The labels on glass jars of sauces, honey, jams are stubborn and never easy to remove. <\/strong> And yet, those containers are very useful. We can recycle them to fill them with new condiments or homemade preparations, or even to transform them into small household lanterns or other objects. With DIY, in short, we are able to create any type of decoration and on our site you have a wide variety of different possibilities to reinvent them, but with one condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They come back like new, without the slightest residue of glue or paper that compromises their appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every time we try to take them off, we end up scratching with our nails in a vain attempt to get rid of the leftovers<\/strong> . Result? The goal fails and our manicure is terribly tested by the somewhat reckless operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If we have to take care of the beauty of our creations, we certainly cannot forget ourselves and sacrifice our hands! It is better to act with caution and with greater wisdom, preferably the ancient wisdom of our grandmothers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are two foolproof methods to do it effortlessly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Without a doubt, manufacturers are using increasingly resistant glues to make the labels on their bottles indelible or almost indelible, as if to transform their brand into a coat of arms in the eternal memory of consumers. It has become difficult, therefore, to be able to definitively eliminate the memory of what was contained in the packaging that we would like to recycle.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We scratch, we scratch and there are two cases: either our nails break or, if we use a knife, the glass splinters. But there is a solution! In fact, there are two!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first possibility we have to remove the labels without \u201churting them\u201d is to boil the jars only in a pot of water<\/strong> . Heat and high temperatures will melt the adhesive in a matter of minutes. Let’s wring it out, let it cool and just remove the paper, it will slide off instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The second method works especially in the most stubborn cases: we resort to it when desperation takes hold of us and we have tried in every way to get rid of the label without success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Place the containers in a large saucepan, submerge them in water and add a heaping tablespoon of vinegar and dish soap. <\/strong> Turn on the stove, bring to a boil, wait 5 minutes and turn off the gas. Wait for the liquid to cool completely, but let them soak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The labels should simply be peeled off like this; <\/strong> But if that’s not enough, once drained, rub the jars with a slightly abrasive sponge to remove any residue and you’re done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I stopped scratching jars; It only takes me a few steps to remove the labels The labels on glass jars of sauces, honey, jams are stubborn and never easy to remove.
