Hints on Getting Old Stickers off Glass Windows

Use "Undo" You can get it at Walmart, Micheal's etc...It also elps to remove gum and other sticky stuff

You can keep vodka in the freezer. Yes, they do sell it in mini shot-size containers at Circle K or liquer stores. I think the rubbing alcohol will work the best and is probably the least expensive method.

try Goo-gone (I think you can find it in the automotive section) it works wonders... My mom got candle wax out of her carpet with this....good luck

thiers this stuff called Goo Gone you can get it at Michaels or sometimes rite aid or cvs will have it.

try a cotton ball saturated with nail polish remover! that should do it! :)

lighter fluid also works.

Rubbing alcohol.
By the way, rubbing alcohol or hair spray gets house paint off of surfaces as well, and can be used to remove paint from clothes too. We've also used rubbing alcohol to remove markers and other "scribbling" my kids have drawn on our walls! Works great.

*by the way, we both have the same initials for our profile!

I recently read that vinegar works.

A product called un-do will get it off you can get it at michaels or a scrapbooking store

The best thing to use that works is Goo Gone. You can get it at most stores.

The easiest thing that I have used to get the sticky off of anything is goo gone it is great stuff you can find it at any home improvement store. I have also used WD-40 as well and it works pretty good if you can't find goo gone!

Good Luck!

I use Avon's Skin So Soft Bath oil. I would guess any oil or maybe even cleaners would work. I rub it on the stickers until they get wet then they almost wipe right off!

Morning SH,
I use nail polish remover and the old glue comes right off.

Try rubbing alcohol

A product called Goo Gone will do the trick.

If you have essential oils, most of them will work to loosen then just scrap it up, with a razorblade if you have one. If not anything flat, a credit card, etc.

Try goo gone. They sell it at Michaels Arts & Crafts Store. Good Luck!

I have the perfect remedy! You will be amazed at how fast the stickers will come off. The solution: VODKA . Its true. I use it for many things. Pour some on a paper towel , hold it on the stickers for a minute or so and wahla the stickers will be gone. Try it and let me know how it works for you.
C.

I've used basic-h full strength to remove all the super sticky stuff :O)

Marie-anne

There is a product called "Goo Gone" - you can buy it at Target or Albertsons...it takes off any sticky mess - stickers,temp tattoos, etc.

Nail Polish remover! Use a cotton ball in a circular motion Works Great!!!

Goo Gone. Available at hardward stores and other locations.

nail polish remover should do it

Just use rubbing alcohol.

S.

Peanut butter removes ANYTHING sticky!

Try these: peanut butter then clean with windex. Or there is a product out there called Goo gone, I think Target and Walmart sell it. Good luck.

Have you tried spraying some windex or something on it to get it wet so it will come off easier?

GOD IS GOOD.... Amen!!!

Goo Gone is a great product!! Acetone will do the trick too!

God bless you..

I have always used Windex. Spray it on there...let it sit for a minute and wipe.

You have great responses - I have not tried goo-gone because I use desolve-it. It has a nice lemony smell and takes off EVERYTHING! Good luck!

There is a product called UnDo that removes any sticky adhesive. It's also safe for scrapbooking and on furniture. It's fabulous.

M.

Goo Gone or WD40 work great on stickers. And you actually need a sharp blade. You can get one that has a holder on it (the long way) for safety.

Good luck!

Rubbing alcohol usually works. If not, try Goo-Gone.

You could try nail polish remover. There's also this stuff called Goo Gone that is made specifically for removing the sticky residue from stickers and such - I think you can find it at hardware stores.

I have found this wonderful stuff called "De-Solv-it", not only will it remove the stickey from the old stickers, it removes gum (out of hair) and super glue (even Gorilla Glue, for those of you who have used that, NOTHING gets rid of that, but this does!) I have only been able to find it at Walmart, it runs around 4.00 (www.de-solv-it.com) but it cleans everything!

Use Goo Gone, its a product you can find just about anywhere (grocery store, walmart, target, etc.). It works great!

A product called: Goop be Gone!

There is a product I've used for years called Desolve It or close to that. If you put some on the sticky part and let it sit for a minute, you should be able to scrape the rest off. Hope this helps.

I have used a little canola oil spray, let it sit for a minute and then the sticky part should come right off. Good luck - it has worked wonders for me!!

Hi there!

I used to sell cars and we would spray the window with window cleaner and while it was still dripping wet, use a new razor to scrape off the sticker. It's amazing how much easier it will be using the cleaner first.

YES! I've had the same problem, I have 3 kids myself ages 11,9, and 7. I use my trusty GOO GONE that you can get at any grocery store or hardware store. I use it to get gum off the carpet, or stickers. It has been a life saver while raising my kids!

Try using a little alcohol or fingernail polish remover for the sticky glue. Be careful not to spill on other surfaces.

They sell stuff to get stickers off windows and other sticky things like it, i'm pretty sure it is called goo gone i used to use it at a store i worked for and i would just put a little on the sticky part and then scrape it off with a razor blade, it came off right away. I think you can get it pretty much anywhere like wal-mart or probably target or home depot.

Try OOPS waterbased spray. Its a cleaner and a remover. It helps get the stickers off of glass and even paint smudges. Kinda stinky but works great!! Good luck.

Use Goo Gone. It is oily and gets the stuff off nicely, but you wouldn't want to put it on something where it would get stained by oil. I don't know exactly who it is by but if you go to Walmart or the NEX even you might find it there. It works wonders.

try a little WD-40 (the industrial lubricant, you can get it anywhere that sells car stuff). It will eat sticky stuff off glass.

There is this stuff called "Goo Gone" and it works wonders. here is the website http://www.googone.com/googone.aspx

Good luck!

a non-chemical way to try is a wet wash cloth, a razor blade and a hair dryer. The hair dryer can heat up the sticker making it come off easier. Use the wet wash cloth to wipe off the small parts and thee razor blade to scrape.

Baby oil. It is great for getting sticky gunk off anything. Just rub some baby oil on it and use your blade or one of those course sponges.

For further reference. Take a blow dryer and point it right
on the sticker. Once you warm it up, it will come right off.
Now that you have tried with the a razor. Take either Goof-off and rub it into the glue , or fingernail polish remover.
I know I had to learn this one the hard way too !!!
N.

the best and easy thing to use is lighter fluid the kind the is used to fill zippo lighters. works on any thing.

There's a brand called GOO GONE. They make ink remover, adhesive remover and stuff to take off gum off carpets. I found it at Wal-MArt and at Home Depot? Worked really well, I used it so much I don't have anymore so I can't tell you the exact name.
Good luck

You may not need this anymore, but someone may find it useful... mayonnaise, spread liberally over the area and let it sit for a little while, then wipe off. Peanut butter works too, and it will work on bumper stickers to get them off the car... oh, and you can use both of these on stickers stuck to wood (like stuck to a dresser) and it won't hurt the wood. Good luck!

I have used rubbing alcolhol (sp) when getting gummy sticky stuff off of surfaces... Lots of Luck hope it works... LR

i have used rubbing alcohol.i don't remember where i heard that,but i tried it once on a glass table and it seemed to work well. You have to rub a little bit, but it got all the sticky part off . I know it is frustrating getting those old stickers off. I hope this helps.

You can use WD40 to remove the sticky glue from most things. Mineral spirits also work to remove the glue. Hope this helps.

Goof off or Goo Gone will both take that off. Another good tip for Goo Gone is laundry grease stains- it takes them right out.

olive oil or baby oil!

nail polish remover. it takes sap off your car too.

Try ammonia.
M., retired Navy wife, mother of 4

Goo Gone works wonders!

Oh it's actually very easy. Try straight ammonia or a sollution of ammonia & dawn liquid soap.
Good Luck!

What really has worked for me is a product called "goo gone" it's a clear, medium sized bottle and the liquid color is orange. Try it.

I've used baby oil and Goo-Gone before on car windows and they both work. You basically need to get it oily, olive oil might even work.
Good luck
J.

I use a straight blade (sharp) to get the actual sticker off and alcohol or nail polish remover gets the gum from the sticker off. Good luck and God Bless You (especially if you are in military housing and trying to clean).

Elmer's glue co makes Sticky Outand there is another product at the hardware store called Goof Off. Use a cotton ball saturated with either product to get all the residue off the surface after you have removed the sticker with the dull blade
Good luck - J.

Goo-Gone, or Windex - if you can let it sit for a minute or two. you can get Trial size bottles of vodka at basically any liquor store - typically at the check out - they are the size they give you on airlines.. about a shot and a half. or you can just buy a bottle. It takes a few years for vodka to go bad.

Goo Gone is a product you can get at your local store such as Target, Wal-Mart or sometimes ice may help make the sticky stuff on stickers less sticky so it can peel off more easily.

If you go to the comissary, they have some stuff. Called goo gone or something like that. It is on the end of the aisle or in the middle where they have odd items hanging. I hope this helps.

A product called GooGone works great on many things.

Try rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover and a razor blade. Good Luck! J.

Hi!
The remaining residue from the stickers should come off with some rubbing alcohol and cotton balls. I use this all the time and it has always worked for me.

try using windex and a blade.
GOOD LUCK

Nail Polish remover and an old bath loofah work wonders!! Good Luck! --P.S. this also works with Gum, stickers and other goo on floors --but try a hidden spot--The acetone will eat some wood floor varnish and some linoleums!

Try using acetone nail polish remover or GooGone

I've tried Goo Gone and other stuff, but the best thing ever is the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser-gets it off easy and no oily mess like with the Goo Gone.

Spray a little WD40 on it and let it sit for a few minutes and it should come right off.

L.

Good, old fashioned rubbing alcohol works for me!

I love Un-Du. You can buy at it at Michaels and Walmart . Usually in the scrapbooking section. There is also this great Orange Solvent( name anyone?) that gets gum out of carpet etc. I think this can be found in the cleaner section of Walmart or other places like that.
Hope this helps.

Goo Gone
It's available everywhere, great stuff
good luck

Hello, I worked in a preschool, and we always used goo-gone. It works pretty good and you can get it at wal-mart and other stores like that. Also my mom used to use lighter fluid(to fill a zippo lighter) on sticky stuff like lables, gum ect... Always came off, kind-of strong smelling though. Good Luck!!

I use citri-solve, it's a citrus concentrate you can pick up at almost any grocery store in the laundry section. it works great on tar, glue, stickers, gum....and totaly safe. also works great diluted with water to control ants.

I have used two items. One is called De-Solv-it and you can find in the cleaning area of any grocery store. It is great to spray on and sticky stuff comes off of anything. I just hate it when you buy picture frames that have price stickers right on the front and you can't remove. This works great gum, tape residue and most anything. Also, I have used nail polish remover if it is used on glass or anything it will not harm. Hope this helps. I am a proud Mother of 5 and a blessed Grandma of 6 beautiful girls, so I have experience. K.

SH, Try baby oil and a scrubby sponge (I use Dobbie Pads). If the sticky part still stays on, let the baby oil or even olive oil set for a few minutes then scrub it off. Good luck!

Get an amazing can of goof off, it is a liquid found at lowe's etc. It is smelly, but it will release that gunk with easy...when spread on the area with a cloth and then wiped clean..a little goes a long way..be sure to have ventilation when using the product! It works!

Hi S H,

Try using a little baby oil on a q-tip. It works great for me.

L

I've found that lighter fluid works - you can find it at most grocery stores.

I see you got a ton of responses already. I just had to put in my two cents worth having been there myself.
My husband is a true handyman when it comes to things like this, and we both swear by ACETONE, which is found in paint thinner, and NAIL POLISH REMOVER. Just be careful because it does remove paint too, so if there is a spill you may remove more stuff than you wish! As a kid my sister and I once spilled nail polish remover on our bedroom floor. We had those cheap tiles like you see in old grocery stores, and it ate a big white spot into the design on our floor. Good stuff though, it really eats away that glue from stickers!
Have fun with that!

Hi there is an item called Goo Gone that works great. You can get it just about anywhere, drug stores, Target, Walmart, Hardware stores, etc. Hope this helps, H. A.

try scrubbing it with a scratch pad like you would use for your dishes and rubbing alcohol. It might take a little elbow grease, but the alcohol should loosen the adhesive.

Believe it or not hairspray will get old stickers and glue off of glass..

Windex with that razor blade should do the trick! We've done it! :) Let me know how it works!

Hi

Just wanted to offer a suggestion. I have always used finger-nail polish remover and a few cotton balls. I put the remover on the cotton and then hold it against the sticky glue on the window. The remover softens the glue and then you can use a blade to scrape the window lightly. The glue will soften and push into a ball and then be easy to remove. It is good when you get the glue off to clean the mirror/window with window cleaner to remove the oily polish remover. I have used it for years and have always had good results. Good luck.
D.

You can try "Goo Gone" or acetone. The Goo Gone is a bit oily but it usually does the trick for me.

SH,

Try using a product called "Goo Off". It's wonderful for taking out a lot of things like stickers, gum, etc.

rubbing alcohol. I use to work in retail and it worked everytime on the large store front windows. Just use a cotton ball to soak the residue, then rub off with a sponge.

Goo gone
Windex
goof off

WD-40 will get all the residue off of any glass surface.

Try nail polish remover! It's always worked for me!

Hi.Try useing nail polish remover,or a soft claenser.Good luck

I use either W-D 40 or Goo Gone works.
My daughter had someone put a sticker on the bummer of her car a couple of weeks ago and we used W-D 40. It came right off. No damage to the painted bummer of her Toyota.
Good Luck.

GOD IS GOOD!!! just thought I would add that! Also, I'm sure that you have heard somewhere of goo-gone. It's amazing. just squirt some on the spot, let it set and then use your scraper. It works wonders every time!

the best way to get the sticky stuff off is to use goo gone. you can get it at wal mart with all of the car stuff. it comes in a clear bottle. it has other uses also.

I don't know, and would like to see what advice you get.

E.;)

Hi S H!
We use Goo Gone OR Baby Oil.
Good Luck!!!
~R.

baby oil or googone both work great.

Hi-
You can buy this stuff called Goof Off at Home Depot in the cleaner aisle- it stinks ALOT but works great. Good luck!

Rubbing alcohol works wonders!!!!!!! It can clean most anything off of glass!

There's a product called goo gone. It works really well.

try a product called goo gone...works every time.

I keep a natural solvent product on hand for that and many other purposes. It's not toxic!

"Goof Off" works great! Found at most stores like Wal-Mart, etc. Once you use the Goof Off, then you need window cleaner to clean the window afterward.

use nail polish remover. It works like a charm!
