Removing Label Glue from Bottles

Filed under: Tips & Solutions — Ruth @ 11:24 am

I like to reuse vitamin bottles for seeds and herbs that I harvest, but have long been frustrated that after I had soaked and peeled off most of the label, there was still a sticky layer of glue adhering to the bottles which picked up dirt, or even the bottle next to it. Finally, I figured it was time I go do some research on line. Here’s some neat sites with tips.

Care2.com/channels/solutions/home/222 (soak in vegtable oil first, then wipe off and wash)
ww3.komotv.com (page is full of tips! From rubbing alcohol to peanut butter, and more)
housekeepingchannel.com (peanut butter raves)
bottlebiology.org (hair dryer; and lots of extra tips for school projects with bottles)
