I hate to hang up cny deco cause after taking it down, very difficult to remove the glue residue on the wall and glass panel. My windows glass in one of my room, the dry glue residue that the previous owner was left behind, after so many years still cannot be remove! And the window glass looks so ugly lo.

Use blutac even if double-sided tape is provided.

I use guardian alcohol swab $4.80 for 100 pieces. Good for car DIY. For tougher ones, i use Goo Gone, find it quite good

Have some old (5 years old) sticky residue from double sided tape on my front door (zzz leftover from 5 years ago when i used double sided tape for CNY decorations). 
I tried to remove it back then but then procrastinated cos i was busy then. Then haha now it's 5 years on.

Scrapping it doesn't work cos it's just a very thin residue that u can see and hardly feel.

It's the usual laminated type of door. Anyway to remove it without damaging the laminate?

Other than Rubbing alcohol, any other suggestions?

There are 2 ways.

1. Use scotch tape and tape over, then peel. Do repeatedly, it should work and is the least messy way.

2. If above doesnt work, use a dissolving agent.  Turtlewax brand sells it. Spray and wipe off, might need a few applications

I wouldn't touch it with my bare hands - it could be the same stuff as Jamesc's sticky magazines....

Anyway update is this week, I'm too busy to try all the stuff listed yet. 

I bought the 3M adhesive remover spray but still in the plastic bag.
Reason i didn't want to buy the other solutions is due to the flammability and in case my kids play with them (though they are very good in this aspect).

Will update next week IF i have time. 

Still wondering if I should just stick something on for CNY and procrastinate some more

Suggest to use cooking oil and let cooking soak the area for awhile before using a cloth to clean off.

I think polish with colgate might work.
