GOO Gone

Can anyone recommend an alternative to this product? My local stores don't have it. I want to clean the glue from some stickers on my new fridge, so gasoline is out of the question. Anyone?

This isn't a thread about jizz-moppers is it?

benzene is a great solvent, as is toluene, but they give you cancer, liver I believe.

Lighter fluid works well too,

My new TV had a sticker under the screen that appeared to be removable... based on the amount of adhesive left behind I guess it was supposed to stay. I went after the sticky stuff with the WD 40. Soak a small spot on a cloth rag and get it fairly wet. It will melt away in no time.

I'd agree with the WD-40, but would also suggest -- if you want to try to avoid fumes -- to try adhesive tape. Applying something like duct tape, or packing tape, and pulling it off rapidly (multiple times) can sometimes be an effective method for removing the residue of stickers.
