Help! (removing labels)

Scott Hansen of Briarcliff Manor, New York needs some help.

I’ve recently acquired a couple of pieces of Carder Steuben glass that had old price stickers on them. Soap and water doesn’t completely remove the glue residue. Do any of the Gazette readers have a suggestion for what I might use that won’t damage the surface of the glass? Can I use acetone? nail polish remover? alcohol? Would the cleaning agent vary with the type of glass? For instance, should I use something different on Ivrene than I would on Jade? Any help would be appreciated.
