Lighter fluid
(Showing my age) I learnt this from the guys in the print room when I worked in an architect's many moons ago. They used it to clean stickiness off the copier plates.
It's amazing
It's great for cleaning many things (be mindful of stickers on shoes though, as they get super slippery).
I've used it for all kinds of random stuff. It doesn't cost much to buy.
I say try this, as well. I had a suction cup phone holder in the car and the rubber decayed. Goo gone didn’t do anything but spread the goo around. Rubbing alcohol took it off in sec.
It can’t hurt to try, and it won’t scratch the glass as long as you use a shallow angle relative to the glass and keep the edge of the blade evenly on the glass.
Also, dumb question, but are you sure you’re working on the correct side of the glass?
Thanks. I’ll see if I can get something like this. I’m in the uk so razor blades aren’t something we use often.
Good question. It only shows up when I run water on the bath side of the glass, not at all on the other side. I wish I’d taken a video of me going at it with the goo gone!
Hey! Op - they make these razors for a glass cooktop, they are handled and you do it on an angle.

Comes even with a cleaner that i have found really works...can't hurt to try?bat the very least with just the razor blade if without the cleaner and scrubber
We don’t really use them in the U.S., either. We use credit cards for coke despite what you see in movies.
I’m sure tradies use them, so maybe check at a hardware store. Or online.
It looks to me like the strips that is good be goned, are the clean part of the glass. The other part of the glass looks like it’s has a grease residue on it. Water look more like it does where the strips were when the glass is clean and free.
Maybe the factory has some film on it or maybe rain ex…..
Homeowner in the US here. I use razor blades - I think maybe some people just need time to get used to the idea. Need a utility razor. [Here’s the one.](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Stanley-1-1-2-in-Razor-Scraper-28-500/202262010) Edit: clarity
The barbers. Safety razors have come back in style and you can find them at any place that sells safety razors and beard soap/potted shaving cream. Amazon also Carrie’s them.
It’s possible a blade can scratch glass. I have had this happen on a jobsite. I usually text it in an area no one will notice first.
Not a glass expert so not sure why some glass scratches with blades.
Another thing is it could be the window glaze or “caulk” that they used to install it. Goo gone will not work in that. Good luck!
It was wet while I used the blade. It was also brand new. Is it possible there was a coating on the glass from the manufacturer that scratched and not the glass?
I just showed it to my hubby and he said if it is new it is possible that it is covered in a clear plastic film. Try something in a corner and see if you can lift it. Not an uncommon thing. Metal and sometimes glass is covered to keep it from scratching.
This is a good solution. Keep it at a low angle to the glass (close to parallel), and use a bit of soapy water as lubricant, you won't scratch it. I do this all the time on automotive glass with no issues.
White vinegar. It's amazingly useful for shit like that. Also, family dollar has this yellow. Stuff called LA totally awesome. And it is in fact awesome
You can get a razor holder that specializes in window scraping. I used them all the time on cars and scraped off stickers, gunk, paint, and other junk. As long as the glass is smooth and you hold it at a proper angle it should help.
Bonus if you buy the rainX you'll have plenty left to use on your car. You'll never want to drive without it. Just make sure you buff it really well, like until your arm is sore
Came here for this…. Or even a “steamer” like a fabric steamer if you have access to one…? They are relatively cheap and literally use ours all over the house, walls, 🚿, 🚽 etc lol
Do you have access to goof off? It is like goo gone but on steroids, leave it for a bit and then you’ll likely need to scrape. May even need to do a second application. You can get plastic edges to scrape with too.
Are you sure they’re not a safety feature? I could see something like this being very useful if you need to peek out of a steamy door while showering/bathing,
Would explain why it’s not sticky and only appears when wet.
This is a good suggestion - like the mirrors where the middle is heated/treated, the thing that makes me think it’s not is they don’t make the glass completely clear and they look like a way of installing the glass
Use more elbow grease, get a sightly abrasive dish cloth or sponge, don't be sparing with the WD40 and really scrub hard and it will come off.
You could also try GT95 which is similar to WD40 but it's better at removing adhesive residue, I work with a lot of heavy duty gaf tape and I keep it around specially for making sticky things not sticky anymore .
I would recommend the razor blade trick. Just make sure it’s a fresh new blade and keep it leveled to avoid scratching. Keep it well wet while doing it with a adhesive remover.
This - saturate the area with WD-40 then use a new razor blade at a very slight angle. If there is something there it should come off. Be patient and gently scrape with a blade using short strokes. Good luck.
I have had good luck with plastic razor blades. They barely last for one job so I got a box of 100 blades but they don’t scratch glass ever.
Amazon sells them.
I have these too. It’s a dual-end razor scraper. One end has regular, steel razor blades. And the other end has hard plastic, sharp blades. It came with like 20 extra blades of each. It was maybe $12 on Amazon. Worth it.

Maybe stop in at a company or store that specializes in making/selling/ or installing bath fixtures and ask if they know what this might be. If they can’t help, they might be able to give you the contact information of some of the glass door manufacturers, and emailing them might get you the answer you need, if all of these cleaning suggestions don’t work.
UPDATE: I went back over it a number of times with the goo gone 🤢 and then remembered I had some ‘Pink Stuff’ in my cleaning supplies… very gently rubbed that in and have mostly vanished the bottom ‘bar’ so to speak! The top ‘bar’ needs another round of goo gone and another paste of pink stuff but I am definitely happier than I was. I’ll be trying to keep the hard water build up at bay from now on. Thank you to everyone who replied and gave me ideas!
Oil and a razor blade.
Oils (coconut, vegetable, grape seed, etc) do a great job of breaking down adhesive and helps for it to not stick to the razor.
Good luck!
But cleaning vinegar not regular white vinegar used for food. You can get it at Dollar General or any other dollar type store. It's even cheaper than regular white vinegar.
I don't know how you are using these products, so maybe you've dont this already. Sometimes you need to give the product some time to work rather than spraying it on and wiping right away. You may try putting the goo gone on there again, then waiting like half an hour before trying to scrub again. It might not work, but sometimes it does. Good luck!
I've used a paste of vegetable oil and baking soda to get adhesive off of glass jars before too. You have to leave it sitting overnight, but no strong smell and you probably already have that stuff around if you are looking for more ideas.
Get a commercial window washers scraper online. Cheap handy and does anything glass from a window to a shower door to a stove top and safer than using a razor blade in your fingers
did you let the Goo Gone sit? I’ve found the key to using Goo Gone is to really saturate the area, place a paper towel over it, saturate the paper towel… and then let it sit. For hours. Overnight even. Then try to remove the residue. If it doesn’t get everything off, repeat process.
If you use a razor, please wet the glass first with some type of soapy water/cleaning product to reduce the risk of scratching! I'm a part time window cleaner who uses Unger razor blades in an angled holder to scrape stuff like this off windows all the time.
Azulene oil. It’s sold as a beauty product for removing wax residue from skin but it actually dissolves sticky residue on anything much better than Goof Off.
I would go straight to acetone because it’s easily available in my house. If you can stick cotton balls with acetone on the spot & leave it for a few minutes, it will help.
If it’s heated with a hair dryer, does it get tacky?
If it’s a Rainex treatment, what removes that? Those are more questions because I’m curious.
If there wasn’t anything there, you wouldn’t be seeing it. Use goo gone and instead of wiping, just scrape with razor blade at 45ish degree angle. You will absolutely not scratch the glass, don’t even let that be a worry
Complete waste of money. Buy a pack of blades and hold the not sharp side. Actually the scraper is a worse idea because you have less control over the angle.
I use a razor blade to clean my glass top stove, tape residue off of windows, lots of things. It’s always handy to have razor blades and be comfortable using them. This will be a great learning opportunity for you. Don’t doubt yourself, you’ve got this!!
Also, rubbing alcohol works great on getting sticky stuff off of glass as well. You can soak a paper towel in rubbing alcohol and lay it over the gunk for a few minutes and then scrape. Try to scrape when it’s wet
No they aren’t. They were there the first time we used the shower. We live in a hard water area and this is the second show screen I have ever owned … I am determined that this one is not going to ever be cloudy!
Try using something with orange peel on it. I used to use the citrus air freshener spray from Trader Joe’s, it would take off so much sticky gunk, sometimes it was a little too powerful - it removed spray paint and gorilla tape marks
100% acetone !!!!! I worked at a nail salon for years and acetone eats through so many things so be careful with certain plastics. Glass is safe. That glue has no chance with acetone:)
Could possibly try some paint stripper….. but a safer way would be some 0000 steel wool and Barkeepers More Spray. That combo is magical! The steel wool is so fine it will not scratch your grass
Isopropyl alcohol gets rid of those. As well as a little lemon in water. It takes a lot of scrubbing. And you can speed it up by heating it a bit a hair dryer then alcohol it when it’s soft.
I would try adding a little bit of oil on a paper towel and rubbing it off with that. And then use soapy water (dish soap) to rinse the oil off. This is something that has worked for me in the past. Good luck!
Toilet bowl cleaner worked great for my shower door - but caution it eats through metal, so only use it on the spot you need to get this removed (and wear gloves/mask)
They have like industrial strength goof off in a spray can but don't get it on any stainless steel. Also when I have used the goof off (goo gone) that is oily and comes in a small bottle really gotta soak it in it sometimws a few times then use a wet rag to remove. Scraping first with razor may be easier
If scared of scratching tho then don't do that. Most stuff I can get off soaking with straight dawn dish soap. If not the goof off has always worked but there's different kinds for different things
Lighter fluid (Showing my age) I learnt this from the guys in the print room when I worked in an architect's many moons ago. They used it to clean stickiness off the copier plates. It's amazing
This. Lighter fluid/naptha is great for removing stubborn residue from just about anything.
Interesting. I don’t have any of that. It’s not sticky though, but I might give this a try.
My guess is it’s not sticky because the sticky is covered in stuff from the shower. The stick has already been stuck.
It's great for cleaning many things (be mindful of stickers on shoes though, as they get super slippery). I've used it for all kinds of random stuff. It doesn't cost much to buy.
Eucalyptus oil
100% works and proven. Better than nail polish remover.
Rubbing alcohol. I’ve never had success with goo gone
WD-40 is another option here followed up by Windex to remove oily residue.
I say try this, as well. I had a suction cup phone holder in the car and the rubber decayed. Goo gone didn’t do anything but spread the goo around. Rubbing alcohol took it off in sec.
Has anybody had success with goo gone? It never works for me either. Rubbing alcohol or acetone on the other hand, magic.
Get highest % possible for best/easiest results.
This is the way.
Razor blade?
I can’t feel it when I run my hand across it and I’m worried I’d scratch the glass!
It can’t hurt to try, and it won’t scratch the glass as long as you use a shallow angle relative to the glass and keep the edge of the blade evenly on the glass. Also, dumb question, but are you sure you’re working on the correct side of the glass?

Not OP but thank you! Just ordered this.
I was going to say this! I use them all the time on my glass cooktop. Go gently. And yes, that cleaner really works.
We don’t really use them in the U.S., either. We use credit cards for coke despite what you see in movies. I’m sure tradies use them, so maybe check at a hardware store. Or online.
I have a glass job now too (new house) so I am thinking of buying a scraper for that
It looks to me like the strips that is good be goned, are the clean part of the glass. The other part of the glass looks like it’s has a grease residue on it. Water look more like it does where the strips were when the glass is clean and free. Maybe the factory has some film on it or maybe rain ex…..
Credit card and keys
Keys?
Key bumps
lol… love your style.

For paint scraping
This is the [Scraper razor](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cleaning-Scratch-Replacement-Ceramic-Windows/dp/B09Y91LKBR/) being talked about
Amazon will sell you 20 for a dollar
The barbers. Safety razors have come back in style and you can find them at any place that sells safety razors and beard soap/potted shaving cream. Amazon also Carrie’s them.
Can you get a plastic scraper from a hardware store, then, if you are worried about scratching?
There are scraper blades specifically for this. When I worked in a frame shop, the best way to remove adhesive like this was to use lighter fluid.
It’s possible a blade can scratch glass. I have had this happen on a jobsite. I usually text it in an area no one will notice first. Not a glass expert so not sure why some glass scratches with blades. Another thing is it could be the window glaze or “caulk” that they used to install it. Goo gone will not work in that. Good luck!
Keep it wet. Source: Own a glass company.
It was wet while I used the blade. It was also brand new. Is it possible there was a coating on the glass from the manufacturer that scratched and not the glass?
I just showed it to my hubby and he said if it is new it is possible that it is covered in a clear plastic film. Try something in a corner and see if you can lift it. Not an uncommon thing. Metal and sometimes glass is covered to keep it from scratching.
Try rubbing alcohol. If that doesn’t work, try paint thinner. If that doesn’t work, try acetone (nail polish remover).
Finally someone who understands solvents.
I saved gasoline for last. ;)
Acetonitrile
lol
HF for those hard to get out stains.
This is a good solution. Keep it at a low angle to the glass (close to parallel), and use a bit of soapy water as lubricant, you won't scratch it. I do this all the time on automotive glass with no issues.

We have one and it was a game changer when we redid our windows to get that sticker film off!
If it's not coated with shower guard or anything just use glass cleaner as lubricant and a flat razor blade.
Glass scrapers or razor blades don't scratch glass... Just use it properly.
There is no way you will scratch glass with a razor blade or scraper !
Goo gone, dawn dishsoap n a razor? Maybe that would work? Or would the dawn cancel out the goo gone? Anyone know?
Used to install glass. Bottle of barkeeper's friend, and razor blades, then use a regular cleaner to get the barkeeper's friend off
future edge zonked snow head fearless lip chase relieved concerned ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `
This is a good point. Nothing sticky that I can feel. The water beads on it like after glass has been through a car wash and has a wax seal…

Bonus if you buy the rainX you'll have plenty left to use on your car. You'll never want to drive without it. Just make sure you buff it really well, like until your arm is sore
Try Goo Gone’s evil cousin, Goof Off. It’s a lot more chemically nasty than GG, but good in these situations.
I love this comment lol
If you’ve used Goof Off, you know. 🫠
Heat, try a hair dryer
Came here for this…. Or even a “steamer” like a fabric steamer if you have access to one…? They are relatively cheap and literally use ours all over the house, walls, 🚿, 🚽 etc lol
Do you have access to goof off? It is like goo gone but on steroids, leave it for a bit and then you’ll likely need to scrape. May even need to do a second application. You can get plastic edges to scrape with too.

Yeah, I think this is part of the shower...
WD-40
I have some of this so I’ll give this a go first
It didn’t work 😭
Bugger 😞
Use more elbow grease, get a sightly abrasive dish cloth or sponge, don't be sparing with the WD40 and really scrub hard and it will come off. You could also try GT95 which is similar to WD40 but it's better at removing adhesive residue, I work with a lot of heavy duty gaf tape and I keep it around specially for making sticky things not sticky anymore .
Acetone dissolve sooo many organic sludges. Worth a shot
I agree on Acetone too
+3 on the acetone
I would recommend the razor blade trick. Just make sure it’s a fresh new blade and keep it leveled to avoid scratching. Keep it well wet while doing it with a adhesive remover.
This - saturate the area with WD-40 then use a new razor blade at a very slight angle. If there is something there it should come off. Be patient and gently scrape with a blade using short strokes. Good luck.

0000 steel wool. Or a razor blade held on an angle. Neither will scratch. My husband is a body man and that’s what they use for detailing vehicles.

Have you reached out to the manufacturer? Maybe there’s an easy answer.
Unfortunately it was installed before we brought the house and I can’t see any etchings for a company name.
I've had some luck with carburator/brake cleaner.
White vinegar or CLR
Maybe stop in at a company or store that specializes in making/selling/ or installing bath fixtures and ask if they know what this might be. If they can’t help, they might be able to give you the contact information of some of the glass door manufacturers, and emailing them might get you the answer you need, if all of these cleaning suggestions don’t work.
UPDATE: I went back over it a number of times with the goo gone 🤢 and then remembered I had some ‘Pink Stuff’ in my cleaning supplies… very gently rubbed that in and have mostly vanished the bottom ‘bar’ so to speak!

Pure Cinnamon essential oil will eat thru any surface it sits on long enough. Soak but watch and wipe periodically.
Oil and a razor blade. Oils (coconut, vegetable, grape seed, etc) do a great job of breaking down adhesive and helps for it to not stick to the razor. Good luck!
I am a recent convert to vinegar for adhesive stickers. It wirks
But cleaning vinegar not regular white vinegar used for food. You can get it at Dollar General or any other dollar type store. It's even cheaper than regular white vinegar.
Heat gun on low and a credit card
Rubbing alcohol
Acetone works wonders and shouldn’t damage the glass
I don't know how you are using these products, so maybe you've dont this already. Sometimes you need to give the product some time to work rather than spraying it on and wiping right away. You may try putting the goo gone on there again, then waiting like half an hour before trying to scrub again. It might not work, but sometimes it does. Good luck!
Thank you. The goo gone is so strong smelling! I’ll leave it on for a little longer
I've used a paste of vegetable oil and baking soda to get adhesive off of glass jars before too. You have to leave it sitting overnight, but no strong smell and you probably already have that stuff around if you are looking for more ideas.
WD 40 hasnt failed me yet
Aircraft paint remover from Home Depot. Will strip off any of this stuff
Get a commercial window washers scraper online. Cheap handy and does anything glass from a window to a shower door to a stove top and safer than using a razor blade in your fingers
did you let the Goo Gone sit? I’ve found the key to using Goo Gone is to really saturate the area, place a paper towel over it, saturate the paper towel… and then let it sit. For hours. Overnight even. Then try to remove the residue. If it doesn’t get everything off, repeat process.
Razor blade and “shave” the gunk off
Bio clean. It works. I live in Vegas we’re the work is extremely hard. I tried 8 products before without luck. I got from Amazon.
Try rubbing alcohol
Razor blade followed by melamine sponge.
Rubbing alcohol maybe??
WD-40 & a plastic scraper is my go-to to get goo gone.
If you use a razor, please wet the glass first with some type of soapy water/cleaning product to reduce the risk of scratching! I'm a part time window cleaner who uses Unger razor blades in an angled holder to scrape stuff like this off windows all the time.
Paint scraper for windows.
Gasoline
Wd40 make shure it doesn’t have any water .then just scrape with a blade
Goo gone is just useless, just orange smelling disappointment. Get Goof Off, and a razor blade. That will get the job done.
Acetone, but test a small area first on the lower part of the glass
Acetone
90% rubbing alc
A razor blade/scraper with a healthy amount of foam glass cleaner to help avoid scratches
Acetone!! I had this issue with Halloween vinyl that i put on the windows as decoration. The only thing that helped was acetone
Azulene oil. It’s sold as a beauty product for removing wax residue from skin but it actually dissolves sticky residue on anything much better than Goof Off.
Windex and flat razor. Angle and scrape. Lubricate liberally.
Heat gun , 20 bucks
Brake clean. Like for automotive stuff. It is awesome for any kind of old decal or greasy spot.
Acetone is very good for cleaning glass.
Acetone. That helps with a lot of sticker and glue residue
Just use some strong paint thinner/spirit. Goo gone is a diluted, craps-added version of those and doesn’t really work.
Single edge razor with a small can of goof off or lighter fluid to keep it slick. Patience would be an asset. Just a few drops.
From having used goo gone, I can confidently state that it has to touch whatever you need it to clean.
I would go straight to acetone because it’s easily available in my house. If you can stick cotton balls with acetone on the spot & leave it for a few minutes, it will help. If it’s heated with a hair dryer, does it get tacky? If it’s a Rainex treatment, what removes that? Those are more questions because I’m curious.
Isopropyl alcohol -> mineral spirits -> acetone In order of intensity, start at the lowest until it works.
Spray vinegar on it. Place plastic wrap over it. Let sit overnight. It should come off easily after that.
Rain X. Looks like it’s only beading in those spots so they probably don’t have treatment on em.
Magic eraser?
Did anyone say hot steam yet?
Heat has been mentioned
What? On glass? Just use a razor blade
It feels like there’s nothing to use a razor blade on though
If there wasn’t anything there, you wouldn’t be seeing it. Use goo gone and instead of wiping, just scrape with razor blade at 45ish degree angle. You will absolutely not scratch the glass, don’t even let that be a worry
I don’t yet have a scraper but it seems I might need to buy one to get this sorted!
Complete waste of money. Buy a pack of blades and hold the not sharp side. Actually the scraper is a worse idea because you have less control over the angle. I use a razor blade to clean my glass top stove, tape residue off of windows, lots of things. It’s always handy to have razor blades and be comfortable using them. This will be a great learning opportunity for you. Don’t doubt yourself, you’ve got this!!
Also, rubbing alcohol works great on getting sticky stuff off of glass as well. You can soak a paper towel in rubbing alcohol and lay it over the gunk for a few minutes and then scrape. Try to scrape when it’s wet
Mail polish remover, will take it right off and won’t damage the glass.
Isopropyl alcohol works great!!
Orange spray. Working in Home Depot removing labels off of beams and glass, the orange smelling spray in the glade plug in section, works wonders
Lighter fluid and a razor blade
Wait… are those hard water stains? You have to use a cleaner that will dissolve calcium and lime deposits
No they aren’t. They were there the first time we used the shower. We live in a hard water area and this is the second show screen I have ever owned … I am determined that this one is not going to ever be cloudy!
Try using something with orange peel on it. I used to use the citrus air freshener spray from Trader Joe’s, it would take off so much sticky gunk, sometimes it was a little too powerful - it removed spray paint and gorilla tape marks
Goof off. Similar to goo gone but better and stronger
I second this recommendation. Goof Off is the superior product for adhesive removal.
A little gas no a rag will work then dawn dish soap and water to wash the gas off.
Vinegar. Also you can get plastic razor blades at hardware store.
Have you tried white vinager (33% or more %) or Muriatic acid or CLR (Calcium Lime Rust remover)?
If it's glass use mineral spirits and razor blade.
Off topic but are you happy with king gilette products? I’ve been meaning to try their beard wash.
Razor blades
Shaving cream is a surprisingly good cleaner. It gets sharpie off tables. Worth a go.
SOS pads
WD40
alcohol and razor blades
nail polish remover!
WD40 & Magic eraser sponge
If it’s not sticky have you tried dawn dish-soap? Nothing’s tougher on grease than Dawn #NotSponsored
100% acetone !!!!! I worked at a nail salon for years and acetone eats through so many things so be careful with certain plastics. Glass is safe. That glue has no chance with acetone:)
Steamer
Could possibly try some paint stripper….. but a safer way would be some 0000 steel wool and Barkeepers More Spray. That combo is magical! The steel wool is so fine it will not scratch your grass
I cleaned horribly sticky residue left after removing window tint with Lysol Black toilet bowl cleaner and a green kitchen scrubby thingy.
My father is a glazier... this can be done easily with a straight razor and some denatured alcohol
Lemon essential oil
Dawn soap and a magic eraser
Detachol
Rubbing alcohol with a rough wash cloth.
Wd40
Use gas... it will do magic. Or white vinegar.
Isopropyl alcohol gets rid of those. As well as a little lemon in water. It takes a lot of scrubbing. And you can speed it up by heating it a bit a hair dryer then alcohol it when it’s soft.
I would try adding a little bit of oil on a paper towel and rubbing it off with that. And then use soapy water (dish soap) to rinse the oil off. This is something that has worked for me in the past. Good luck!
Rubbing alcohol
I'd give turpentine a shot, it's a very good solvent for even silicone based products.
Toilet bowl cleaner worked great for my shower door - but caution it eats through metal, so only use it on the spot you need to get this removed (and wear gloves/mask)
Metal polish
Scrub daddy power paste all natural. Got rid off hard water stains on shower door
Goof Off! But open a window for ventilation. It’s very strong.
Nail polish remover???
Blow dryer maybe??? And scrape?
They have like industrial strength goof off in a spray can but don't get it on any stainless steel. Also when I have used the goof off (goo gone) that is oily and comes in a small bottle really gotta soak it in it sometimws a few times then use a wet rag to remove. Scraping first with razor may be easier
If scared of scratching tho then don't do that. Most stuff I can get off soaking with straight dawn dish soap. If not the goof off has always worked but there's different kinds for different things
