Do you reuse glass food jars? We love to save both large and small empty jars to use for zero-waste food and household storage but hate when paper labels and sticky glue won’t come off after running jars through the dishwasher. Fortunately, I have a quick and easy (and environmentally-friendly) fix to get jars squeaky clean!
Read on to learn more about how to get your jars squeaky clean without the use of harsh chemicals or weird ingredients you don’t have? Let’s do it!
First, fill your sink or a large glass bowl (one big enough to submerge jars) with hot water. Cold or warm water will work as well, but hot water will help to quickly melt the glue on the labels.
Add 1-2 tablespoons of a mild dish soap and ½ cup of vinegar to the water. The dish soap will remove the paper labels from glass food jars and the vinegar will help to remove the sticky glue that is used on some food labels.
Next, add the glass jars to the water, making sure the labels are completely submerged, and let them soak for 20-30 minutes while the dish soap and vinegar work their magic on the labels.
Take the jars out of the water and remove labels from the jars. The labels should come off easily without any sticky residue, however if there are pesky glues or paper still stick to the jars then move on to the next step to get those labels off once and for all.
If you’re still dealing with sticky labels, it’s time to put in a little elbow grease. In a small bowl mix together equal parts oil and baking soda and stir to combine. For only a few small jars this may be 2 tablespoons of both oil and baking soda, but for more jars use ¼-⅓ cup of each.
Once combined, rub the oil and soda mixture onto the sticky label and then use a dish rag or a scrubbing brush to rub the label clean. You may need to let the oil mixture sit on the label for a few minutes to loosen up the adhesive glue.
