- Do you have something that has very sticky, tacky plastic on it? It could be a remote, electronic buttons, stereo equipment, toys and more! I have figured out once and for all how to clean them! I tried rubbing alcohol, essential oils and more, but today I am sharing the easiest of all cleaning hacks for sticky, tacky plastic.
I couldn't find the Ball Herb Shaker Caps, but I did find a similar jar cap that would work on regular mouth mason jars: amzn.to/3XwKjSJ

Let me know if you tried this cleaning hack and how it worked!
Perfect solution! Worked wonderfully, very easy to do, and my remote control feels smooth again.
So glad to hear it!
Great tip. Best solution so far. Without polluting and very little waste. Easily solved my issues. Thank you
I'm glad it helped!
This worked for my vinyl massage table when like you I had tried everything. Thanks!!!
Gonna try this
This is fabulous, thank you so much for sharing! I want to recycle some of my old makeup tubes (that are extremely sticky and gunked up) and I can't until they're clean, so I'm super excited to try this out!!! And the fact that you only need baking soda and water is wonderful, so many other tutorials have half a dozen products - this is simple and effective! 🩷
I'm so glad this has been helpful to you!!
worked great on my old Harbor Freight plastic LED light- great tip thank you
This totally works... I have tried so many things over the years with different things... and with some rather toxic stuff... that did not work. I had a small audio amp and I picked it up and it was so tacky. I almost threw it away because of my prior experience. It didn't really take that long but yes, you have to press down and move back and forth and keep the cloth wet with the paste and dip the cloth very often. Thank you!
Tried acetone, alcohol... But this is what really worked for me! Thanks a lot
This worked excellent on an old rangefinder my husband has. 👍
Amazing! Simple and effective!
Thank you for the tip! It worked for my spinning pen toy. I took apart the pen and scrub a plastic part with baking soda paste for testing. The part became clean and no sticky at all after I washed it with water. I had tried alcohol 70%; it was a mess.
Gonna have to try this.
Thank you.
It totally worked on my ski helmet! Thank you for this video
AWESOME! I'm happy to hear that.
It worked great!
Thank you so much. That baking soda worked wonders. ❤💯👍
I'm so glad it worked for you!!!
Be careful next to electronics as baking soda can make metal parts rust
Super skeptical about this until I successfully did it myself! I have an "old" computer hard drive enclosure (USB) made of plastic that you can swap out the 2.5" hard or solid state drive from. The case was gross and made worse by me trying to use damp paper towels to clean it off. So now it was sticky and covered in fibers. I pulled out some old baking soda from one of those freezer/refrigerator arm and hammer boxes that had been in there WAY too long (literal years) and was destined for the trash. Worked like a charm! Two for one, got to reuse old baking soda and renewed my SSD enclosure! (Note I did disassemble the enclosure to take out all the electronic parts.
So glad it worked for you!
Brilliant! It worked perfectly on the handle of a magnifying glass that I was afraid I’d have to toss since it was so unpleasantly sticky. Thank you!
Yeah!!!
I think the rubbing is the most important part. I've rubbed off sticky plastic with only my finger and some pressure. The baking soda likely absorbs some of the oily stuff and works as an abrasive to scrub it off.
Thank you so much for the solution, it worked perfectly. I used a toothbrush to scrub, I cleaned and old controller that was already yellow and now it looks brand new.
I'm so happy it worked for you!!! Thank you for sharing!
rub hard with baking soda and water
It's works quickly.thanks
I am glad it was helpful for you!
I almost tossed my SkullCandy headphones out, I tried everyone here but your baking soda actually worked!!! Thank you so much, to purchase a new set of headphones by Skullcandy is most definitely not cheap, so Thank You!!!!
I'm so happy it helped AND saved you money!!!!
I'm going to try this on my range hood.
Please let me know how it turns out!
OK... I was very skeptical about this. I have tried a lot of products that don't work. I even tried degreaser... Baking soda works amazingly well... I just rubbed it on with my fingers like you show, on some very sticky yellowed plastic and the sticky layer just comes off. Thank you!
Pro tip... Try this with a soft brush like a toothbrush. Same result, but 100 times faster
@@Fr3ddeh Thank you for your response and the additional tip!!!
Didn't work for my Amazon Fire remote 😞
My “Bella Rocket Extract Pro Plus” blender which is black plastic turned sticky all over. I’ve also seen this on umbrella handles, especially when they’re left in the car for a few months. I think it might happen more to BLACK plastic than to other colours.
By the way, I used bounty paper towels and 70% isopropyl alcohol to clean it, I had to rub hard.
I have a battery bank that has this same situation just like my umbrella handle which seemed to degrade into a sticky gunk. Why the hell does this happen?
@SteveBlount79 The chemicals in the plastic start to break down. If you're lucky it just makes them sticky. I had the button on my car's shifter handle just fall apart into sticky pieces. Possibly they used too much plasticizer in the plastic button because other parts were fine.
@RM_FX thanks for the awesome reply 👌
nice ! it worked on my logitech mouse. the side (2 part rubber) is so sticky. I had trauma cleaning using acetone or isopropyl alcohol since it makes rubber worse. this method is safer, and my sticky rubber is turn to matte again
Yeah! I'm so glad to hear it!
why not put the baking soda paste on an earbud or a piece of cloth and rub it off?
USE Hand Sanitiser Gel !!!!!!
I just tried that and it didn't work for the sticky, tacky plastic.
Acetone
Why do you kinda sound like Winona Ryder 🙏
