How do I remove a sticker from my product?

For most product stickers, the best way to remove them is by peeling slowly and carefully. If that does not work, we have a few tips below. Note that toppling furniture labels are permanent and must not be removed.

Standard product sticker

Most IKEA products have a sticker showing the article number and other product information. Here is how to remove it cleanly.
  • Peel the sticker back slowly. Pulling too quickly may leave residue or tear the sticker.
  • For glass or plastic surfaces, apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol or eucalyptus oil and rub gently.
  • For items that can be submerged, soak in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before gently scrubbing.
  • If glue residue is left behind, use a soft eraser to rub it away.

Toppling furniture label

Toppling furniture labels are permanent, durable, and must not be removed.
IKEA introduced these labels in compliance with the Australian Government's mandatory standard for toppling furniture, which aims to reduce the risk of death and injury. These labels serve as a visible warning to keep furniture secured to the wall.
To learn more about how IKEA Australia meets these requirements, read the Toppling Furniture article.
