Cologne is mostly alchohol I believe. All the best!

There is no need to use a razor blade. Just use a little patience. I wanted to use a covered pie pan from the grocery store deli to hold candy for a valentine. It had a label on the clear plastic lid that was about 4 inches in diameter. I squirted it with lighter fluid and let it set about 5 minutes. The entire label lifted off in one piece. I then washed the lid with hot soapy water and it left not a trace of label OR glue. Lighter fluid, unlike oil, can be used to remove labels from magazines or that stamp that you need to put on a different envelope. It evaporates completely without a trace once you lift of the label.

If you don't need to use the glass immediately, put anything oily on the sticker. This will loosen the glue & make it easy to wash off. You can use cooking oil or shortening (such as Crisco). I even use peanut butter. Let it sit for a while, then wash off with warm water & a soft cloth. Repeat if necessary. RE: Gooey Stickers off Glass Post by ThriftyFun (3823) | (01/21/2004) Profile | Blog! | Contact Hi, I just saw your idea for using lighter fluid and razor blades to remove stickers from glass. I have something a lot safer and easier. If the glass can be put under running warm water put one drop of dish detergant and a little baking soda on the sticker. Rub the sticker off with a damp rag. Rinse off the glass under warm running water. The baking soda won't scratch the glass. I make homemade hurricane lamps and use this method to remove price tags from the glass globes and candle holders. See Ya In THe Funny Papers! :-D Mechele - Renick Mo.
