Sharon asked: I used the wrong cleaner on the outside of my microwave door. My new microwave had some spots of glue/adhesive on the outside (apparently holding a label to the door). I used some adhesive remover to remove the glue. The door is some sort of plastic instead of glass, and the result is a big, hazy spot in the middle of the door. Is there anything that can remove the hazy spot, and what is the best way to remove the rest of the glue that remains on the door? Thanks.
Some adhesives are similar to plastic when they are cured. Adhesive removers are designed to break this plastic down. Unfortunately, when it is applied to a plastic surface, it also starts to break down that plastic and results in a hazy finish. As long as the remover is completely washed away, it will not damage the plastic finish any further. For safe ways to remove adhesive from plastic, see our guide How to Remove Super Glue from Plastic and Vinyl.
