Had, without a doubt, the most stubborn windshield sticker. It had layers of adhesive which resisted WD-40, alcohol and razor blade. So I tried your olive oil solution. Within 10 minutes of oil and blade it was off and windshield looks like new! Thank you!
HAHAHAHA! This is great! I had tried to remove a sticker from a new frying pan I bought yesterday. Only the paper part came off. The glue stayed. I just now paused your video at 3 minutes in... went back to my kitchen... poured a few drops of olive oil into my skillet, and quickly rubbed it over the remains of the decal. I figured since it was a larger area (5 inches in diameter), I'd probably have to let it soak for several minutes. But before I set the skillet down to soak, I tried the edges again with my fingernail. The edge of the adhesive area suddenly started coming up, ALL IN ONE PIECE! This was not happening before! Thank you so much! This does actually work! :)))
That is so cool! Thank you for sharing this tip. By the way, a blow dryer softens glue on stickers so they remove easily. It's best to keep the dryer about 3 inches from the sticker and move the dryer back and forth at a relaxed pace for about 5 to 10 seconds, possibly more depending on the package (cardboard takes longer) or how long the sticker has been on the package. For large labels (like on a box you are reusing), start at a corner and heat other parts going towards the center as you peel the label off. If you hold the dryer in one place on high heat, you run the risk of heating the label too much to0 fast. You may actually singe the paper without softening the glue. Learned this from our bindery guy at my job who uses a heat gun to remove labels and shrink wrap packages. :-)
I've been trying to get rid of the nasty glue residue of a sticker on a glass jar for the past hour. Tried everything. Went on YT out of exasperation and found this video. THANK YOU.
OMG! Didn't expect this to work so well! My sticker residue was huge so I needed to use more oil and then wash it off with soap, but completely no residue left! Thumbs up!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! After trying with hand sanitiser alcohol gel for a good 30 min, acetone for 30 min more, I was desperate ... I saw your video! Within 10 seconds, literally sorted! I can't thank you enough as it was an expensive present and the label was enormous!
I'be had this headboard and when I was little I put a lot of stickers. Now there's like a lot of residue and I've been using a quarter and water to get it off
Wow! I tried it on a coffee jar which had really aggressive adhesive under the label, and I wanted the coffee jar for a craft project. It worked in seconds! Absolutely super method. Thank you!
Painted my golf clubs and the duct tape I used to mask the face left a mess. Didn't want to use acetone or anything harsh to ruin the paint and didn't have any olive oil on hand. So, I used some of the liquid from a jar of olives I had in the pantry. Worked like a charm and saved the paint!
TY!!! I was scrubing in hot water, leaving in in hot water, rubbing it in cold water, used abrasive side of sponge, and that wire thing for scrubing... and then you came with simple solution! Ty so much! Greatings from Croatia!
Thank you so much for this, it really works. I thought I would never get the residues off from my refrigerator door. I rubbed some coconut oil over the sticker residue and let it soaked for couple of hours. Coconut oil melted the residues, wiped that off with cloth....worked like a charm.
I paused this video about half way through to test this. It works. It took a bit longer than ten seconds, for me, and 2 applications: I rubbed, dried then rubbed and dried again. Outstanding results. Thank you CLHunter for a wonderful tip. I'm going back to remove another sticker from a second bowl. A million thumbs up. Subbed for your ingenuity.
Isopropyl alcohol or even coconut oil will also do this removal, but extra virgin olive oil is likely cheaper than coconut oil at the store. Use a sponge-type scrubbie when removing the glue and it all does pretty well. Tried using fingernail polish remover in the past and the odor alone will knock you out. WD-40 and Tiki and Duct tape oil were also failures on a set of plastic glasses from the local Dollar Store that needed the sticky residue removed from them. Had to toss them at the time, as I had not learned the oil trick.
Pete, I know you are busy but I really appreciate these videos. Watching this one while keeping an eye on the Bears. I put many, many of your tips into practice every day as I build my reseller business your videos keep me hustling, eye on the prize. Thanks.
Wow. Worked like a charm. Was removing an old sandpaper with the adhesive backing.. Stubborn glue. And after cleaned up with alcohol. 100% recommended.
I just bought a fountain pen and had a sticker when I took off annoying residue does want to stay . Your tip was really helpful I used some pumpkin seed oil and it worked wonders. I think any oil would do. To remove the slippery oil a drop of detergent would do the trick.
Thank you. In my search for how to remove the residue of a child lock from my wardrobe, I also learnt the American culture of buying, using and comparing "products" for a task this common. Thanks for pointing out that the solution -- non-chemical, too -- is a few feet away in the kitchen.
Thank goodness I found this. The Goo Gone toxicity was always a concern and my sensory issues make the smell worse for me than it is for most people. Thanks Pete! ETA Now that I have cleaned off half a dozen books I am triple-grateful for this information. I used sesame oil and it works as well or better than Goo Gone. YAY!!!!
Thank you so much. Did not realize how well it works. I have about 4 spots on the kitchen floor that have been sitting there for weeks. It was an eyesore to say the least and now they are gone. Thank you, thank you!
This works wonders on my scissors! Thank you SO much!!! No harsh chemicals and the residue from the sticky things I cut with my scissors came off effortlessly.
I use heat at first (hair dryer will work), then the sticker usually comes right off with no residue. If there is still residue, then a little oil works great. I just use vegetable oil (mineral oil works too). If it is a large surface, then you might want to use a little Windex to clean off the oil. If the previous methods do not work, then rubbing alcohol works on some weirdo goo.
It works, it takes more than 10 seconds though. Rubbing alcohol on a paper towel gets off leftover olive oil on the case. Worth the effort, I just despise unnecessary stickers fused to my stuff.
Peter thxx so much for making this great vid cus YOU just saved me from a breakdown !! All day I have been trying to get the tape and residue and old OLD tape w/residue off of the metal frame of the sliding door's. I have tried every remedy out there on youtube today and the OLIVE oil was the ONLY thing that JUST worked for me !! I shouldn't even be typing this right now. Instead I should be working more on getting this off but I just had to tell you "and other's" how well the olive oil is working :) ! I watched and tried coconut oil, vinegar, then apple cider vinegar that was on another video, then ice cubes, I even tried the "wash it 1st w/coke and then peanut butter and etc... LOL !" But seriously ppl, THIS works! Also if you scroll down the comments, you'll see a woman tells everyone that ANY oil works. So I tried coconut oil on one side and olive "like Peter's vid is about" and olive worked amazing and coconut, to my surprise, didn't do a thing. It took of NOTHING. So if you're reading this, don't waste any of your precious time on the random tips, just do what he says in the video and your golden :) ! ..... BUT, I would like to try the lighter fluid that people are commenting about, I just don't have any here. I'm now a nubi subscriber ;) !
This worked well for me with a large sticker on my glass herb preserve jar. I had the residue off and the oil cleaned off the jar within a couple minutes of watching this video. Thanks a lot for the help.
I'm not a reseller yet, but you have given me more info on how to do things just in real life that most. THANK YOU !!! Sorry to see the group brake up. Will you be doing anything with Picking Profits in the future?
Olive oil does actually leave a bit of grease. It's good for removing the really gummy residue, but I have a method that is far easier and cleaner for most uses: take a piece of packing tape and simply place the sticky side over the sticker residue and remove. Do this repeatedly and vigorously. It will remove all the residue and leave it brand new. Sometimes you have to do it enough for the residue to warm up a bit, so don't give up if it doesn't work immediately. Also, VERY IMPORTANT, only use it on hard surfaces like plastic, do not use it directly on paper or cardboard packaging because it will stick to the printed surface and pull it up leaving a bare spot of cardboard showing.
At a garage sale I once picked up a vintage tube guitar amplifier which had wood grain contact paper all over it! Very ugly. I bought amp for like $35.00, it was a Magna tone stereo amp made in 1959, I used a heat gun, and pulled all the contact paper off, to an old vintage amp covered with sticky glue! I used Goo Gone to get all the glue off, and I basically restored this old 1959 magnatone stereo tube amplifier. I still have it and it looks great, original dark brown tolex. Sounds real sweet, very warm sounding
A heat gun and a plastic razor blade (useful for scraping glass or gasket residue off aluminum blocks) is my go-to. With simple green to mop up any remaining residue. Though next time I'll give olive oil a shot. Thanks!
Another recommendation is Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol. Leaves no trace oils (olive oil does IF it saturates into the paper. Glossy covers are fine as long as you clean off all the oil when your done)
Thanks! The residue easily came off of a food storage container. I just peeled off the label and used the olive oil to get the residue off in about 10 seconds flat.
helped a little, but against 3m adhesive that's been left on and reheated and cooled down for a couple months, I'm having trouble. Most of it is gone, but I had to use oils and alcohol with hot water + dish soap cleanings after each.
For book covers it's safer to use isopropyl alcohol, in case a little spills off the glossier dust jacket, it dries quickly and no oily stain on paper. Most modern jackets it's safe to use oil, and it certainly is cheaper. On antique books, depending on the quality of the paper used, even the natural oil on your skin can transfer to the page, so best to handle the really valuable stuff with thin gloves.
I actually used this on my phone case after trying to remove the most annoying sticker . You know those stickers that last forever. Nothing worked, so I tried olive oil ....It actully worked..in 10 sec...HOW? The first time Im actually impressed.
Love your videos. Your an inspiration and your video content is among the best. Quick tip I'm sure you already know but olive oil is also good for restoring old plastic, wood, and mugs/glasses that have writing or print that looks faded. Just rub it on, wait a few minutes and wipe off the excess oil. Keep doing what you do!
Thanks it worked like magic. You won't understand the gummy annoying feeling I experience each time I touched my passport, this feeling some time even took the pleasure out of traveling. So thank you once again.
I've jyst tried several methods without success. My wife suggested a paint razor blade scraper to remove the bulk of the glue. Then nail varnish remover ( acetone) works great. Dont get any onto the paint onthe door. Be careful and use sparingly with a rag.
I tried soaking a glass bottle in bleach, using Windex Window cleaner, soaking in hot soapy water for 2 hours,...even Liquid Plumber (LOL...not recommended)...nothing worked to get that sticky residue off...untill...I tried a little olive oil! Worked GREAT! Thanks so much! I must have spent have spent half the day trying to get that stuff off..what a waste of time...till this!
Out of all the tips and tricks (rubbing alcohol, acetone, etc), this was the most effective. Whaddya know... olive oil... I'm impressed. That's for the vid! Oh and skip to 3:47.
I need to know how to do this because I bought some guitar hero guitars and they have stickers EVERYWHERE on them. I took them off and tried to remove the residue but couldn't get it off. Thanks! Now I can paint the faceplate on the guitars like I wanted to do from the beginning. Great but weird tip!
Thanks for video. It worked very well. Removing the sticky reisdue on high grade plastic can be a pain. I soaked top layer off with hot soapy water while washing dishes, but had problems with residue. I alway try to use what I got at home. Thanks again.
Thanks great tip. I also use a blow-dryer for the hard stickers that don't come the heat loosens the gluebut sometimes leaves residue so thanks for the tip.
Thank you, your so smart. Bought a used vinyl purse from Savers and got it home and it had something super sticky (small area) on the front. Tried everything to remove. Used oil and it's gone. WOW!!
you can use a white wash cloth with a little soap and very hot water; squeeze out the extra water until its damp and apply pressure against the sticker ; the sticker should easier be removed; then you can apply the cloth to the residue;;;; may have to hit the cloth again with hot water;; maybe you will not have deal with oil....
Any organic solvent would do the trick. Try spraying deodorant and then wiping off. If it doesn't come off that quickly let the put loads of deo and give it more time, you're giving the (usually) organic adhesive to dissolve. But using olive oil is recommended for kitchenware and if you don't want your stuff to smell the deodorant. ;)
So cool. That just saved my Spanish lesson CDs that were in a sleeve. The glue that held the sleeve together got on the cds. Thanks SO much because I thought they were ruined. =)
I tried it on my action figure bubbles and honestly, it didn't really work as well as I thought it took away the stickiness of the residue though I can still see the residue though it might be because these stickers were quite hard to remove Edit: if you are trying to remove some residue of action figure plastic bubbles, use rubbing alcohol
Thank you for the virgin olive oil trick to remove sticker residue. I always use Murphy's oil soap to remove the residue, but the next time I'll try the virgin olive oil idea.
Wow, Pete, this is great compared to all the other less pleasant solutions people have come up with! Goo gone smells like death to me, so I'll be trying this tonight.
I use Transtar 9784, removes adhesives, road tar and waxes. When using it on petroleum base items I don't let it soak to long. I get it from a local auto body supply store.
Thanks a lot!!! It worked. I did it on the back of my passport because WOW airlines that left stranded in Germany when went bankrupted put a very annoying sticker in Berlin. I thought I could damage the passport, but I was very careful. Nothing worse that a sticky passport. ;-)
Video starts at 3:47.
Thanks, though.

I love you guys n gals. These comments got me dead. XD

I rubbed some coconut oil over the sticker residue and let it soaked for couple of hours. Coconut oil melted the residues, wiped that off with cloth....worked like a charm.

This worked much better than the rubbing alcohol I tried first. Thank you.
I've found this video very helpful, I used this tip to scrub almost all the residue off my brand new longboard. 9/10 for me. Thank you!
Thank you! I’ve been scrubbing with water and thought there has to be a better way! You my friend, have saved me a lot of frustrating hours.
This looks like the best way to take labels off a plastic water bottle, thanks so much!
BRILLIANT thanks very much. I also tried it with sunflower oil out of curiosity and that worked too. Great tip - thank you.
Wow. Worked like a charm. Was removing an old sandpaper with the adhesive backing.. Stubborn glue. And after cleaned up with alcohol. 100% recommended.

Good tip. You can also use hot air from a hairdryer to take the whole price tag. It softens the glue.
Thank you so much. Did not realize how well it works. I have about 4 spots on the kitchen floor that have been sitting there for weeks. It was an eyesore to say the least and now they are gone. Thank you, thank you!
This works wonders on my scissors! Thank you SO much!!! No harsh chemicals and the residue from the sticky things I cut with my scissors came off effortlessly.
Thank you! I can't stand the smell of goof off. I will be using the olive oil from now on. I learn a lot from your videos. Keep up the good work!

This is fantastic. I had to do it twice to get the residue off completely, but it's a very very good method of removing sticker residue.
It works, it takes more than 10 seconds though. Rubbing alcohol on a paper towel gets off leftover olive oil on the case. Worth the effort, I just despise unnecessary stickers fused to my stuff.

Zippo lighter fluid works the best hands down. Dissolves the residue and evaporates instantly after wiping off
GKBryan Allison
That worked perfectly! Thanks.
I've been getting frustrated with this sticky residue but your video sure helps will try it now. Thanks for sharing.
This worked well for me with a large sticker on my glass herb preserve jar. I had the residue off and the oil cleaned off the jar within a couple minutes of watching this video. Thanks a lot for the help.
This worked really well thank you so much. It took me ~15 mins with just water, but now it’s super easy!

Uncle Putin does it work on bikes?
Thinks for the tip. It worked for me!
Thank u so much
You can use a blow dryer first to help remove the sticker.
Really glad you included a book cover to clean. They are often really bad to clean up.
I Use Coconut Oil for Plastic and Glass and Lighter Fluid for Paper and Cardboard..Both work Really well..Have not tried Olive oil :)
What about sticky residue on wood
I used this on an expensive Pokémon card that had glue residue. It worked beautifully and removed all the imperfections, thank you!!
it honestly worked in less than 10 seconds for me. many, many, many thanks!
Not bad I used vegetable oil on residue on metal cap! Took seconds! THX!
At a garage sale I once picked up a vintage tube guitar amplifier which had wood grain contact paper all over it! Very ugly. I bought amp for like $35.00, it was a Magna tone stereo amp made in 1959, I used a heat gun, and pulled all the contact paper off, to an old vintage amp covered with sticky glue! I used Goo Gone to get all the glue off, and I basically restored this old 1959 magnatone stereo tube amplifier. I still have it and it looks great, original dark brown tolex. Sounds real sweet, very warm sounding
I just did this today , I use Magic Eraser with Hot water ;) Thumb$ Up !!! Great Tip !
A heat gun and a plastic razor blade (useful for scraping glass or gasket residue off aluminum blocks) is my go-to. With simple green to mop up any remaining residue. Though next time I'll give olive oil a shot. Thanks!
Another recommendation is Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol. Leaves no trace oils (olive oil does IF it saturates into the paper. Glossy covers are fine as long as you clean off all the oil when your done)
Thank you Pete! Great tip! I have been searching for a way to remove that residue for a awhile.
I'm sitting here trying to put my kids school supplies together and the sticky residue is just a pain. Thank you for this idea :)
Thanks! The residue easily came off of a food storage container. I just peeled off the label and used the olive oil to get the residue off in about 10 seconds flat.
helped a little, but against 3m adhesive that's been left on and reheated and cooled down for a couple months, I'm having trouble. Most of it is gone, but I had to use oils and alcohol with hot water + dish soap cleanings after each.
Thanks this actually worked to remove sticky residue off leather chair left by tape. Awesome job dude! You Rock!
I used it to remove adhesive residue on an outdoor vinyl banner. I did have to rub it a little bit with scourer. Worked great!
For book covers it's safer to use isopropyl alcohol, in case a little spills off the glossier dust jacket, it dries quickly and no oily stain on paper.
Most modern jackets it's safe to use oil, and it certainly is cheaper.
On antique books, depending on the quality of the paper used, even the natural oil on your skin can transfer to the page, so best to handle the really valuable stuff with thin gloves.

Had to pause and tried it on an Ikea salad bowl which I had residue for over a year and it worked like a charm. thanks.

Just tried this on refrigerator, and it truly work. I used pure olive oil. Thank you so much!!!
Pete - great technique thanks. And btw - what camera are you using for your vids? They are some of the clearest images I have seen on all of TH-cam.
I've jyst tried several methods without success. My wife suggested a paint razor blade scraper to remove the bulk of the glue. Then nail varnish remover ( acetone) works great. Dont get any onto the paint onthe door. Be careful and use sparingly with a rag.
I tried soaking a glass bottle in bleach, using Windex Window cleaner, soaking in hot soapy water for 2 hours,...even Liquid Plumber (LOL...not recommended)...nothing worked to get that sticky residue off...untill...I tried a little olive oil! Worked GREAT! Thanks so much! I must have spent have spent half the day trying to get that stuff off..what a waste of time...till this!
PS: I used avocado oil! Worked great!
It works great at taking stickers and glue off of metal too. Thanks for the tip!
This man is a hero to society

This is amazing!! I'm cleaning my new closet from the stickers, this works like a charm! Thank you so much
I tried the non stick cooking spray when I didn't have any oil on hand. It worked really well.
Just used this to clean sticker residue off my MacBook and it totally worked! Thank you!! :)
Thanks bro, it works...I tried it on Starbucks coffee mug... God bless... You literally saved my precious coffee mug...
Thanks for video. It worked very well. Removing the sticky reisdue on high grade plastic can be a pain. I soaked top layer off with hot soapy water while washing dishes, but had problems with residue. I alway try to use what I got at home. Thanks again.
I would like to say you saved my $4000 Gibson Les Paul by your videos! Good Joband Thank YouMichael
This worked for soup mugs, I got out of a package and they all had sticky gup on them. I use your idea, and hot water. Thanks 👌 thumbs ☝
Don't have the Extra Virgin Olive oil at home. Used the coconut oil instead. Work likes magic! Thumb up!
Thank you so much! I needed a method that is safe and would remove the glue residue in seconds. This is great. Thanks again.
Yes, Ronsonal lighter fluid works great, and it evaporates very quickly. Olive oil is messy.
Thanks great tip. I also use a blow-dryer for the hard stickers that don't come the heat loosens the gluebut sometimes leaves residue so thanks for the tip.
Thank you, your so smart. Bought a used vinyl purse from Savers and got it home and it had something super sticky (small area) on the front. Tried everything to remove. Used oil and it's gone. WOW!!
you can use a white wash cloth with a little soap and very hot water; squeeze out the extra water until its damp and apply pressure against the sticker ; the sticker should easier be removed; then you can apply the cloth to the residue;;;; may have to hit the cloth again with hot water;; maybe you will not have deal with oil....
Any organic solvent would do the trick. Try spraying deodorant and then wiping off. If it doesn't come off that quickly let the put loads of deo and give it more time, you're giving the (usually) organic adhesive to dissolve.
But using olive oil is recommended for kitchenware and if you don't want your stuff to smell the deodorant. ;)
So cool. That just saved my Spanish lesson CDs that were in a sleeve. The glue that held the sleeve together got on the cds. Thanks SO much because I thought they were ruined. =)
This works like a charm! I had sticky residue on my bandsaw. It took it off ASAP!
Thanks for putting this together, another great tip to follow up on your scoring tool, keep them coming please
I don't know why I kept watching past 2 minutes but I did.
i did the same, just so bored and dead inside lol
Thank you so much!! I do not like using smelly chemicals!! This was a life saver.
I tried it on my action figure bubbles and honestly, it didn't really work as well as I thought it took away the stickiness of the residue though I can still see the residue though it might be because these stickers were quite hard to remove
Edit: if you are trying to remove some residue of action figure plastic bubbles, use rubbing alcohol
You are a living hero! This will literally change my life!! Thank you
I use rubbing alcohol but it has to be the 90 proof to work. It also works on permanent marker.
Thank you for the virgin olive oil trick to remove sticker residue. I always use Murphy's oil soap to remove the residue, but the next time I'll try the virgin olive oil idea.
Wow, Pete, this is great compared to all the other less pleasant solutions people have come up with! Goo gone smells like death to me, so I'll be trying this tonight.
Clorox wipes are also good for getting the residue off if you don't have olive oil
I use Transtar 9784, removes adhesives, road tar and waxes. When using it on petroleum base items I don't let it soak to long. I get it from a local auto body supply store.
I thought this was hamster juice junk!! I WAS WRONG!.."IT WORKS DAMN GOOD!!"
Thanks for the vid!!
Lmaoo this is the comment that made me try it 😂 and it worked hahaha
Thank you, this was by far the best method.
Thanks a lot!!! It worked. I did it on the back of my passport because WOW airlines that left stranded in Germany when went bankrupted put a very annoying sticker in Berlin. I thought I could damage the passport, but I was very careful. Nothing worse that a sticky passport. ;-)
Thank you easy and effective...well done, I applied it to my window and it works very well
