A Sticky Situation

Back during the holiday time I had the cute idea of putting our initials on our front door as part of our Christmas decorations. They looked especially beautiful frosted in snow. That was in December. Come January I decided to take the letters down when I packed up the rest of the Christmas decor. The only problem was that I couldn't get off the Velcro sticky circles that I used to hung them. So since January we had 6 little Velcro circles stuck to our door. Hmm, how could we get those off of our door? I googled the problem, of course. I found out that you can use a hair dryer's heat to make the sticky get loose and then peel off the Velcro.

3 months later, on April 1st, I decided to actually try this. So I plugged in my beautiful hot pink hair dryer on Thursday night and stood there shooting hot air at the door. Oh hello, neighbors. Yes, I am using my hair dryer on my door. No, I'm not crazy, just clever.... it actually worked! Wow. I should have followed my google advice months ago. The only problem left was that the Velcro left a sticky residue on our door. No worries though. I used another wonderful product, Goo Gone. I actually invented Goo Gone as a child except that I simply called it UN. Something stuck and you need it unstuck? Use a little UN. I really tried to market it to my parents. But I never patented it and those spies at Goo Gone stole my idea. Anyway, I used Goo Gone and now we have a nice clean door. The end.
