Any tips for removing stickers from windows?? Tried hot soapy water and a scourer but worried about scratching the glass.

Posted too quick! They are clear football type stickers... Some of them chipped off when they were dry like paint but the others are stuck fast! It's for my babies new bedroom and they look awful...

Have you tried nail varnish remover?

WD40 - spray and leave to soak in edges (best to put some kitchen towel on window sill first to mop up any drips) then use a stanley blade very carefully to slide under & remove sticker.
Then was window with hot soapy water to remove greasy coating
It's a bit if a faff but works well to remove stubborn stickers without scratching.

Have also used WD40 to remove sticky residue from brown parcel tape after a house move. Sprayed it and left it for a few mins then scrubbed with hot soapy water.

I saw a tip on Kim & Aggie once where they used mayonnaise to remove stickers. It was on wood so not sure if that would work on glass. May be worth a go though Smile

Use cooking oil - pour a small amount onto some kitchen paper so it is 'resting on the surface' and then transfer this to the sticky labels. The oil will break down the glue, and then you can pick off the stickers. It sounds mad but it does work Smile .

Sticky stuff remover from asda. Gets any stickers off. It's brilliant

Wow loads to try! I'm going to do cooking oil first and then try wd40... No mayo or nail polish remover in the house which is odd for me. Thanks people'! Smile
