Best way to get sticky reside from label off of baby food jars?

I’ve tried soaking them in hot water and using dish soap, but the sticky part is still there.

Any effective methods or products that have worked for you?

Looking forward to your tips and recommendations!

Oil. Olive oil, baby oil. Goo Gone.

I’ve had decent results soaking glass jars in hot water, then letting hand sanitizer sit on the residue for a few minutes and then scrubbing with a scouring pad.

Soak them in hot water, soap and and a little vinegar. Then use something with a corset scrubby side

[Lindsay]

Hot soapy water and let them sit. The labels comes off then just wash them.

[Judy]

Alcohol or vinegar or fingernail polish remover

[Lesia]

Water and baking soda, Dawn dish soap, and scrub pad.

[Tara]

Spray Pledge or similar dusting spray on it and let it sit for 30 minutes.

Then just wipe it off with a paper towel.

Soak in hot soapy water overnight and then scrub with the rough side of a sponge

Oil (any kind) and baking soda has been the most successful for me. Soak in hot water and remove as much paper as you can.

If residue remains, mix oil/baking soda into a paste, slather it onto residue, let it sit for like 10 mins, then scrub off with a rag.

I’ve barely had to scrub at all, it just slides off.

Only type this didn’t work for me for some reason is Smuckers jam jars.

Don’t know why, they must use cement to keep those labels on

Soak in hot water until the water cools, peel off as much of the label as you can, sprinkle the label area with baking soda then take a plastic scrubber with coconut oil on and scrub away then wash with soap and water.

I have never had an issue getting the residual of the label off.

I spray labels with Bleach, put in old ziplock and cover jar I’m hot water, laying jar sideways.

Leave laying down in bag. When I go back hrs later, it all comes clean off.

No glue.

Windex. Just spray it and leave it for a few minutes. Peels right up

Found a video on you tube dish soap (I used dawn platinum) and vinegar she boiled them I just soaked them over night sparkly clean over night removed everything

[Jeriah]

Soak it in hot soapy water and then scrape it off with your nail or other thin, hard object

[Sandra]

There is a pad you can buy that comes in packets that remove labels instantly.

If really works

[Katherine]

Try putting the jar in the freezer overnight. It works with plastic pill bottles, it might work with jars
