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.

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.

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.

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

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