Omg OIL and banking soda, who knew!!! Like I have always used Goo Gone. I go through that stuff like crazy, it’s not super expensive but it adds up you know. I’m definitely going to try this, try and save me some money! You and I have the same label peeling process, but you got me on facing the square container on its side, saves on water-brilliant! My favourite reuse jars are Bonne Maman jars, you know the fabulous French jams. They are paper labels but they slip right off with regular warm dish water. I do dishes by hand, so I put them in the water first but they are last to be washed. Usually by the time I go to grab it the label has already floated off on its own. Like American companies need to get an ecological clue and use whatever they are using because it is just so easy and doesn’t leave any nastiness you have to scrub off.

I could have written everything you said including the Bonne Maman jars being my favs! Are we sisters? Do you also use razor blades to get rid of the extra glue?

You can save time & water by using the blow dryer too. Just be careful on plastic and move it around a bit. Then keep checking to see if sticker is ready to peel. Blow dryer works great on glass too.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only 1 that saves containers. I've been soaking them then use goo off. Looking forward to trying baking soda and oil. Thanks for sharing!

I always use nail polish remover on a cotton wool ball, as it brings off the stickiness within minutes but always good to see a variety of ways to do the same job.

Great tip! Does it need to have acetone in it, or does acetone free work as well?

@j7ndominica051 6 ай бұрын

Be careful with acetone. It will dissolve some plastics and the paint on lids. Acetone is a weapon of mass destruction.

Very useful tip and demonstration. So far I've not known about this method and have used hot water to soak then peeled off or scrubbed off what I could remove. Dried it off and then used a product called Sticky Stuff Remover that dissolves to remaining glue from the surface. But this method is good and costs next to nothing. Very nice.

Thank you! I wish this video appeared way sooner. ❤ Way back in 2019 I had to remove labels from more than 200 different types of bottles for my daughter's wedding. I never knew there were so many different types of labels. Some came off with googone, turpentine, paraffin, nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol or soaking in very hot water for days. Even a hair dryer for plastic labels. Also a combination of all mentioned 😂 Needless to say my hands were ruined. I also use bottles in my pantry for pastas, herbs and spices flour etc.(just pop a few bay leaves in to keep weavels away). The glass I use for bottles for coffe, tea sugar and preserves. Just a couple of days ago I discarded of a few that I just gave up on. Don't ever but bottles or containers with the slightest sign of labels or residue in the dishwasher - it does a fantastic job for many types of labels, but the holes in the spray arms pick them up an get clogged.

Putting them in the freezer for an hour or two 🎉also works on some containers, especially prescription bottles. They just peel right off.

I do the hot water but fill not only the container but I fill my sink & I lay the container on its bottom the put a wet dishcloth on the other label. Then I use a bit of Goo-Gone to get rid of the sticky stuff. Then I scrub everything with dish soap. I have all size of containers.

@j7ndominica051 6 ай бұрын

For glass the water can be boiling hot and will work right away if the glue is oil soluble. If the glue is water soluble, cool the jar and put it in water. PET plastic can deform with hot water and will need to be thrown out. You can use white spirit to not have to wash off the oil. White spirit will eventually evaporate, but the glue has to be collected in a disposable tissue. The ink on the lid can be partially faded with isopropanol. On glass you can just scrape it off.

Use a hair dryer. You need to warm the glue up being careful not to heat jar so much that it melts the plastic. Using the hair dryer melts the glue to the point that there will be no residue left on your jar.
