How to get the “sticky” out of mason jars in seconds

By Vitia

You will surely have wanted to reuse a glass jar and found yourself struggling with the annoying remains left by the label. This sticky layer of glue and paper residue can be really difficult to get rid of.

Soap and water are certainly not enough to make the jar look like new again. Below we suggest a very effective trick to completely remove all the sticky residue left by the labels of the jars.

You only need hot water, liquid dish soap and vinegar.

Fill a container with water halfway through, add a little dish soap and vinegar, and let the jar soak for 30 minutes. The labels will come off very easily.

To remove the glue residues left on the jar, use a cloth or sponge previously immersed in the same solution and rub well until all are removed.

This method is undoubtedly the most practical and fastest to remove the sticky from the glass jars you will want to reuse.
