I've always enjoyed the citrus scented smell of Goo Gone by Magic American Products in Cleveland, Ohio. I first bought it to remove a no-parking sticker that a neighbor plastered on my windshield when I parked in the visitor area to unload my car. I tried everything. I couldn't get that damn sticker off. Nothing worked until I learned about Goo Gone. The citrus oil loosens the adhesive material, so that you can scrape it off without damaging your windshield. Interestingly, I learned about the Goo Gone from the very neighbor who plastered my car, and we ended up being friends.
Later, when I started cooking more, I started saving glass bottles and jars
to use for storage instead of plastic. I found Goo Gone extremely useful in removing the sticky residue from old labels. Then I found it great for removing heal marks on wood floors.
One day after some paint touch-ups, I used it to safely and painlessly remove paint from my hands and from the places I had dripped it on the floor.
Finally, the other day, we had a little kitchen disaster, when a steamed bun turned into a burnt crisp, and the lingering smell of smoke haunted the house. We had already tried to clean it with Lysol and Windex and a 4-in-one product, but a tar-like film clung to the stainless steel surface. We disassembled the oven, and cleaned every part of it with Goo Gone. It seemed to dissolve the film with only a few strokes. Now my steam/microwave/convection oven is back to normal and the kitchen smells clean again. I Heart Goo Gone.
Another suggestion: The other day, I removed my stationary shower doors and the frame that held them in place. Underneath, was a gooey mess of gray and rust colored stuff that used to hold the frame in place. It was so hard to scrape off. So I tried my Goo Gone. I poured it on and wiped the gunk right off. So much easier.
