How do I remove scratch off label residue from a surface?

How you clear scratch-off residue depends on the surface underneath, since paper and hard materials need different approaches.

• Paper or cardstock: Roll a soft eraser gently over the residue to lift it without tearing the print.
• Glass, plastic, or metal: Put a little rubbing alcohol on a soft cloth and wipe in small circles.
• Avoid acetone: Acetone-based removers can dissolve the ink on anything printed.
• Test first: Try a small hidden area before wiping the whole surface.

Work slowly and let the alcohol do the lifting rather than scrubbing hard, which protects the artwork beneath.
