I’ve used hand sanitizer to remove the sticker residue. I actually discovered that when I was working in retail. Little kids or my goofball teenage co-workers would put the stickers on the bagging area when it was slow. It helps to loosen the stickers they are easier to remove.

My husband used packing tape to keep the drawers of a wooden chest from coming out while moving.
I’ve tried Goo Gone and oil, but it still won’t come off.
Anyone have any ideas on what will work without ruining the finish?

In reply to Debra Morse. Use for leftovers instead of plastic. Food stays fresher, jars take up less room, you can see what's in the jar better than plastic, cheaper (free!) than buying plastic, freeze stuff in jars easily, safely. Example, you can store a dozen eggs (cracked) in a jar, cut lemons, nuts in jars. They stay fresh much longer and can also freeze them of even a longer time.

This was so timely — would you believe I just took a sticker off a soap bottle this morning, leaving residue, and then your email arrived? Now I will have fun deciding which method to try. I think I might go with coconut oil and baking soda.

On a somewhat related matter, I recently pulled up a bathroom rug and (very embarrassingly) there is glue residue on the flooring. Not so much sticky, more like cement. Anyone have thoughts on that? I think there is a product I can get at home improvement store, but wondered about suggestions. (Sorry to change the topic but it is kind of on topic, no?

PAM or any type of baking/cooking spray works fast. Spray on sticky surface, wait a few minutes removes sticker residue easily

In reply to Marlene. Also, you want to first clean the glass so you are not scratching it with the minute particles of dirt on the glass while scraping it with the blade.
