Hello, fellow waste warriors!
Today, I'm sharing the ultimate hack to conquer a common struggle for all of us who love reusing glass jars—sticky labels! Get ready to discover six genius ways to bid farewell to stubborn labels and glue residue, making repurposing your jars a breeze. - Hot Soapy Water, Baking Soda, and Cooking Oil: Soak, peel, and scrub—see the magic happen!
- Essential Oils: Harness the power of eucalyptus, lemon, orange, or tea tree oils for an adhesive-free finish.
- Alcohol: Methylated spirits, isopropanol, or nail polish remover—your secret weapons against glue.
- Citrus-Based Cleaners: Citrusy goodness to dissolve that pesky glue.
- White Vinegar: The zero-waste superhero that removes adhesive with ease.
- Heat or Hairdryer: Applying heat from an oven, microwave, or hairdryer melts the glue, making it easier to remove the label.
Personally, I like the microwave method the best, but you have to be careful enough to not heat it too much. That might cause the glass to break! The aim is to just melt the glue that makes it sticky. Keep those jars fresh and ready for reuse. Share your favourite label-removal method with me!
