Sticky Goo

There is a product called "goo gone" or something to that affect. It works great, it's not really expensive either!

There is some stuff at the store you can buy called goo gone. It works wonders. Gum, stickers, anything sticky.

Peanut butter will remove anything sticking to anything! I once used it to remove a poster from a wall-then I had to clean the wall from the peanut butter however it did not remove the wall. My daughter recently had the same problem you have with a dish and she did the peanut butter and yes it took the sticker right out. (leave it set for at least 15 minutes). Then she simply washed her dish. And it was one of those non-stick dishes you cannot use sharp thigs on. This is great and cheap!

There are products you can purchase that will work, but there are items you probably already have around your house that will do the job just as well. I use rubbing alcohol or vegetable oil. If neither of those work, you can also try a degreasing cleaner, baby oil, nail polish remover...Many options. Of course there's always the duct tape method. Just keep sticking the duct tape on the goo and pulling it off until the goo is all gone.

BEST METHOD: take flour, wet down the sticky residue, sprinkle dry flour and rub in well. Take wet/damp towel and rub off. No need for pam, oil or WD-40!

goo gone...works well for many things like that. though window cleaner does too if you have some around.

a bottle of goo gone. i used to use it when i worked in a video store, i'd make displays and signs to stick to the counters and when it was time to take them off, i'd have that sticky mess left behind. goo gone took care of it.

Goo Be Gone can be found many places and works great. It comes in a small bottle and is orange scented. I have also tried (and it worked) wd-40 and baby oil.

K., I know you may have already tried some of the suggestions and I'm a bit late in replying. I wouldn't use lighter fluid, rubbing alcohol, WD40, Goo Gone, nail polish remover or acetone on anything I would later use for food. I've never tried peanut butter.

If your still looking for a solution, there are safer products to use to remove the sticky goo and they are safe for food containers and not harmful to you. I'd love to share these products with you.

Goo Gone. You can get it at walmart, target or almost anywhere. You can find it down the cleaning aisle. This stuff is great, it takes off anything sticky like that!

Try Goo be Gone. It is awesome and can be found at Target, Walmart, etc. Sometimes in cleaning, sometimes in Automotive!
Hope it works!

There is this stuff called Goo Gone. YOu can get it at Wal-Mart or any other store like that and it really, works.

Goo Gone (sold at Wal Mart and Lowes) or Avon Skin So Soft. I have used them both on the price tags from picture frames on glass as well as on the kids plastic plates and bowls. Goo Gone is great it works on all kinds of stuff. Like appliance stickers that were on an appliance for 7 years.

There is a product called Goo gone that you can buy at Home Depot and probably wal-mart that takes the adhesive right off.

Goo Gone. It's found in the cleaning product aisle at Walmart or similar stores. Works great!

Hello, K.!

My suggestions are listed below as well, but if anything I am re-inforcing that they work!

Goo be Gone and Rubbing Alcohol (Finger Nail Polish Remover). They work wonders!!

You can use lighter fluid or a product called "Goo Be Gone" which comes in a spray bottle and is great for all kinds of things. Neither of these should scratch the surface of the bowl. I used lighter fliud on a set of stainless canisters I use to have

Soak it in Dawn detergent and warm water for an hour, usually it then come right off.

Try rubbing peanut butter on it then let it set for a few minutes use a wet cloth and wipe it right off.
It has worked for me.
Repeat if need be but the first time it should come right off.

I've never used it on stainless steel, but nail polish remover always gets that goo off for me. Good luck!

goo gone,, can buy it at Wal Mart or any grocery store,

cottonball saturated with acetone. takes the yuck right off!

Windex and a strong paper towel or dish towel. You should already have these things in the house so I would try them first. If they don't work, go for another suggested product.

There is a product call Goo Gone that can be purchase at a hardware store. It work's well for me.

Goo be Gone. Works wonders! It's at walmart and most grocery stores.

I bought a mirror that had a sticker I couldn't get off and didn't want to damage the glass. I tried spreading a layer of peanut butter on the sticker and left it overnight. Next morning it washed right off. I've also tried fingernail polish remover with some success, but this worked even better.

i always use alcohol. good luck!

I learned from my mother that peanut butter of all things works excellent for removing sticker residue from price tags, etc. I use it all the time...just smear some on the surface of where you want "sticky" removed and let it sit a bit...then you can usually scrap/wipe it away. Note: on some very sticky stickers you might have to repeat the process.
Best of luck :)

I think you should try Ronsonal or Zippo lighter fluid, I use it all the time the sticky comes right off!!! You can find it at almost any convienient store and walmart by the tobacco!!

Goof Off, you can buy it in the paint department at Home Depot. It works great on all that sticky stuff, just don't use it on anything acrylic as it will make it cloudy.

I have heard that Avons Skin so soft will take off goo. I havent tried it so good luck

Have you tried alittle rubbing alcohol or even windex with a alittle bit of elbow grease? I have had good luck with windex on removing sticky goo from windows. You may even try using windex and one of those no scratching sponges.

This sounds a little counter-productive, but I know hair spray works for some surfaces... never tried stainless steel, though...

Rubbing alcohol may work.

I have found that rubbing alcohal works well or if really hard to remove try fingernail polish remover. Be sure to wash well after removing the sticker. Good luck -N.-mother of 4children/9grandchildren

"Goo Gone". You can get it at Walmart or Lowe's or probably most anyplace. A little goes a Looong way, too. Best wishes!

Goo Gone... it has been a lifesaver for me.

Look for Goo Gone at the grocery store or Walmart. It works really well.

Energine works well to remove stickers from new windows and the like. I would try it.

Hi K.. Try a little rubbing alcohol. There is a product calling Goo Gone on the market that is great for that, too. You can get it at Lowes. I hate when they put stickers places like that!!

There's a product on the market called "Goo Gone". It comes in a small bottle and will take the stickers and goo off of anything. I keep a bottle of it in the kitchen cabinet.

Walmart, K-Mart, Walgreens, any of them should have it. A bottle last forever, too.

Try a product called "Goo Gone" it comes in an orange gel formula that usually works...good luck!

Ronsonol lighter fuel for refilling Zippo lighters and a cotton ball.

there is a product called 'dissolve-it'. you should be able to find it in your cleaning aisle at they store you go to.

From all the ideas you have been offered, I was surprised to see only one suggestion for WD-40. So many Mamasource queries are searching for how to get crayons or silly putty out of carpet, gum out of hair, etc. WD-40, I'm told, can even keep bathroom mirrors fom steaming up. Although it is petroleum based (and is not made of fish oil, as rumors suggest) it doesn't tend stain and is reported to be a great spot remover when needing to get out something that is oil or wax based, such as lipstick. I have found it to work very well for removing gummy sticker residue, but keep in mind that you should be careful if the sticker is stuck to something with a waxed surface. It is a solvent.

You can find a list of what WD-40 can do on snopes.com or about.com. But, keep in mind that this is a petroleum based product and needs to be washed away well when using it on dishes. I don't use it near foods.

I don't know why companies are not forced to find adhesives that do not create these problems for all of us. The one that troubles me most is trying to get the grocerie store stickers off fruit like plums. The skin comes off with them and then the fruit needs to be used immediately. I think we should all start calling the stores and manufacturers that are creating these problems for all of us and tell them to spend a few more bucks on for better stickers. If enough people make suggestions, companies often listen.

You might try rubbing alchohol. It works on somethings. Good Luck!!

I know it sounds funny, but lighter fluid. I used to work @ a luggage store & when we sold an item that was a display model, we ran into the gooey stuff all of the time. Use something soft & the lighter fluid will get rid of it! Good luck!!!

Goo Be Gone can be purchased at Dierbergs.. and other places I suspect. It has taken off any sticker!!

You can buy a product called Goo Gone almost anywhere. I find it at walmart and consider it a household staple. When I worked at La Petite we used it to get crayon and marker off tables etc, but I haven't found anything I can't safely use it on it removes everything you can think of! It even took the stickers off that my daughter stuck on her hardwood dresser!
Good luck

There's a great product called Goo Gone. You can buy at Hobby Lobby, Home Depot, Lowes, etc. It's not very expensive at all and it works great!!

Ronsonol lighter fluid, in the bright yellow bottle. Takes sticker goo off anything I've tried it on so far! Stickers washed and dried on clothing even, takes the goo right off. Plastic, metal, wood, really anything I've tried it on. Evaporates too, so no greasy residue!
Can find it by the cigarettes/cigars products.
Good luck!

Goo Gone. Smells like citrus gone bad but works wonders on just about anything (have even used it to get silly putty out of shag carpet).

I read the other suggestions after posting this and thought I'd clarify. Some responses were saying Goo Gone and some were saying Goo-B-Gone. They are two separate products.

There is a product just to do what you need called: Goo Gone. It is oily and removes stickers and any sticky residue. A small bottle will last you forever. I always keep it on hand. You can get it anywhere: Walgreens, Target, even the grocery store.

rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover

Peanut Butter works GREAT! Just rub a little PB on the sticker and it will come off. I use it all the time when they put stickers on the glass of picture frames. I've used the Goo B Gone and found that it doesn't do that Great of a job. I tried it on some tape I had on a window from sticking Holiday things on it and it didn't take it off. So I used PB. The Goo B Gone smells bad and my husband spilled some on a rented video game and it completely ate the disc. Needless to say I had to purchase the ruined video game. I used it on some crayon on the wall and it took the paint off too!

Good Luck------J. C

WD40 takes it right off.

Buy some Oops multipurpose remover. Works like a charm.

I use a product that I believe is called Goo Gone.

There's this great stuff called Goo Gone. You can get it just about anywhere. Its kind of oily but you rub it on the sticky mess and wipe it off and its gone. It may take a small bit of rubbing but it WILL work! Best of all, its cheap!! Hope this helps!

I suggest trying De-Solv-It. It's a citrus based cleaner that works well on sticky stuff. Good luck!

goo gone works great,then just wash as normal. good luck!!!

Zippo Lighter fluid...An oil based product that can even remove sticker residue from any wooden furniture without ruining the finish or wood. I worked in Furniture repair and it does wonders

Goo Gone is the best - works every time!

Try baking soda. That is the best way to clean stainless steel. Just make a paste and leave it on there for about five min and rinse off.

I have a spray called De-Solve-it. I bought it at walmart. It works great!

Use lighter fluid. It works great.

have you tried goo be gone? if not peanut butter/ cooking oil has also worked.

I love the Magic Erraser for just about anything to remove stuff. My friend got nail polish out of her carpet with the Magic Erraser. Otherwise, I have used vinegar and water to get sickers off of things.

Try using either baby oil or Avon Skin So Soft bath oil. I have used both successfully in the past. Then, just wash the bowl with soap & water to remove the oil.

WD 40 works for me if your husband has some it works to get the sticker off

Good Morning K., Avon makes a product called Skin so soft. Not only will it soften your skin but it will remove the sticky also. Plus take of tar from car's, good mosquito repellent too. lol

I used to be a Avon rep. I was amazed at what the company said this product could do. I have the spray or pump oil.

Also I have had good results with just hot hot water soak with a tad bit of dish soap, use your thumb nail to remove it. Bed Bath & Beyond has a little plastic scraper I call it an Extra Thumb, you can use it on anything and it will not scratch the surface.

Good Luck Kathrine

Goo Gone product usually works great. First try vegetable oil & rub with a dry cloth. Might work but I like Goo Gone for all sticky things.

I whole heartedly believe in GOO-GONE and product that works wonders on price stickers and label goo as well as scuff marks on floors and so much more. You can get it at Lowels, ace hardware and places such as that.

3M Adhesive remover. You should be able to buy at Wal-Mart or a paint store, Home Depot, Lowes, etc.

Hi K.,

There's a product out there called Goo Gone. It works great at taking off any sort of sticky gunk. I've had mine for a long time and can't remember where I purchased it, but I'm sure Wal Mart or Target would carry it.

V.

There is a product called Goo Gone that I use and it works great. You might try rubbing vegetable oil into the sticker goo and see if that will loosen it.

M.

Hi K.,
Mix vinegar and water together and spray it on the sticker it will come right off. It might also work if you take a cloth and put vinegar on it and let it sit on the sticker it should peel right off.
I hope that helps.
K.
