Help! Giant stickers on windows :(

So our landlord just had all the windows in our house replaced and they are wonderful EXCEPT that when they left, the workers "informed" us that they were leaving ALL the logo/info stickers stuck on them because " a lot of people like to show off that they are new windows".

I literally said to him "well, I do not care for them to be left on, they will drive me crazy" and they still left without taking them off! WTF? Seriously?

My landlord is super pissed that they left them up and spoke to their boss who told him "yeah the windows guys like us to advertise their stuff  as much as possible" and totally ignored that our landlord (and us) did NOT want them left on and had both asked for them to be removed!


 So basically me and DH are left trying to figure out the best way to get the damn stickers off- any suggestions? I really don't want patches of stickiness all over the place :(

Re: Help! Giant stickers on windows :(

  • Not sure if this would work but I use it for stickers on shoes.  Saturate a cotton ball in olive oil and soak the sticker.  Come back in a hour or so and it should peel off.  It has to be olive oil though.

  • What about the spray on "goo gone?"  It's more gel like, so it might stay on there a little better (rather than immediately slide off).

  • spray it with warm soapy water and peel it off...if there's any stickiness left on the glass carefully scrape it off with a razor blade. The previous owner of our house left a construction permit taped to the front window and used duct tape! It was all hard and dried up onto the glass when we moved in and the soapy water and razor blade worked to get it off.
