Recently I was working on a project organizing my kitchen drawers. They had some awful contact paper stuck on them from when we moved in. When I peeled the contact paper up it left behind a sticky mess.
I planned on cleaning up the sticky mess with some goo gone, but I didn’t want to use the stuff you buy in the store. The store-bought goo gone has all sorts of gross ingredients like kerosene and smells bad. I really didn’t want to put that around my cooking utensils.
I decided instead to make up my own goo gone. It works just as well as the store-bought but smells way better.
It took care of the sticky mess on my kitchen drawers quickly and without scrubbing. If you are wanting a good-smelling goo gone check out how to make homemade goo gone.
