How to remove a label from a jar: all the glue and paper will come off in minutes

Removing labels is not an easy task, because the glue that manufacturers use is very strong and difficult to remove completely.

There are many situations in everyday life when you need to get rid of the label. They are often glued to new dishes.

Often, store-bought cans are used for canning, so many housewives clean the outside of the labels and glue.

Sometimes it's difficult to do, so some people leave it as is, while others use a simple trick.

Most label adhesives are wax based, so they are fat soluble.

To dissolve the glue and easily remove the paper sticker, oil solvents should be used.

For example, any vegetable oil will do (sunflower, rapeseed, linseed).

You need to take a cotton pad, apply oil to it and wipe the surface. Then leave it for a while. You need to wait until the glue dissolves.

You can also use nail polish remover instead of oil. The principle of application is the same.
