Rather stupidly I taped up round the edge of some windows (eight windows both inside and out) before painting the woodwork (I'm not accurate enough to do it without taping) using gaffer tape rather than masking tape because I had run out.
A week later when I come to pull the tape off, it is very firmly stuck when I eventually get the tape off it has left a gluey residue which I'm struggling to remove using cloth, hot water and soap..
is there an easier way, clearly I dont want to scratch the glass, is there some detegent that breaks down the gluey residue ?
I did think about using my wallpaper stripper, but UI was worried the heat could crack the glass, would that work ?

I typically use Goo Gone (US product), will remove most. Rubbing Alcohol is another item that works for some adhesive. Or clorox wipes also works on some.
