Have you tried spraying furniture polish on it and rubbing it off? (ooeerrr!)

Oil should do it, I think (and patience).

Is it WD40 for the sticky stuff????

Hex huge squishy (((hugs))) that all sounds very painful - I hope thats the last for a long time.

Thanks for the ideas re the sticky stuff flyladies

Laughing here, as I've realised I don't possess furniture polish my excuse is that all the furniture is oiled or waxed wood.......

Off to try the oil - found 3 pictures I bught years ago and never hung before - they will be perfect in the kitchen now its complete, but each has a label on the front which has left loads of sticky stuff!!

Thanks
Tyadog

I have a bottle of stuff that's actually called 'Sticky Stuff Remover'! It works well!

I guess the clue's in the name, really.

Lighter fuel does the job too - and is great for removing sticky plasters from hairy knees (belonging to moany blokes, I hasten to add).
