...what gets the sticky residue off ?

thank you!

WD40 will do it.

Hot hot water and a wire scrubber

WD40 will do the trick, but also recommend a can of 'sticky stuff remover' from supermarket/homebase type places. Awesome stuff, million and one uses. Very handy to have under t'sink.

Surgical spirit?

plain old cooking oilworks too

I've got some WD40 under the sink, I'll try that and report back.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions . x

Sticky Stuff Remover is fabulous stuff.

Oil or peanut butter or Mayo.

leave it on for about ten minutes then give it a good scrub. if it doesn't come off, try again but leave it for longer. it got the packing tape residue off of our bookcases, so hopefully will work for a jar.

WD40 has worked perfectly!

thanks everyone
