    I have a Yankee Candle jar that I want to reuse. It's cleaned up well apart from the sticky stuff that is stuck on it after I've peeled the label off.

    How can I get the sticky stuff off? I've tried nail varnish remover bit it's not doing anything! :)

    A little olive or baby oil is good at removing residue like that. Its worth a try.

    WD40 or hand wash/sanitiser solution should do it.

    Great, thanks for the replies! I think I've got some WD40 squirreled away somewhere. What sort of cloth should I use with it? Anything in particular?

    Old cut up t shirt. Something that is very non fluffy. Brain not working properly but at least I know what I mean even if no one else does!
