An easy way to remove labels from food jars?

[PinkCloudDweller]

HI, I soak my jars and can remove most of the labels, but there's always some sticky residue left I can't shift. How can I get rid of it?

WD40 will do it easily. Put the jars through the dishwasher afterwards, or wash them hot with plenty of bubbles and a good rinse.

There's some stuff called 'Sticky Stuff Remover' which really does what it says on the tin.

WD40. Followed by a wash with detergent.

WD40. I laughed in DH's face when he suggested it but 30 seconds later, all gone and no more laughter. He's right occasionally

Sticky stuff remover- it's great

Oil, any oil, sunflower, olive, anything you have.

Rub it on and leave for a while then it scrapes off easily.

Thanks! Off to try oil and WD40 if it doesn't work x x
