    Lateral thinking ;) To soften and remove the glue needs oil, so peanut butter will be an obvious choice in the absence of WD40 or baby oil :D

    Try this thread - Sticky label removal. I'll merge this thread to that one later.

    i was gonna say, baby oil, it's also great for cleaning chrome style appliances as it gets all the finger marks off!!!!!

    (and if you get a lavender one it makes the house smell nice too!!!!)

    Hairspray works a treat as well. Just wipe well after.
