Do I have to clean the sticky residue with alcohol after taking them out of the light?

Yes-use rubbing alcohol on a lint free pad/cloth. You can get them at Sally's.

Hello. Yes, with the Polish I have I have to wipe off the sticky stuff. But I'm not sure if that is due to the lamp or the polish. I have used both uv and led lamps and have the same outcome. I really like this lamp though. Since I got one I have been doing my own nails at home often!

You clean the sticky residue with alcohol AFTER the top coat only. NOT after the previous coats of polish.

Absolutely. I suggest using 90% or higher if possible and make sure to rinse with hot water for a minute or two. Ive noticed if you dont rinse it well enough it leaves a white residue, not sure if its from the alcohol or remaining oils though lol

I peeled them very slowly .. then used warm, soapy water to get off sticky residue.

I used a product called Goo Gone, which is specially formulated to take off anything sticky. After that you have to clean the area with regular soap and water.

No problem. Wash by hand or in the dishwasher. Check for dried on residue if it's not washed right after use.

No sticky residue. You do need to follow the instructions n wipe them down after applying

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.

You can try buffing them with a very fine file in one direction from base to tip, then wipe them clean with an alcohol swab. Good Luck!

Not very well. It's more for regular light cleaning. I have some marks on my panels and leather. A little bit of rubbing alcohol takes it better and quicker

I never have had to clean film residue so not sure how to answer that. I have been very satisfied with its cleaning capabilities.

One of mine did leave a tiny bit behind, but it came right off when I wiped at it with my thumb. Other than that, it doesn't leave the yucky stick residue

Not unless there's something uneven you will see, like peeling varnish. Just clean them.

I have been there :-( Soak them with hydrogen peroxide and baking soda (or try oxyclean). Then scrub with a magic eraser and finish with a wipe down of 70% rubbing alcohol if you notice any spots remaining. You may have to repeat the process.

Did you clean the old paste off with rubbing alcohol first or just wipe the old stuff of?If you just wiped it off, there's your problem.

I don't know. I had the same thing on the ones I received. I cleaned the sticky off and have been using it since.

I typically clean the residue left with windex . But the glass does contine to soot up I'm afraid .
