Do you want to know how to get stickers off plastic? You&#8217;re not alone. Many of us have tried peeling off a label, only to give up after battling stubborn adhesive residue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now imagine this frustration multiplied for a business owner trying to reuse dozens of glass jars or an artisan restoring vintage containers. The good news? You don\u2019t have to throw those items away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following tips will show you how to remove stickers from plastic, glass and other materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-use-rubbing-alcohol-or-nail-polish-remover\">1. Use rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering how to remove stubborn sticker residue, start with rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover. These solvents break down adhesives for easier removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steps\">Steps:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Soak a cotton ball, rag, or paper towel in rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, or even inexpensive vodka.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Press the soaked material onto the label for at least 15 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the adhesive softens, peel the label back.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a sponge dipped in alcohol to wipe away any leftover residue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/social-howtoremovelabels-1080x1080-img2\" alt=\"Rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover and other alcohol-based products are great for removing stickers and labels from jars, bottles and more\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:282px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Rubbing alcohol is less harsh than nail polish remover, making it a better choice for delicate materials. Always test a small area first to avoid damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-try-the-hair-dryer-method-for-heat-activation\">2. Try the hair dryer method for heat activation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Heat can help loosen label adhesive, making removal easier. A hair dryer works particularly well on glass jars with paper labels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steps-0\">Steps:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Set your hair dryer to high heat and blow it directly over the label for 30 seconds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check if the label peels easily. If not, repeat in 30-second intervals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove any remaining glue with a soapy sponge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/social-howtoremovelabels-1080x1080-img3\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/social-howtoremovelabels-1080x1080-img3\" alt=\"Use a hair dryer to heat up label glue  adhesive and peel label back from container\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:291px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Caution:<\/strong> Avoid using this method on plastic containers as the heat may warp or melt them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-tackle-tough-labels-with-specialty-removal-products\">3.

Remove labels with white vinegar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>White vinegar is a natural, affordable option that works wonders on glass and metal containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steps-2\">Steps:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fill a shallow container with enough white vinegar to submerge the label.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let your jar soak for 15 minutes or heat the vinegar for better results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peel away the label and use a sponge to clean up any leftover paper or adhesive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This method is eco-friendly and especially effective for removing labels from glass jars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-soak-containers-in-hot-soapy-water\">5. Soak containers in hot soapy water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hot water is often all you need for easier label removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steps-3\">Steps:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fill a tub or sink with hot water. Add a splash of dish soap or laundry detergent for extra power.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submerge your containers and let them soak for at least an hour\u2014or overnight for tough labels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once softened, peel off the label and scrub away adhesive residue with a sponge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This simple method works great for glass jars and other water-safe materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-scrape-off-labels-with-a-razor-blade\">6. Scrape off labels with a razor blade<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For precision removal, a razor blade or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xacto.com\/\">X-Acto\u00ae knife <\/a>can help remove stubborn labels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steps-4\">Steps:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hold the blade at an angle and carefully slide it under the edge of the label.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gently push to lift the label in sections.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat until the label is fully removed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Caution:<\/strong> Avoid this method on scratch-prone surfaces like plastic or tin.

I covered everything from the LA riots and LA Raiders to flash floods and red carpet movie premieres\u2014basically, the usual glamorous stuff. Later, at The Los Angeles Times, I spent more than a decade covering college, professional and high school sports. I kept my NBA ties strong by working in PR for their summer league and writing for NBA.com. I also spent 9 unforgettable New Year's Days working in the press box for Rose Bowl games. When the newspaper industry started crumbling, I transitioned into covering commercial real estate\u2014until the recession came along and crashed that party too. (Honestly, that was probably a blessing. Writing about cap rates, capital stacks, bridge loans, and mezzanine loans was giving me a serious case of brain fog.) Enter Avery, swooping in to save the day. Now, I\u2019ve been with Avery for almost 15 years, where I\u2019ve been able to put my writing experience to use in new ways. I write website content, marketing emails, and blog posts\u2014basically, all the words that help businesses and consumers figure out how to label their stuff. When I\u2019m not glued to a screen, I\u2019m out exploring the desert landscapes around Las Vegas\u2014whether it\u2019s hiking (walking) through Red Rock Canyon, cooling off at Mt. Charleston, or making the trek to Area 51 (because who doesn\u2019t love a good conspiracy?). I avoid the Strip unless there\u2019s a rock band I can\u2019t miss or I have friends in town. At home, I enjoy cooking, playing with my furry friends and figuring out how to garden in the desert (spoiler: it\u2019s a lot harder than it sounds).\",\"sameAs\":[\"http:\\\/\\\/www.avery.com\",\"www.linkedin.com\\\/in\\\/melanieneff\",\"mneff@avery.com\"],\"knowsAbout\":[\"labels\",\"stickers\",\"sports\",\"real estate finance\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.avery.com\\\/blog\\\/author\\\/mneff\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO Premium plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"How to Remove Sticky Labels from Plastic, Glass &amp;

I covered everything from the LA riots and LA Raiders to flash floods and red carpet movie premieres\u2014basically, the usual glamorous stuff. Later, at The Los Angeles Times, I spent more than a decade covering college, professional and high school sports. I kept my NBA ties strong by working in PR for their summer league and writing for NBA.com. I also spent 9 unforgettable New Year's Days working in the press box for Rose Bowl games. When the newspaper industry started crumbling, I transitioned into covering commercial real estate\u2014until the recession came along and crashed that party too. (Honestly, that was probably a blessing. Writing about cap rates, capital stacks, bridge loans, and mezzanine loans was giving me a serious case of brain fog.) Enter Avery, swooping in to save the day. Now, I\u2019ve been with Avery for almost 15 years, where I\u2019ve been able to put my writing experience to use in new ways. I write website content, marketing emails, and blog posts\u2014basically, all the words that help businesses and consumers figure out how to label their stuff. When I\u2019m not glued to a screen, I\u2019m out exploring the desert landscapes around Las Vegas\u2014whether it\u2019s hiking (walking) through Red Rock Canyon, cooling off at Mt. Charleston, or making the trek to Area 51 (because who doesn\u2019t love a good conspiracy?). I avoid the Strip unless there\u2019s a rock band I can\u2019t miss or I have friends in town. At home, I enjoy cooking, playing with my furry friends and figuring out how to garden in the desert (spoiler: it\u2019s a lot harder than it sounds).","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.avery.com","www.linkedin.com\/in\/melanieneff","mneff@avery.com"],"knowsAbout":["labels","stickers","sports","real estate finance"],"url":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/author\/mneff\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6578"}],"version-history":[{"count":49,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6578\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24975,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6578\/revisions\/24975"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6580"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
