sticky label and residue removal

lora

I have soaked them in boiling hot water and put them through hottest wash in dishwasher and still they are in place. How do I remove them ?

If they are tricky I scratch the surface a few times with a sharp knife, soak in the sink for half an hour in hot water then when the label is soft scrape them with a butter knife

wd40 - but put them through the dishwasher again afterwards

wd40 is a brilliant degreaser and sticky stuff remover

We got the keys to our new rental yesterday and Ive noticed that in one of the smaller rooms the preivous tennants children have put stickers on the window and on the white wooden bedroom door.

Ive tried to remove them but its leaving a very strone gluey mess behind.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how i can remove this as it looks really messy

Many thanks

On the window you can use white spirit.

Not sure about the door. :undecided

But I'm sure vinegar will be mentioned.

On How Clean Is Your House the other day, they used mayonnaise.

I think I've read somewhere that you can use WD40 to remove the goo. I would test it on a small area first, windows should be ok but I'd definitely do a patch test first on the door (if it's glossed though you should be ok).

my mum always covers a piece of kitchen roll with washing up liquad and water and cling films/ tapes it over the sticky spot leaves it for a whille and it then it just rubs off.
