    A lot of people suggest Dishwasher approach. I have not tried it myself, but thats what I heard is best bet.

    Bundle all into a pillow slip, tie a knot so none will get out and put it in the washing machine... Worked brill for me.

    Lighter fluid is generally good at getting old sticker residue off...
