Whenever we buy something new, one of the first things we want to do is remove its price sticker.  This is especially important when we plan to give the item as a gift. We may not want others to see how much it costs.

However removing price stickers from plastic items can be difficult. Sometimes the sticker comes off, but its sticky residue remains on the surface.

The good news is that you can remove these stickers with a few simple household items.

Here are five easy methods to try.

Warm water and dish soap

Warm water and dish soap can help loosen stickers and make them easier to remove. Mix a little dish soap into a bowl of warm water. Place the plastic item in the water and let the sticker soak for about 15 minutes.

Then gently peel off the sticker. If any sticky residue remains, use a soft brush to clean it. Finally rinse the item with clean water.
