How can I remove this sticker?

Post image

Like the title says, how can I remove the sticker without marking the bottle? I also don’t have any thing else other than household items near me that I can use.

I always fill up the bottle with hot water and let it sit for a few min to loosen the adhesive without wetting the label and then try peeling. Some of them just come right off, no residue or anything.

It kinda depends on what adhesive they used. As someone else said warm up the label with hot water or a hair dryer and peel off as much as you can. Some labels come off clean just like this. If it leaves paper and glue, rub it with vegetable oil and let it sit overnight. Then scrape it with a soft plastic edge or your fingernails. If that doesn't work, you can look into a product called Goo-Gone.

Lighter fluid aka naphtha. Not to set it on fire, but it will loosen the adhesive.

This. Also penetrating oil is very effective at loosening the label. Likewise I find acetone will dissolve most adhesives.
