PET plastic bottles

Yes that's the stuff you don't need much you just dab a bit on leave for five mins and wipe off (slightly cheaper on EBay by the eay), I've also used one from Lidl called blaufix label remover.

Lidl it is then. Does it work on plastic labels? I currently microwave them.

This might sound a bit bonkers, but I find T-Cut works a treat..

So what I do is a quick soak then scrape of what you can with the back of a knife then dab it on whatever is left on the bottle, gets rid of anything gluey like that. I've never tried microwaving or T-cut but if it works then why not?

You could save a few pennies and use your discarded foreshots/window cleaner to help getting the stubborn stuff off

A soak in water to deal with the paper product, and after use waste alcohol for the gummy stuff works.

Perhaps I am one my own here, but I get plastic labels that don't soak off. They peel off whole when warm. That is a dribble of water and a microwave.

That leaves a glue residue which any % alcohol won't touch. Wd40 or paraffin nails it.

I would be interested to know if goop remover works on these.

PS there are also plastic labels that are utterly immovable.

Never thought of WD40 - I'll give it a go instead of T-cut, though that seems pretty good

Throwing them on a fire, with the odd accompanying expletive deletive seems to work for the stubborn ones.

... And it sterilises them at the same time.. Brilliant.
