How do you get the residue of adhesive from Kinoki detox pads off ? I tried rubbing alcohol, and in desperation a lighter fluid. I am still sticking.

I usually soaked my feet in a warm bath the next morning to let it soften then just gave it a good rub with my fingers. You may want to try petroleum or baby oil instead of something so harsh. I found that some packages have stickier tape than others which I didn't like.

Revision to my comment! I've tried all of the water based solvents and found it was not working that well. Try Crown PSC1000 parts cleaner from Tractor Supply. It is petroleum based, no smell, low flash point and does a great job of removing oil and grease. Sorry, I was mistaken about the Kafko, we threw that out and replaced it with the Crown in our parts cleaning tank and are now very pleased.

You just take off the pad. It leaves no adhesive like substance on your foot.

I found that if the pads are not making sticking great you get a shock. When that starts I usually tape them down with medical tape (I use the type for sensitive skin). This has caused me to look for better pads. I found healthmateforever are better than no name

Any residue can be removed with rubbing alcohol or the Magic Eraser. When using rubbing alcohol wet residue with alcohol and wait 5 min, wipe firmly with dry paper towel. When using the Magic Eraser wet residue with water and wait 5 min, use Magic Eraser as directed. This information is printed on the back of the label. Good question.

You don't have to clean the pads after every use. What works for me in terms of prolonging the life of the pads is to use a baby wipe and wet it with isopropyl alcohol and use it to clean the pads. You'll want to make sure that you have sufficient alcohol on the wipe to prevent any sticking. Once you have cleaned the pads just let the alcohol evaporate from the pad.

I personally have not had any issue of residue on mine, so not really sure what to advise you except maybe try vinegar/water solution and wipe it down. Good luck and maybe another member can help.

I did have an issue with that as well. I used alcohol pads and eventually got it off.

I agree with what the other people have written. I just want to add that gel polish makers are starting to put kits out for sale to remove the gel. It's the same stuff, just more convenient. Putting the cotton pads and foil on is the best method IMHO. I didn't have as much success with the acetone in a bowl

Try to use some alcohol prep pad and scrub off the dirt and grime. That is the only way I can think of.

None. The pads have sufficient adhesive gel and will stick for many uses. When it no longer sticks, just replace them.

I pre-treat with stain remover, use liquid chlorine bleach and laundry detergent in cold water. You will never get the stains out completely but even if stained the pads are clean. What difference could it possibly make?

Use uni solve adhesive remover wipes. You can order it from Amazon. Works great!

I use bar keepers friend. It is usually next to powdered Comet in the cleaning section. A little of it on a scrubby sponge and its good as new.

I've never had a problem at all with any residue sticking to my foot, but I agree that a little rubbing alcohol would remove it, if it happened. Mine always just peel right off when I want them too and never leave anything behind.

OK--Here's what I do. I just removed years of buildup with this method . I have parquet flooring that were dulled from of never really cleaning floor and tried many products- like Bono. Here's what I did-- I put rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle undiluted. I sprayed it on a portion of floor to test it first. Spray on and let it sit for a few minutes. I used a little plastic curly pot scrubber in the direction of the grain and it practically lifted the accumulation by itself without a lot of pressure. Follow immediately with a slightly dampened microfiber cloth. I did my entire floor on my hands and knees using plain old alcohol. It evaporates very quickly and unlike water, will not damage wood. You will find that the old floor shine will form black "nubbies" which you swipe into a dustpan and brush. I carefully researched how-to's and found that windex works as well because it contains alcohol. The key ingredient here is the alcohol- just like the nurse rubs it on before a shot to remove skin oil and disinfect, it does the same on floor. This experience really changed my whole approach to hardwood maintenance. QucikShine is something I will never use again. It's not healthy for the wood. My alcohol stripped floors have a beautiful glow, and I will keep them that way by vacuuming up dust and swiffering often That's what the experts recommend. Twice a year is all the deep cleaning your floor needs to last a long time. Hope this helps. I'm crazy clean!

I suggest using a cloth or paper towel and putting some rubbing alcohol. Then have a dry cloth or towel to wipe any residue off. That is what I do.
