Melaleuca makes a great product called Solumel - it works wonders on all sorts of sticky residues and stains (including permanent marker!), smells great, and is non-toxic. You could even get the kids involved in the clean-up as part of the learning process!

If you don't have an account with Melaleuca, you can drop me a note and I can help you out.

Be Well,
C.

Hi, S. - Do you have any friends who shop with Melaleuca? If so, ask them to borrow some Tough & Tender, Sol-U-Mel, and/or Rustic Touch. Your furniture will be as good as new. Good luck!

Yes, Megan's right about putting a damp cloth against the stickers (or the sticky gunk they leave behind after you peel off the paper) but be aware you may have to take your time and sit for a few minutes pressing the cloth against the stickers. After the dampening, I find that my own fingernails make the best and most controllable, non-scratching way to get sticky gunk like this off a surface like that! If you dig at the gunk with tools they'll scratch up the wood. If the beds are real wood and not laminate, you may also be able to strip and refinish them later, if the wood is permanently stained and scratched, or even easier,you could paint them--easier and faster than stripping and staining a finish. Of course, a new "no stickers except on paper" rule goes along with the repainting! Good luck.

Two Words for you. Goo Gone. It works wonders. It takes crayon marks off walls, gum out of hair, and stickers off of any surface. It's made from oranges and therefore will not cause any damage to wood. Good luck.

Try Peanut Butter or plain Oil that you have in your kitchen. Either rub the Peanut butter on that sticker really well or soak a cotton ball with oil and rub it over the sticker soaking it with oil and then let sit for about 15 minutes. After that just peel off the sticker and rub off the rest of the glue. Repeat if needed.

try going over them with a damp cloth. The water will make the back of the sticker not sticky. They should come right off. Peel slowly.

Did you try using some hot water water on the bed to get out the mark? My children put stickers on their beds also and have wooden beds. Try using using a cloth that will not scratch the wood.
