Quick guide from the manual

This manual provides instructions for the proper application, maintenance, and removal of adhesive stickers designed for doors, trash cans, and furniture. For optimal performance, ensure the target surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oil. Avoid application in extreme temperatures (below 10°C/50°F or above 35°C/95°F) or high humidity environments.

Preparation

Before applying the sticker, gather the necessary materials: a clean cloth, an alcohol wipe (optional for heavy dirt), a dry towel, and a scraper or credit card for smoothing. Ensure the target surface is clean and dry. If the surface is newly painted, wait at least 72 hours for the paint to fully cure.

Installation Steps

Follow these steps for a smooth application:

  1. Clean the Surface: Wipe the area with a clean cloth. Use an alcohol wipe for stubborn stains and dry thoroughly.
  2. Position the Sticker: Peel off 1-2 inches of the backing paper from one corner. Align the sticker and lightly press the exposed adhesive to fix it temporarily.
  3. Smooth and Peel: Gradually peel off the remaining backing paper while using a scraper or credit card to smooth the sticker from the fixed corner outward to prevent air bubbles.
  4. Final Check: Press the entire sticker firmly with your hand or scraper. For curved surfaces, apply gentle pressure and adjust gradually to fit the contour.

Specific Notes for Different Types

  • Door Stickers: Avoid applying near hinges or edges that rub against other surfaces. Ensure glass doors are free of water spots.
  • Trash Can Stickers: Choose a flat area away from the opening. Test a small corner first if the trash can is made of porous material.
  • Furniture Stickers: Do not apply on surfaces with peeling paint or varnish. For wooden furniture, avoid direct sunlight exposure after installation.

Maintenance and Removal

Keep stickers away from sharp objects. For waterproof stickers, clean with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals like bleach or acetone. If edges lift, press firmly to re-adhere.

Safe Removal:

  1. Warm the sticker with a hair dryer on low heat for 1-2 minutes to soften the adhesive.
  2. Peel slowly and parallel to the surface, starting from one corner. Do not pull upward forcefully.
  3. Remove any remaining residue with a cloth dipped in alcohol or a mild adhesive remover.
