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 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!!
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.
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!!
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 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.
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.
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!
@@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
@@user-wr1hv2wx6j 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.
