The person who lined my counters and cabinets must have had a hey-day with scotch tape. I am having a hard time peeling all of it off, and where the tape is off, there is a sticky residue left.
Any advice?

Try GooGone it works great on this type of thing.

Another vote for goo gone. Afta is also good.

Oops! works really well too.

If it's just masking tape and a little residue, alcohol should do it though.

I know it won't help you for now, but for next year I would suggest that you buy the blue masking tape. Painters use that tape and it leaves no residue.

I second that. Painters tape works great. I've also used a water proof tape that didn't leave any residue.

I just make sure never to tape paper to cupboards, shelves etc, just tape paper to another bit of the paper. (After I spent ages cleaning it off when I taped it to the wood/ formica).

Painters generally use masking tape. I sell some of my cupboards over Pesach and therefore tape them shut. Since the masking tape comes off so easily I find that it doesn't stick on the cupboards long enough and therefore doesn't serve its purpose.

Nail Varnish Remover works a treat on sticky residues! ...Though its still annoying to have to run all over the house getting rid of stickiness... Confused
