Goof Off remover is for do-it-yourself cleanup of paint, adhesive and sticky messes around the house. The range gives you a way to match the mess to the surface, from Pro Strength for hard surfaces to formulas for specific paint-cleanup jobs.

Goof Off is a remover brand in the Barr Brands portfolio. It’s known for heavy-duty cleanup products for messes around the home. Its products cover paint, adhesives, graffiti and grease.

Pro Strength for paint and adhesive cleanup

Pro Strength Remover is an aerosol for messes on hard surfaces. Pro Strength Exact Spray handles dried latex paint, adhesive, glue, asphalt and tar. That makes it useful after painting or removing something glued down. Exact Spray offers broad spraying for larger areas and targeted application for smaller spots.

Pro Strength also removes wax, stickers, decals and caulk. The mistake to avoid is choosing by the mess and forgetting the surface underneath it. On a painted or finished surface, test a hidden spot first and follow the application and cleanup directions on your exact container.

For the sticky patch a label leaves behind, Marks, Messes, and Stains Remover is another Goof Off option for sticker residue.
