My granddaughter put christmas labels on my windows and they won't come off. Is there something besides buying the goo gone to take them off? Some kind of household product?

Tried the wet plastic wrap on my stickers my boys put all over our glass door and it worked amazing. Thanks for the post.

I tried the saran wrap and was surprised it actually worked! Neat little trick.

I decorated my windows for the Super Bowl and used glue dots. I tried a razor blade, a hair dryer to soften it, what else do you guys suggest they won't budge. Thank you

Hi Thanks to the post I used WD40 on a microwave door to remove the safety sticker and it worked a treat. Thanks.

I made some window colour stickers about 3 years ago (they still on the window), and I can't remove these stickers. I tried it with nail polish remover with alcohol, but it didn't work. Any other idea??
Thx mullerb2 AT gmail.com

I can't believe no one knows this the easiest way is to wet a piece of glad wrap, and wrap over the sticker leave for a few minutes, and the sticker will just slide off. If there is any glue left, it will just rub off with your finger. This is how I also remove stickers off the car windows.

Nail polish remover didn't work for me, but clorox wipes and my thumb nail did. Had to take sticker off hanging door mirror.

I rubbed baby oil on a sticker that was on an aquarium and then I used a credit card and lifted one of the corners of the sticker and it peeled right off. Then I cleaned it with glass cleaner.

Just take the blade out of a box cutter and gently wedge it underneath the sticker. Slowly it will come off then use an orange based cleaner or goo-gone to take off residue.

Blimin stickers on Microwave doors, who stupid idea was it to put the safety stickers on the DOOR. I bought a stainless steel Microwave, got it home, unpacked it and carefully peeled off the safety sticker-result-one big sticky mess. I took it back and they were ok about it. I picked a new one brought it home and guess what? Another flamin sticker, we've been trying to get this off for about an hour now, tried nail polish remover, scraped it with our nails, soapy hot water, all that remains is the WD40 trick and I'm not sure if I dare try it. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS, THIS IS THE MESS THE 2ND STICKER HAS LEFT. LITTLEWOODS CAN YOU PLEASE STICK YOUR STICKERS ON THE TOP INSTEAD OF THE DOOR.

Editor's Note: I'd try Goof Off, put on a piece of paper towel or drip a little on the sticker stuff. Let sit for a few seconds and wipe off. It worked for me on window stickers. Make sure that you wash the area well with soap and water before using.

Why do new windows require so many stickers.Some came away easy with soapy water, however I was left with huge eye sores on my six back windows. Gave this site a look and hey presto! nail polish remover worked brilliantly - so thanks for the advice.

Pledge and a credit card worked nicely!

The most efficient way to remove stickers from glass is with a razor cutter. Hardware stores sell special tools and they're not too expensive.

Apply a little baby oil to any remaining goo, scrub with the scruffy side of a sponge, and then use window cleaner.

I use a little bit of baby oil, and my thumbnail. This also works for getting eyebrow/leg wax off your fingers!

I tried the hot vinegar and it did work but it left the mirror smelling bad. I then tried some simple hand lotion and it worked just as good as the vinegar but it left a pleasent smell:

I always use windex to loosen up the sticker and then I take a razor blade to scrape it off. It works really well. Good Luck!

Stickers on any surface can be loosened by heating them with a hair drier and scraping gently with the edge of a credit card or putty knife.

You can use a razor blade scrapper that you use to take paint off of windows too. If any residue is left, Goof-Off works good too.

To remove stickers or tape from windows, I find that if you add heated vinegar to a little spray bottle and apply a bit, it will remove the glue in no time at all.

I got the idea to use rubbing alcohol from your site. Unfortunately, I was out, but your idea gave me an idea. I tried nail polish remover and that took the sticker off a new mirror.

Try antibacterial hand gel. It's wonderful removing all types of adhesives and inks including markers. It also smells good.

Use cooking oil that you have warmed in the microwave. It will remove the stickers then just use glass cleaner and soapy water to remove the oil. I have done this for years!!

I have stumbled on this wonderful product called Goo-Gone. It works to get the stickers off of almost everything including plastic. ""

Archived on 03/09/2007

Try rubbing alcohol to remove stickers or adhesive from glass or mirrors. It works like a charm.
