Many thanks in anticipation.  Sorry late to this party. I’ve found furniture polish works brilliant for this.

WD40 does a grand job on jar labels.

Tried the Branstons today having found it. I would say it probably still tastes the same as in 2010 - but that's not a recommendation.
I've not made any pickles this year but plenty of jam, and have lots of soft fruit in freezer if I need to make any more. My son gave me a jar of a tomato and chilli pickle that was absolutely delicious but when I asked about the recipe both he and his partner couldn't remember what they had put in it.

Just tried Mr Muscle furniture polish and even though I have the sweetest smelling jars, the sticky is still on them!

I use block furniture polish that seems to work for me.
MrB did recommend me using cellulose thinners but I don’t fancy having the house smell like his shed.

I haven't tried baby wipes for this but they do seem to remove a lot of things though.
