Simple citrus gel or solvex with the edge of a knife usually does the trick.

I would ask for more money if they want the bluetac off as it'll take longer to remove all those small bits.

I've always found Prochem Solvall rather than Solvex to be better for shifting Blutac.
If there isn't enough time to do the job right,  how do we find the time to go back and do it again when the customer is not happy ?   Do it right the 1st Time.

If you are doing a big area invest in a wallpaper steamer, you will recover the cost quickly from using less citrus gel and its less work. I assuming you haven't got a TM.

Hope you have priced well if they want it all out, and the staples, glitter and play dough.  ;D
It's not expensive, you just can't afford it.
