Label stuck on plastic is the target.

Suggestions?


To get the stickum from a label off, use an orange-based cleaner.
They are amazing. Some have orang in the name.

To get the label itself off first, you can use your finger nails, or
soak it in water if it is paper. If it's stronger than paper, your
fingernails or your kids. They won't scratch unless you try really
hared.
