There are several ways to remove labels from plastic jars:
1. Use white vinegar:
- Pour white vinegar on the label and soak it completely.
- Wait about 10 minutes to allow the acid in the vinegar to soften the glue.
- Use your fingernail or a plastic scraper to gently peel off the label from one corner.
- If there is any glue residue, repeat the above steps or wipe it with a damp cloth.
2. Use a hair dryer:
- Use a hair dryer to blow hot air on the label to soften the glue.
- The label will be easier to peel off after heating.
- After it is softened, use your fingernail or scraper to gently peel off the label.
3. Use alcohol:
- Dip a cotton ball or cloth in some alcohol (preferably medical alcohol).
- Cover the label with the cotton ball or cloth dipped in alcohol and let it soak.
- Wait a few minutes and try to gently peel off the label.
4. Use medicated oil:
- Pour medicated oil on the label and let it soak. - After waiting for a few minutes, use a cotton cloth to push and rub hard in the same direction.
- The glue will be pushed in one direction and then tied together, and then it can be directly removed.
5. Use tape:
- Use strong adhesive tape to repeatedly stick and tear off the label.
- Tape can stick to the glue on the label.
6. Use soapy water and ammonia:
- Cleaning with soapy water and an appropriate amount of ammonia will help remove the residual glue.
7. Use special detergent:
- Use a special detergent or a decontamination paste on sports shoes to scrub and remove.
8. Physical method:
- If the label is not very sticky, you can try to tear it off directly by hand.
- For labels that are difficult to tear off, you can use a blunt metal tool (such as a plastic scraper) to carefully scrape it off, taking care not to scratch the plastic surface.
9. Natural soaking method:
- Soak the plastic can in hot water for a while to soften the glue before trying to remove it.
When using the above methods, please be careful during the operation to avoid damaging the plastic can. For stubborn glue residue, it may take patience and multiple attempts. If the plastic jar is used for food storage, make sure to clean it thoroughly and remove all chemical residue before using it.
