It can be frustrating if you have a sticky label on a glass or plastic bottle that won’t come off, however, there is a hack on how to remove those labels. Red Ted Art on YouTube demonstrates a basic way with brief and concise instructions. This is a great way to recycle and reuse empty glass or plastic bottles for other craft projects. I’m sure this will work for other items such as coffee mugs or candles. I like to take off sticky tags and labels when I give gifts, so using this tip will be useful in the future. The cooking oil reacts with the sticky adhesive and the baking soda keeps the oil in place without it sliding around everywhere.
Materials:
- cooking oil
- baking soda
- sponge
Directions:
First, add cooking oil to a small bowl and baking soda. Mix the mixture together and spread it over the sticky part where the label is located on the jar or bottle.

Next, let the baking soda paste sit on the jar for about 10-20 minutes. Take a sponge and wipe off the surface where the label is. You might want to have a bowl of water on the side to dip the sponge in to take off the excess stuff on the jar.
In conclusion, this is a great way to prep your jar or bottle for crafting or to reuse to store other food items. I love how this hack is useful for everyday use without having it go to waste. The instructions for this tutorial are easy to follow along with and works. This is a natural way to get rid of sticky labels without having to go to the store to buy extra products.
