fluffymuppet Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Hi guys, I washed the labels off some jam jars yesterday and it has left the glue behind. It doesn't seem susceptible to hot soapy water. Is there an easy way to get it off? Thanks Emma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicola H Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 WD 40............It smells horrible though, eucalyptus oil smells nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 On that line of thinking if you don't have either of those to hand maybe just try a cooking oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 You can buy something called sticky stuff remover, I got mine from Lakeland, it smells of orange oil. It claims to remove adhesives, gum, tar, wax, crayon, grease and grime off china, glass,plastic, fabric, paintwork, skin and hair. It is also non toxic, non caustic and non flammable ......phew! Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 That sounds good Claire, I shall have to look out for that when I go to Stratford on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I use that one, it is really good - and the smell doesn't give me migraines as some of the others would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindy Loo Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I use either nail polish remover or a bit of furniture polish (surprisingly a squirt of Pledge usually does the trick). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I use that one, it is really good - and the smell doesn't give me migraines as some of the others would. Great minds Lesley! You don't get a 'high' with it either As an aside, have you ever got a headache from a new magazine or catalogue, some of them really whiff!

One Man Banned Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I just use a scouring pad and some washing up liquid in hot water - does the trick nicely and swiftly! A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
