Spray with WD-40
WD40 sprayed on the sticky spot will remove it
Hair dryer has worked for me in the past too.
Goo Gone or WD40.
Use Avon Skin so soft or D W 40. Spray on and leave on fora few minutes then rub off label.
If WD-40 doesn't work, try acetone (nail polish remover) or Goo gone. Different labels have different adhesives.
Use a hair dryer to remove.
Use rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball. The alcohol will remove the stickiness with just a bit of rubbing.
Rubbing alcohol?

The No Sweat, Chemical-Free Way to Remove Labels and Glue Residue From Your Jars
goop be gone - it is fabulous
I soak mine in warm soapy water for about 10-15 minutes. Most everything scrapes right off. For those really tough bottles with the awful residue behind, my grandma taught me to use lighter fluid to get it off and it works great!
Have you tried a product tried this product called Un-du? www.un-du.com.
It removes “all self-sticking sticking & pressur sensative stickers, tapes, labels & adhesives on contact”. “ Great for removing Grease, Tar, Gum, Candle Wax & more”. (Info from the 4oz bottle I have.). This also works wonderful on paper. I work with paper quite a bit making cards and various paper crafts and this allows me to remove my glued down paper w/o tearing and reuse paper w/o harming the pauper. I buy mine @ Michaels or Hobby Lobby with a coupon and a bottle lasts a long time. The other thing I might suggest trying is the highest % of rubbing alcohol. Less expensive and works on most things. Good luck.
I use rubbing alcohol
Where in Idaho do you live? My brother and family live in Blanchard, between Cour de Laine and Sandpoint. Please let me know if the Un-du works for you. What I like most about it is it works on so many different things.
Scrub them with Comet with your steel wool pad.
Hi May, WD-40 or Surgical Spirit will remove the sticky glue residue. I’ve also heard great things about Goo Gone
