How to Get Stickers Off Glass

Remove stickers from glass with items you already have at home.

Removing stickers from glass can be a difficult task. If you don't do it properly, the sticker can leave a sticky residue that isn’t seen at first but becomes visible over time as dust and dirt collect on the residue, making the glass look dirty and unclean. Removing stickers from glass isn’t hard, and with the right items you can do it in as little as a couple of hours, leaving you with clean, sticker-residue-free glass.

Things You'll Need

• Water
• Wash cloth
• Microwave
• Baby oil

Instructions

1. Wet a washcloth and ring out the excess water.

2. Place the wet washcloth into a microwave, and microwave it on high for a minute.

3. Remove the washcloth from the microwave. Make sure you let it cool for a couple of seconds or until it is cool enough to hold.

4. Place the steamed wash rag on the glass surface where the sticker is. Let the rag sit for an hour to let the steam saturate the sticker. If the stickers are on the bottom of a drinking glass, flip the glass over and place the rag on top.

5. Remove the rag.

6. Peel the sticker off.

7. Place a drop of baby oil where the sticker was if there is any residue left on the glass. Let the baby oil sit for an hour.

8. Wipe off the baby oil with a wet wash cloth to remove the residue left from the sticker.
