A product called "goof off" will work like a charm. It stinks but it works wonders...

Rubbing alcohol will damage some surfaces, such as varnished wood. I've found that Goo Gone (a citrus-based product) works well on many surfaces without any damage. Just put a small amount on the sticker residue, let it sit for several minutes, and wipe off with a paper towel. If some residue still remains, just repeat the process.

Any solvent is going to make the residue even stickier and more difficult to remove. You need something with an oil base, hence all the suggestions of peanut butter. However, what has been working for me for the past 20 years is Brasso or an insecticide aerosol. Simply spray on and leave for a few minutes and the whole sticker and residue comes off clean. Rinse and dry, and voila!

Definitely Goo Gone, works on everything and is gentle as well. Takes the residue off then wipe with a wet cloth and it doesn't leave the surface discolored at all. Really is a miracle solution.

I have found peanut butter to be a life saver on this issue. I bought new metal candle holders that had stickers on them and applied a light coat of peanut butter on the sticker. I recommend peeling off as much of the sticker as possible without scratching. Leave it on for a few hours and wipe clean with a soapy cloth. Do not scrape as it will scratch most surfaces. Peanut butter works great on gum too!

There's this stuff called Bug and Tar Remover you can find at Pep Boys or the Auto Zone. Works everytime. Just use a little!

Depending upon the adhesive, sometimes butter or margarine works well, if that doesn't, a product called Goo Gone works great

Windex and a cotton cloth. Let the windex soak in and the gub it off with the cloth. Or, you can go and buy some Goo Gone.

Rubbing Alcohol
WD-40
Also, there is this spray called "Goop" or something like that.
I am not sure if you can still buy it. But it works miracles. It can take anything off anything. Try looking at a hardware store.

There is a product you can get at Bed, Bath, and Beyond called goo be gone. It works really well.
