Hi,
I took off a very sticky label off from a wooden high chair. The sticky glue is still there leaving black marks. I tried vinegar, baking soda and soap to scrape it out, but nothing helps. What else can I try? Thanks!

Use an oil of some description - olive oil, vegetable oil, jojoba oil - just what ever you have to hand. Put some on a cloth and gently rub the 'sticky' area, it should do the trick nicely

rubbing alchol (sp?)

Try a hairdryer on hot. It removes sticky labels easier than anything, but I"m not sure how it will work on residue.

I have always used oil.

Peanut butter! Especially natural peanut butter. It has lots of oil in it to soften the adhesive, and the little ground peanut bits act as a very mild abrasive to help rub it off. Works like a charm!

tea tree oil rubbed with your finger will take it right off

Goo Gone should do it if the oil won't.

Rubbing alcohol works good. It can help to pour on a lot and let it sit a minute or two. Good idea about the tea tree oil, I'll have to try that!

I agree, some light oil first and it that doesn't work, rubbing alcohol. Good luck.

I used olive oil and it worked like a charm! Thanks so much everyone.
