Question
Several years ago I attached a spice holder to the interior of my kitchen cabinet door, using the supplied backing tape. I'd like to remove it...any ideas?

Answer
Start with a razor blade or knife and get most of it off as you can without hurting you or the cabinet. Try using vinegar. Apply the vinegar, let it sit a little while and try to get more off.

Chances are the tape over time has really gotten quite stuck to both the holder and the door. A good product like "goo gone" may also help.

Good luck.
