How to Clean Off and Remove the Glue from Baby Food Jars
Saturday, August 18th, 2007We tend to go through a log of baby food jars in my house. I have found that there is a demand for them at schools and scouts and a number of other project oriented groups. These jars are expected to be completely cleaned inside and out, including the removal of the glue that holds the label onto the jar. It is extremely difficult to get the glue off these jars. It is definitely made to keep that label attached.
I have done a little research on the internet and have found that there is very little information on how to remove that glue. After a little digging, I did find 2 different ways. I have found that #2 is the most effective and the quickest way to remove the glue.
- Before you remove the label, soak the jar in hot water. Then slowly remove the label making sure that all the glue comes off at the same time. This seems to be the easiest and cheapest way.
- If your jars are already missing their labels, Use Goo Gone(you can get this at Walmart) to remove the glue with a little warm water and scrubbing. It actually comes off really easy with this product, but it has a very strong odor. Hake sure you have good ventallation
