Other Household Options for Sticky Residue
If the usual methods fall short, you can try several other common items:
- Vinegar: The acidity in white vinegar naturally breaks down adhesives. Soak a cloth in vinegar, place it on the residue, let it sit a few minutes, then wipe it away.
- Baking Soda: Make a paste with baking soda and a bit of water. Gently scrub the sticky area with this paste—it’s a mild abrasive that’s usually safe on glass.
- Olive Oil: Oil softens adhesive, making it easier to remove. Apply a small amount, wait a few minutes, then wipe clean. Follow with soap and water to remove any oily residue.
Commercial Products: Goo Gone and Similar Options
Products like Goo Gone are designed to tackle stubborn sticky residue. They break down adhesives quickly and are generally safe for glass, but always read and follow the instructions. Other commercial adhesive removers work similarly—just make sure to use them in a ventilated area and follow safety guidelines.
