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.
I spray paint the lids silver. 😂 Use for non-food mostly, like buttons, zippers, packs of sewing needles, machine presser feet, ribbon. Nice video. Love your countertop.
thanks for the oil and baking soda tip on the plastic and glass jars. I use those in my pantry and cabinets for snack foods and cookies. In my frig, I use them to store leftover soups, cooked spaghetti, etc. thanks again. Love your kitchen!!
I save these and reuse all the time. I think your method is safe and nontoxic. I don't put my plastic containers in my dishwasher to clean them out, even with the heat turned off because it shrink wrinkles the plastic.
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.
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.
I save ALL my containers. One use is storing my dehydrated veggies in them. Also, rice and beans. Great idea with the olive oil and baking soda! Must try!!
No they are not but I don’t use hem for long term storage but the stuff that I pull from regularly… for example I make my own kombucha so when it do a double ferment I use dehydrated or freeze dried fruit…l use those for holding stuff like that since I use it often
Yes, actually buy thing with an eye to reusing the container when ever possible. I grew up on a farm back in the 50's we always reused everything. Now days I try to avoid plastic containers, and over packages things.
**I use WD 40-- spray, sit~5min, then scrape off. **Clean off grease & goop with Dawn, rinse well!! Love your videos-- fabulous attitude, smile, & pace of both speech & hand motions! Peace to Everyone!
I only reuse glass and recycle plastic, tubs like cottage cheese go to soup kitchen. I use oil and sprinkle baking soda, I'll try the paste, thank you.
I use mayonnaise on the residue. Usually overnight though. Washes right off with dish liquid on a dish cloth. Sometimes a plastic pot scrubber is needed. Still going to try the oil and baking soda. Thanks for sharing!
You can also use peanut butter mixed with baking soda and maybe a bit of water. Messy but effective. Steel wool or Brillo pads help with stubborn glue…
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.
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.
Oh boy, that' s an excellent process. I wind up putting paper over that sticky residue. Not pretty😂 Thanks for sharing your process. And God Bless your farm🎉
I love, love, love good glass jars....can hardly thrown them away. To remover odor such as vinegar, pickle juice, etc., from lids, place lid in hot sun, inside up, for a day or two and odor will be gone.
I always rub/soak the label with turps. Let it stand a while. It comes off very easy. If there's any stickyness left I just rub some more turps on it. Squeeky clean. 😊
@@Farm812Family no. I’ve tried vinegar and baking soda. My biggest problems are pickle jars and spaghetti sauce. I’ll try the bleach solution. Thank you for responding
@@DianeDenson-n7x no, I did a mixture of vinegar and baking soda. I’ll try water instead. I’ve soaked with dish soap. Ran through the dishwasher several times. Some lids are just stubborn I guess. Thank you
Put some vanilla extract on a paper towel, then rub the vanilla extract on the inside of the lid. Don’t rinse it off. Then drop the paper towel into the jar. Drop in a few cloves. Seal the jar up for a few days. I do this for the inside of a cooler too.
The store bought glass kombucha bottles are THE WORST!! I’ve tried everything!!! I still end up using a scraper and tearing my hands up … but since they’re made for fermenting gases and no make my own kombucha they’re worth the effort
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.
I make my own Dawn powerwash using rubbing alcohol… the 91 makes the best mixture but I’ll use whatever I have that open … also the homemade powerwash does great with the paper labels …

Great tip! Does it need to have acetone in it, or does acetone free work as well?
Be careful with acetone. It will dissolve some plastics and the paint on lids. Acetone is a weapon of mass destruction.
@@Farm812FamilyI would suggest acetone free for all non glass or ceramic containers.
I just need to tell you that I REALLY LOVE YOUR ATTITUDE! I wish everyone had one like yours. 😊
Thanks!
Putting them in the freezer for an hour or two 🎉also works on some containers, especially prescription bottles. They just peel right off.

Very helpful to recycle at home and make use of the bottles - yes just like our ancestors did👍🏽😊

Ugh, we had a dishwasher disaster, so it's all old school hand washing for me these days. Some days I sure miss it though. Thanks for watching!

@@JustOneDress oxygen absorbers work for that
I love those square plastic container for food storage, like pastas. Nail polish remover will dull the plastic.
Never thought to use the water from the inside out! I also use the hair dryer a lot. And 91 or 99% alcohol will remove the adhesive. Thank you!
I figured out how to do this after YEARS of manual labor😅. Wish I’d seen this a decade ago!
Yes, actually buy thing with an eye to reusing the container when ever possible. I grew up on a farm back in the 50's we always reused everything. Now days I try to avoid plastic containers, and over packages things.
Thank you for the hack amd demo on these containers. I save the plastic containers & glass jars. I had a hard time with the plastic ones. Thank you. !
I do reuse and recycle. Pantry items for sure. I also craft and use them in crafting. Blessings!
Definitely worth the effort. Jars will be gold!
Forgot to say what a gorgeous kitchen you have. Crushing😊

We empty one of those containers a week lol I have so many containers empty I have been tossing them now I will clean them and keep them
Any kind of oil you would have in your kitchen will work. The oil breaks down the cyanoacrylate bond in the adhesive.
I use mayonnaise on the residue. Usually overnight though. Washes right off with dish liquid on a dish cloth. Sometimes a plastic pot scrubber is needed. Still going to try the oil and baking soda. Thanks for sharing!
Mayonnaise is eggs and oil, right?❤
Rub peanut butter on the glue it brakes down glue I do it every time
That would be because of the oil. Here, the baking soda thickens the oil... 🙂👍

Also use a hairdryer to ease the label off.
Excellent tip Video!!! 👏
Lighter fluid on a cotton ball works very well! Wash afterwards... Viola! ❤
That's the best way to do it and take only a few minutes and the container is Cristal clear and clean....
Definite winner😊😊
Thanks a lot! You are so sincere, helpful and totally awesome!
@@iffatsiddiqui3205 Thank you for watching, and for the kind words of support!
I use a hair dryer & nail polish remover for the residue..
Soaking a few minutes in soapy water is much easier. But it's good to have alternatives.
Amazing video. I have tried and tried. I can't wait to use your ideas
I use these containers to store snacks lentils etc
I spray with WD40 and let it sit about 15 minutes. It then slides right off.
I’ve used the hot water followed by oil and baking soda scrub and it works great! But, I can not get strong odors from the lids! Any tips for that?
@@br2080 Hmm, I’ve never had this issue before. Have you tried soaking them in bleach water? (2:1 ratio)
@@Farm812Family no. I’ve tried vinegar and baking soda. My biggest problems are pickle jars and spaghetti sauce. I’ll try the bleach solution. Thank you for responding
Have you tried mix about a tablespoon of water with baking soda , then spread on the inside of the lid and leave overnight? Wash in the morning??

Un-Du sticker remover works so great!
I soak mine in hot soapy water then scrape mine with a knife, and apply dish liquid and use a scourer to clean up ,
I use essential oils no rubbing needed 😊
The store bought glass kombucha bottles are THE WORST!! I’ve tried everything!!! I still end up using a scraper and tearing my hands up … but since they’re made for fermenting gases and no make my own kombucha they’re worth the effort
Use peanut butter it will take the stick off the jar
I put hot water in the jar it easy to come out
Have you ever tried a hair dryer. Always works for me.

91% alcohol is strong hospital grade. It can be harsh on sensitive skin. Wear gloves.
I make my own Dawn powerwash using rubbing alcohol… the 91 makes the best mixture but I’ll use whatever I have that open … also the homemade powerwash does great with the paper labels …
Lemon essential oil. Very easy
Soak in my hot dish water to remove the paper and WD-40 takes off the sticky residue.
used olive oil & wd40 & goof off to assorted paint removers & other caustics... your method is more simple yet efficient
💐👏💖🙏✨✨💐 thank you!!
Easier….'GOO Gone'! Less messy!
Thanks
We need to reuse and save the planet
Peanut butter works too.
Goo gone works too
Goo gone removes the sticky residue .
I always use WD40
I just use (100%) peanut butter (soft, almost runny with its own oil); rub it on
Hello (GOO GONE)
Goooogone
I just use a hairdryer
Eeeep
Use your hairdryer
Seriously …😂
Almost 15 minutes to tell people two words ?
Too time consuming
Too long a time.
