principle of new clear tape pulling off the adhesive of old clear tape, and this method is often very practical too.







-3-


Eraser





This is the simplest method. Of course, at first the eraser will turn very black when you use it, but you don't need to mind this, because once the clear tape adhesive is rubbed off it will turn white again. However, it only suits small areas of marks.




-4-


Expired skincare products




Because they contain chemical substances, these are very useful for removing clear tape adhesive.




-5-


Alcohol





Use alcohol to wipe it. First, when using this method you must make sure in advance that the surface being wiped won't fade; dip a cloth in alcohol and slowly wipe until it's removed.



-6-


Dish soap





Dish soap also has the effect of removing clear tape marks, and the steps are the same as the other methods.




-7-


Nail polish remover





Ordinary nail polish remover contains chemical ingredients, so its effect on removing clear tape marks is also quite good.




Double-sided tape becomes very hard to remove after being stuck on for a long time


Sometimes it also leaves behind


dark black marks


These methods can remove them~




Methods for removing double-sided tape




-1-


Hair dryer





Use heat to soften the double-sided tape. Blow it with a hair dryer, and once the double-sided tape softens, you can easily remove the marks.




-2-


White flower oil




If dark black marks have already been left, you can apply some white flower oil from home on them, then wipe it off with a rag and rinse with clean water. If you don't have white flower oil at home, you can use things like essential balm or liniment, applying and wiping repeatedly.




-3-


Vinegar





Use a dry cloth soaked in vinegar to cover the whole area of the marks, and once the double-sided tape is completely soaked through, you can gently scrape it off with a ruler.
