How to Remove Labels from Glass Jars: 5 Simple, Fast and Effective Methods to do it Perfectly!

Soak a rag or cotton ball in rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, lighter fluid, or even cheap vodka. Place it on the label for about 15 minutes, then peel off. Use a sponge soaked in alcohol to remove leftover adhesive. Nail polish remover (acetone) works for tough labels — be cautious with clothing or surfaces.

4. Hairdryer

Heat the label using a hairdryer set to full power. Blow hot air back and forth across the label for 30 seconds. Continue heating in short bursts if necessary. Once loosened, peel the label off. Clean remaining glue with soapy water. This method is great for glass and paper labels but avoid using it on plastic containers.

5. Razor Blades

Hold a razor blade at an angle and gently slide it under the corner of the label. Push forward to lift and peel off the label, repeating as needed. Be cautious to avoid injury. This method is effective for glass but not recommended for plastic or tin, as it may scratch the surface.
