TwistedFox, in How do I remove sticker residue from glass containers?

Goo-B-Gone or Goo-Gone, plus steel wool like SOS pads or Scotch-Guard. Razors would work if it was a flat surface, but on a curved one like a bottle or glass, you want the flexibility of the steel wool.

SolacefromSilence,

+1 for steel wool

When I need to do something like this I run the glass under hot water to soften the adhesive the use 91% rubbing alcohol.

Ladiira, in Is Grammarly premium worth it?

I used it throughout undergrad and grad school. I found it helpful. Not sure what you need Grammarly for but if you need MLA or APA help, I would recommend checking out Perra - www.perrla.com. Made formatting and references so much easier.

As others have said, isopropyl alcohol works great to remove adhesive residue. Just don't use it with certain plastics.

Lots of good suggestions in this thread already, but long ago I used to work at a company that sold second-hand stuff where we often had to deal with stubborn labels and I haven't seen our "nuclear option" mentioned yet. Brake cleaner, which is basically an organic solvent in a spray can, should be great on glass. Be careful with it, though, it melts some kinds of plastics. And ensure it's used in a well-ventilated area.

Try that if the usual GooGone type stuff doesn't work.

We also used WD40, it tended to be gentler on plastics. Though it left a greasy residue that we'd need to clean off afterward and it was pretty slow.

Froyn,

Brake cleaner will not only take the paint off your wall, it will start to eat it.

I use ChatGPT (Bing Chat) to rewrite my crappy English. I can ask ChatGPT to change the style, the tone, and length, wordings etc until I get exactly the results I want.

I normally just put it in the dishwasher alongside everything else and the heat and the steam do the job.

CIWS-30,

Depending on the dishwasher, that may not be a good idea as the label can clog the dishwasher filter though.

Hyperreality, in How do I remove sticker residue from glass containers?

Heat and peel (slowly). You can pop some hot water in it or use a hairdryer.

Strong alchol on a cloth or papertowel to remove what remains.

If all else fails WD40 also works.

This is from removing labels from cars, where you have to be careful to prevent damage to the paint/clear coat.

With glass you can use a razor to scrape off whatever remains, but mostly it's not necessary.

lazy, in How do I remove sticker residue from glass containers?

razor blade or other sharp scraping tool works great. Alternatively, you can try something like GooGone, but I have had mixed results there.

Years ago at one job we used to use a combination of a razor scraper and Goof Off and it worked well. It was on pricing stickers on metal painted with enamel, and as long as you didn't dig into it and just worked it loose it would come clean. Goof Off is a harsher chemical than Goo Gone (I think toluene or some mixture) so not the best for long term exposure, but that was then and we had some ventilation. I also think the product sold now like so many might be more diluted and not the original.

Olive oil on the other hand works surprisingly well if it can get to the adhesive.

Pandantic, in How do I remove sticker residue from glass containers?
@Pandantic@kbin.social avatar

I suggest, if it's not too gooey, grab some packing tape, and press it on the adhesive. Then, pull it off quickly. You might have to do this a few times, but it's the best method I've found that doesn't leave residue, and also works with most sticky adhesives.

Aceton usually does the trick.

moxkobold, in How do I remove sticker residue from glass containers?

There's a citrus based cleaning spray that usually does the trick for me, or isopropyl alcohol could work as well

fsniper, in How do I remove sticker residue from glass containers?

Isopropyl alcohol works. I used IPA for cleaning car windows from sticker residue.

HeartyBeast, in Is Grammarly premium worth it?

It depends if you really want to send all your text to a third party. Feels like a privacy nightmare waiting to happen to me.

I agree, I wouldn’t use the always on feature, would just be for a specific project.
