They were ap- plied at least 20 years ago, and they are chipping off be- cause of age, but leaving a residue of adhesive behind. What can I use to remove the adhesive layer? — Carole K., E-mail Dear Carole » Try WD- 40, the well-known lubri- cant that comes with a red straw. It works incredi- bly well to remove old glue left behind by non-slip de- cals in a tub or shower. It has a number of unique uses, and the ability to re- move old adhesive from a shower or tub is just one of many. Begin by drying the area thoroughly. Apply a liberal amount of WD-40 to the old adhesive, and allow it to soak in for at least ten min - utes. Use a plastic scraper to gently scrape away the old non-slip decal adhesive. Apply more WD-40, if nec - essary, and continue scrap- ing until the area is clean and free from decal adhesive. It should be easy to re - move, but the longer it has been in place, the more difficult it will be to scrape away. Normally, it will dissolve that kind of sticky residue on porcelain surfaces. However, if this doesn't completely do the job for you, I'm going to suggest you go with the mother of all sticky residue re - movers, a product called "Goof-Off" (about $5.99 for 16 ounces). You'll find it with the paint remover products in stores such as Home Depot or online. It is very strong stuff, but works like a charm. Read the label care - fully, and then test it in an inconspicuous place to make sure it does not react poorly with your tub's fin - ish. I have very high hopes that this will take care of your problem. Check goofoffproducts. com to learn more. Dear Mary » I am dis- mayed by an article you wrote giving people the impression that they can get rate reductions on their credit cards with just a phone call. Yes, I re - alize that you stated that, in a study, over 56 percent of those who made the call got their rate reduced an average of 5 percent or better. Well, I called two of my credit card compa - nies. Both answers were exactly the same. "Unfor- tunately this is the best rate we can offer at this time." My rate on one is 24.98 percent. This is cer - tainly not as easy as you seem to think. — Karen B., California Dear Karen » Perhaps you gave up too quickly. And did you ask to speak with a supervisor? If you have a bad payment history, they are not going to be very co - operative. But if I were you, I wouldn't give up so eas- ily. Call every day but at dif- ferent times of the day so you don't keep talking to the same person. By the way, you do realize that a 56 percent success rate still leaves 44 percent who were not successful, right? There are no guarantees here. I'm just telling you what a great number of people have found to be true. Read on ... Dear Mary » Some time ago you suggested calling our credit card company's customer service phone number to request a re - duction in interest rates. I have five credit cards, which I'm trying to elimi- nate, one of which carries a balance of over $19,000 with an APR of 19 percent. I called them this after - noon, and they lowered my interest rate to 8.99 per- cent on the spot. That is HUGE. This will save me big money.
