orange oil is one i haven’t seen mentioned yet!

i haven’t tried olive oil and other similar oils like others have suggested, but there’s a product in my country that’s specifically sticky stuff remover (like label residue) and it’s made of orange oil

It’s in the peels and has lots of the fruits flavour. All citrus have it, that’s why you grind a bit of lemon peel into your food: It tastes way more lemony than the juice.

Water and a razor blade works. Original Windex is really good at removing left over tint adhesive from glass, so it might work here too.

I like to use WD-40, I just lube it up and massage the adhesive until it dissolves into a goo that can be removed with dish soap. I find the goo-gone that I tried evaporates too quickly to soak into stiffer jar label adhesives.

An Oxyclean soak is the most common way I see homebrewers recommend for removing labels from bottles. Definitely a good choice if being food safe matters.

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