How To Remove Sticky Tape Glue From Plastic. Removing glue from plastic with vinegar you can dip a cloth into some vinegar and then lay this over the glue, leave for about 15 minutes to half an hour, and then clean. Remove a corner of the tape and lift the cloth slightly to see if the adhesive is loosening or softening.

If that doesn't work, try some dish soap or olive oil. Certain adhesive glues can be tackled using a hairdryer. Leave it for a few minutes, to give the solution time to soak into the adhesive.
