Rubbermaid Shelving Product Warning-Inferior Product Warning

300x250 TSS Save 10% Coupon READ THIS-Before Installing a Rubbermaid Decorative Shelving Board in your Home or Office. Product Warning: Rubbermaid Decorative Shelving Units Will Not Stand Up to Normal Wear and Tear

  1. After Installing the Cherry Finished shelving for a Client, the Rubbermaid Product Sticker removed the Rubbermaid "cherry" Finish that was covering
    the mdf board and Ruined the Installation
  2. I then contacted the Rubbermaid Consumer Service and told them how removing the Manufacturer Sticker Removed the Cherry Finish and Ruined the Decorative Finish on the Board.
  3. Ms. Janet First, Consumer Service Representative Rubbermaid replied via email: 
  4. Rubbermaid Customer Service Reply 
  • "We regret any inconvenience you may have experienced in removing your Rubbermaid label from our wood and glass shelving.  We do extensive testing to assure that our consumers do not encounter difficulty when removing our labels.    
    • Our suggestion for removing the adhesive label is to use a hair dryer. 
    • Turn on the dryer at the medium heat setting and use it to warm the adhesive.  
    • Once you notice it is warm the label should peel right off.
    • If after removing the label you still feel stickiness, place a liberal
      amount of talcum powder on that area, allow it to stand for
      approximately 30 minutes, and then just rub it off.  These removal
      methods will not harm the finish of the product in any way."

    Here is My Reply: Ms J First,
    • "I think there is room for improvement with your product label.
    •  I do not own or carry a hair dryer in my tool box and do not plan to buy one or utilize one in any construction projects. 
    • As I mentioned: ...I will not use your rubbermaid products in the Future because if its that easy to remove the vinyl by removing the sticker then there is no way it will stand up to everyday wear and tear".
