Best thing to clean up sticky mouse trap goo?

[indaswamp]

Had one of those sticky mouse traps on top of the freezer I am converting to a salumi maturing chamber. It must have flipped on it's side when I loaded it into the back of the truck. Anyways, the sticky goo is now on the metal on the roof. What is the best solvent to use to clean it? Anyone know before I do some trial and error?

I've used Goo Gone with good success for other sticky residue messes

Edit.....Goof Off not Goo Gone

Thanks Jake! That might work....

Goo Gone is great. 3M general purpose adhesive remover is the best thing ever, just hard to find.

I asked duck duck go....turpentine or paint thinner; of which I have both. Goo gone works too...

If your in a pinch coat it with creamy peanut butter. Let it sit a spell and then wipe it off with a clean rag or old tooth brush.

I have heard vinegar works to dissolve the glue.

I tried to catch him without hurting him with no luck, Slid 2 of the sticky pads under the bed in their bedroom,I was outside when I hard her screech my name , granddaughter had 1 stuck on each hand , glad she don't cuss lol , she thought they had poison on them and was ready to rush to the hospital . She still hates them

MEK, acetone, toluene or paint brush cleaner. All are chemical solvents.

I always use goo gone. Let it sit on the sticky stuff for a little bit before you go scrubbing!

WD-40 or lighter fluid .

LOL My first 2 solvents choices. If those don't do it, acetone. That said, HOT water and Oxyclean is my goto and works 90% of the time.

 

[chopsaw]

I was trying to remember goof off. Glad it was mentioned . WD 40 works better for this than it dies for rusty bolts .

Thanks fellas! Lots of options.
