• Then apply a small amount of spirit in a cotton ball and rub it on the sticky adhesive part, wipe the sticky stained area perfect with the cotton ball making the adhesive part (stained) part saturated another thing which can be done in spite of using cotton balls for cleaning is direct spray of spirit on the adhesive portion which is quiet easier.
