What is the best way to get label residue and adhesive from empty food jars?

Question

Would I find Goo Gone in the arts and crafts section or home improvement section of a store like Walmart?

Answer 1

You can use lighter fluid or a product called Goo Gone.

Answer 2

Dissolve-It is also a great product to try. It takes off all the paper and the residue. You'll need to use some Windex afterwards, though, to get rid of any oiliness - same with Goo-Gone. You find it in the same section as kitchen cleaners in Walmart.

Answer 3

Goo Gone can be found in the clothing care section of Jo Ann Fabrics

Answer 4

I don't know where to find GooGone because I never use it. Rub some oil (cooking oil, machine oil, any oil will work fine) into the adhesive areas. Let it set for an hour or two. It comes right off. Use soap to remove the oil residue.

Answer 5

Goo gone or WD 40 both work for that

Answer 6

Use GOO-Gone. Its a tad bit greasy and slimy, but it takes the label off easily. After, just wash it with water.

Answer 7

Goo Gone is a great product for that.

Answer 8

Try eucalyptus oil if you have any, or baby oil. Put some on a cotton ball and just rub it on. The glue should come off pretty easily. If it doesn't. apply it with the cotton ball, and let it sit for a little while then try rubbing it off again.

Answer 9

Try about 1/2 teaspoon of milk (whole if you have). I used milk to get glue off a floor that had carpet glued down.

Answer 10

Use GOO-Gone. it takes off almost anything sticky.
