I use either goo gone or I also pocket the skin-safe adhesive remover from work if I only use part of a bottle on someone. I’m pretty sure it’s the same exact formula and I do it before their first run through the dishwater on hot so I’m not real worried about bringing home work cooties. You could also try a liquid oil like canola to loosen it up. Most adhesives like this are oil-based, so mixing a liquid oil into the solid or semi-solid adhesive will loosen it up enough for the soap to mix in better.

1. Take the sticker off (tweezers make peeling up the edge easier).

2. rub the goo gone (or oil if you use that) into the adhesive residue with your fingers. Honestly sometimes if I’m in a rush I just give the bottle a quick little handie with the oil.

3. Do the same thing but with dish soap to bind to the now liquid mixture.

4. I follow up with an abrasive sponge just to really get in there.

5. There’s usually a kinda hazy shadow left over unless I really really scrub, but it basically disappears after the first wash, if not second.
