This technique works for getting stubborn paper and adhesive off the bottle, but it won’t preserve the label itself. Pull off the label, then soak a paper towel or cotton ball in vinegar. Rub any remaining paper and adhesive residue with the vinegar until it wipes away.

Staff Answer

Heating the bottle or soaking off the label may work, depending on the type of adhesive. Heat works better for a sticky adhesive, while soaking may be your best bet for a dry adhesive. Either way, you’ll need to peel the label off very slowly and carefully, with the help of a flat implement like a razor or box cutter blade.

You may be able to buff it away with a brass wire wheel or gently scrape it away with a razor. Test out either of these techniques in an inconspicuous area or on a piece of glass that you don’t mind damaging, first.

It's not hair gel; it is goo-removing liquid sold in places such as Walmart.
