Removing stubborn labels from empty screw-top jars

ID: 163378

Description: I save all good jam jars and other screw-top...

Steps:

1. Spray the adhesive residue all around with the spray. If the label is still attached, spray the label.
2. Leave the spray to act for about 10 minutes.
3. After 10 minutes, you will notice that the holes and cracks in the adhesive are getting bigger.

4. After 10 minutes, try to scrape off the adhesive with your fingernail. If this does not work yet, leave the spray on for a little longer.
5. Then scrape off the adhesive residue roughly with your fingernails or the back of a knife.
6. Next, take a dishwashing sponge and rub off the adhesive as best you can with the abrasive side of the sponge.

7. Rinse off the adhesive residue with hot water. Put some dish soap on the sponge and use the scouring side to help remove the adhesive.

8. If there is still adhesive residue, spray the glass again all around with the label remover.
9. Wait 10 minutes.
10. Put some dish soap directly on the glass and rub it in well with your finger.
11. Rinse it again with hot water and scrub it with the sponge.
12. Repeat this step until the adhesive is removed. In my case, spraying twice was enough to remove the stubborn label adhesive residue.
