serving smoothies in glass jar by
recycling pasta sauce jars
removing the sticky label residue
from the jar itself
was an issue for me
stupidly did the stupid step of
burning the jar on stove
oh my goodness
and googled for
so many methods which
I thought of trying
olive oil, nail polish remover etc
until I came to realize
ya the theory behind the burning
is kinda right
heat melts the sticky residue
enabling easier removal
yet there’s an easier way to do it
which is to pour boiling hot water
into the jar and
put on the cap to
capture the heat
wait a little while
and the sticky residue will actually melt
and just peel it off with bare fingers
within 15 minutes,
I actually ended up with this
which I am quite happy with the result
I guess I will just leave the stripes on
how about some really stubborn one
after a round of peeling
I still ended up with this
then moved on to step 2
which is to shower the jar
under running tap water
and rub the residues off
as much as you can
hence I ended up with this
the real stubborn one
which survives stage 2
step 3
repeat the process of
pouring hot water and
start rubbing the residues off
after awhile with
dampened cloth with rough material
I used a microfiber cloth here
recap:
step (1)
pour hot water into the jar
cap it on and wait a little while
peel the label off with finger
step (2), if needed
shower the jar under running water
rub the residue off
as much as you can
step (3)
repeat step (1)
but instead of finger
use a dampened cloth with rough material
to rub the residue off
and here you go
sparkling jar ready to be used
for smoothies for fridge storage
so on and so forth
happy smoothies!
