Yawn, tedious, but what gets sticky labels off?

[costagirl]

My fridge freezer STILL has the remnants of a grotty Hotpoint sticky label on it, obviously looks v attractive. Any ideas what will get it off? Haven't had much success with anything yet.

[TurkeyLurkey]

Isn't it nail varnish remover?

[wuglet]

eucalyptus oil

does the business every time

[HuwEdwards]

second Turkey's answer - or white spirit.

Saw a tip somewhere the other day (a magazine?) that said mayonnaise. Couldn't do any harm, might work!

[Ponders]

WD40?

[mwff]

lighter fluid

[PestoPumpkinMonster]

Sticky stuff remover - from the Betterware catalogue

[costagirl]

Good range of suggestions, well done. Will try mayo first.

[colditz]

Nail polish remover really does work.

[LowLevelWhingeing]

WD40 and this stuff

[hormonstersnomore]

A hairdrier on a gentle heat will melt the sticky glue and it can be peeled off easily.

I have tried sticky stuff remover from Lakeland & it didn't work

But haven't tried WD40 either

[Ponders]

Oh, I have used lighter fluid (ie petrol) in the past & that does work

[DaisymooSteiner]

You can get some little wipes called Zoff from Boots which are for getting plasters off skin, but presumably would work on freezers too! I've also discovered that they're great for getting gloss paint off your skin too.

i used babyoil and a flat thin spatula to get selotape residue off glass

[Legacy]

Ah - you need Groom

Honestly - it cleans everything!

[jemart]

Surgical spirit.

[Snorbs]

Isopropyl alcohol (also known as rubbing alcohol). You can get it from the chemist.

It's been used for decades in recording studios and IT departments as a tapehead cleaner and general all-round solvent because it works well, evaporates quickly and leaves no residue.

Put a big dollop of mayonnaise on it for a couple of minutes then use a plastic knife or something to get the label off. Cheap and works every time!!

[ChristieF]

WD40 apparently.

[orangina]

Lighter fluid. Definitely.

[whoisasking]

Another vote for nail polish remover
