Introduction
Have you ever reused a glass jar and found yourself faced with those annoying sticky residues from labels or glue? Luckily, with a few ingredients you already have at home, you can solve the problem in a matter of seconds. This guide will show you how to do it in a simple and eco-friendly way, leaving your jars sparkling and ready to be used again.
Ingredients
Warm water
Dish soap
Baking soda
Vegetable oil (optional)
Scouring sponge or soft cloth
Directions
Soak the jar: Fill a basin with warm water and add a few drops of dish soap. Soak the jar for at least 10-15 minutes to soften the residue.
Make an abrasive paste: In a small bowl, mix two parts baking soda with one part vegetable oil. This combination will act as a gentle abrasive to remove the glue residue.
Scrub gently: Use a scouring pad or soft cloth to apply the paste to the sticky residue. Scrub in a circular motion until the glue is completely removed.
Rinse and dry: Rinse the jar with warm water to remove any residue and dry with a clean cloth.
Serving and Storage Tips
Creative reuse: Use your clean jars to store jams, homemade sauces, spices or as decorative containers.
Safe storage: Make sure the jar is completely dry before using it to avoid mold.
