How do I remove double-faced tape from glass?

Question

I had visitors whose baby needed 'complete' darkness to sleep. I covered two windows with foil and used LOTS of double-faced scotch tape. Worked great but...Naturally, I can't get it off. I tried WD-40. It works okay but makes an oily mess. Does anyone have a simpler suggestion?

You could try a single edge razor. If it takes paint and junk off windows, it may do the trick.

GooGone! I discovered that recently and it's GREAT! Wear gloves though! It removed my nail polish!

I would spray with Pam cooking spray and use a paint scraper or single edge razor blade, and keep a paper towel pad on the sill to wipe off the goo as you go. Then just clean with Windex.

Use a straight razor flat against the window between the window and the tape.

try a razor blade that goes in a box knife. Take it slow once you are under the edge. Run the blade under as you go along.

Scrape it off with a single edged razor blade.
