adhesive remover

Dissolves sticky residue

Adhesive remover is a solvent or chemical product designed to dissolve sticky residues left by tape, labels, stickers, or glue.

Common formulations use citrus oils, acetone, or petroleum distillates: I used adhesive remover to get the price tag off the picture frame.

Also called sticky stuff remover or goo remover.
