How do i get rid of the remains of a very sticky label on a plastic box?
Next time you need to get rid of a label, begin by soaking the container in hot soapy water. Leave overnight, in the morning gently score the paper with a serrated knife and then peel the paper off. If you have a really sticky label that isn’t water soluble, heat the label with a hair dryer on a hot setting. The heat loosens the glue and makes the label easier to peel. As for the sticky residue that you are dealing with, cover the label seams with peanut butter, the oil from the peanut butter counteracts the glue, scrub with steel wool.
