Anybody got some ideas for this?

The effectiveness of rubbing alcohol can be limited by the specific composition of the adhesive. Some adhesives may resist its solvent action. Similarly, while Dawn excels at tackling grease and oils, its ability to remove adhesives can vary depending on the type of residue.

Alternative Household Solutions for Sticky Residue

Beyond rubbing alcohol and Dawn, several other household items and techniques can be employed to tackle sticky residue. Natural solutions like vinegar and baking soda, as well as oils, can be effective in loosening the adhesive’s grip on glass surfaces.

Vinegar: A Natural Adhesive Dissolver

White vinegar, with its acidic properties, is a natural adhesive remover. Simply soak a cloth in vinegar, apply it to the sticky area, let it sit for a few minutes, and then wipe away the residue.

Baking Soda: A Gentle Abrasive

Baking soda, a gentle abrasive, can be mixed with a small amount of water to create a paste. This paste can be applied to the sticky residue and gently scrubbed to help lift the adhesive. Its mild abrasive action is generally safe for glass when used with care.
