Default Is there a 'magic' solution for dissolving labels on glassware?

Thanks for the advice.

I'm a firm believer in figuring out what a chemical is, and then
just buying it in bulk.

For example, my female kids love that straight acetone from
my garage works just fine when they run out of nail polish
remover.

And, on of my male kids uses dish detergent instead of shampoo
for his short hair, since he learned that they're practically
the same thing (and all my kids have to buy their own personal
hygiene products since they fight over them all the time).

I'm going to try the following solvents, simply because they
were what are in my garage at the moment:
