How do you remove adhesive on a new baking sheet?

To remove adhesive from a new baking sheet, you can try the following methods:

1. Rubbing alcohol: Dip a cotton ball or a soft cloth in rubbing alcohol and gently rub the adhesive until it starts to come off. You may need to apply a bit of pressure, but be careful not to scratch the baking sheet.

2. WD-40: Spray a small amount of WD-40 onto the adhesive and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, use a soft cloth to wipe it off. Be sure to wash the baking sheet thoroughly with soap and water before using it to remove any remaining WD-40.

3. Acetone (nail polish remover): Acetone is a strong solvent that can remove adhesives, but it is also important to use caution when using it, as it can also damage the baking sheet if left on for too long. Apply a small amount of acetone to a cotton ball and gently rub the adhesive until it comes off. Rinse the baking sheet thoroughly with water immediately afterwards.

4. Goo Gone: Goo Gone is a commercial product specifically designed to remove adhesive residue. Follow the instructions on the product label to use it safely and effectively. Be sure to test it on a small area of the baking sheet first to make sure it doesn't damage the finish.

5. Heat: Applying heat can also help soften the adhesive and make it easier to remove. You can either use a hair dryer or place the baking sheet in a warm oven (no higher than 200°F) for a few minutes. Once the adhesive is heated, use a soft cloth to gently rub it off.

6. Use a plastic scraper

After trying any of these methods, be sure to wash the baking sheet thoroughly with warm soapy water and dry it completely before using it.
