How can you remove the residue that adhesive tape leaves behind?

The Best way is with a Surgical cleanser

Scrub Care

Exidine

-2 CHG 2%

Chlorhexidine Gluconate 2% Solution

It is what they use in surgery to prep patients with and also what they scrub with prior to performing surgery. You may be able to find it at a Home Health Agency type place or ask your physician if they could supply you for a charge with a bottle. Just a drop on a sponge is all you need and it will clean a very large area.

The distributor is Cardinal Health - McGaw Park,IL 60085

For questions you can call 1-773-268-5800 M-F 8am - 4:30pm (got it off the bottle)

Sometimes they can tell you if they supply people outside of the medical facilities or where you can obtain their products (i.e. Home Care Stores, online, etc.).

Next good way is:

Rubbing alcohol (Painful if abrasions are on skin) or Fingernail polish remover works
