Use vegetable oil (Crisco, Wesson) by putting on the label so it is saturated & let it stay on there for 15-20 mins. then try to remove. Repeat if still there. A quicker fix is Good B Gone which is meant specifically for this. Vegetable oil works, just slower & usually have to re apply more than one time.

How about steel wool and hot water? I get lots of labels off this way with little effort and no chemicals.

Try WD-40 for the last little bit of gunk. Or if you want to buy something you can use Goo-Gone.

Heat the label with your hair dryer and it will pull off easily and not leave any glue.
