I had this with mine too. Isn't it annoying???

I got mine off with sticky stuff remover and a lot of elbow grease.

Not very OS but it worked.

very annoying indeed - in these days when everywhere uses these easy remove stickers why the heck anyone would use any other type beats me

thanks for all the replies folks - so sounds like WD40 or white spirit to me.

peanut butter :eek::eek::eek::eek: think somebody was winding you up there

thanks for the replies all - also might try fry light as I have some of that in the flat too :beer:

After i have removed the labels I am left with a very sticky residue. How do I get rid of this ?

Try methylated spirits or nail-varnish remover

Try a squirt of WD40

Aggie and Kim use mayonnaise ! it works too.

If its on the glass not the lids, I find brillo pads really good as they get rid of all stickiness but tend to scratch the lids so for those I use Sticky Stuff Remover

Furniture polish works well,
i use it on all sticky labels

Fully agree. Just remember to hold your laden tissue/towel on the offending label for a few seconds before wiping away.

I used Vaseline.

Just rub all over, and leave for 30 mins, then scrub off.
