# How to Remove the Goo Residue From Windows
The goo left behind on windows consists of adhesive glue from stickers or tape. Manufacturer's stickers, painter’s tape or stickers that your children placed on the windows can cause a sticky residue to remain on the glass surface. Wiping the residue off the windows with water may cause the adhesive to spread. To deal with the unsightly glue, remove the residue from the glass with the proper cleaners to prevent damage to the windows.
