tape residue
Leftover sticky film
Tape residue is the sticky film left behind when adhesive tape is removed from a surface.
The residue collects dust and grime, becoming increasingly visible and difficult to remove over time: I spent an hour scrubbing tape residue off the window.
Common solvents include rubbing alcohol, oil, and commercial adhesive removers.
