Removing Stickers Off of Painted Furniture

Many children love to play with stickers and they proudly choose to display their collection in strange or inappropriate places, like your table or chairs. Some stickers peel off the furniture easily, while others leave behind shreds of paper and sticky residue when you try to remove them. If stickers mar the beauty of your painted furniture, get rid of them with a few sprays of window cleaner and clean, cool water.
