Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung
Check the jar
Use an ordinary sturdy jar, not delicate decorated glass or a container with a damaged rim. Remove the lid and any loose paper before starting.
Soak the paper label
Place the jar in warm water with a little dish soap, keeping the paper label wet. Let it soften until a corner begins to lift easily.
Peel slowly
Lift a softened edge and pull gently along the glass. If the paper tears or resists, wet it again instead of scraping hard.
Work on the remaining residue
Rub remaining paper and adhesive gently with the damp cloth or non-scratch sponge. Repeat the warm soapy soak if needed; avoid combining cleaning chemicals.
Rinse and dry
Rinse away soap, inspect the surface and dry the jar. Check for cracks or chips before choosing a new non-food or food use appropriate to the original container.
Tipps und Fehlerbehebung
- Do not pour boiling water into cold glass.
- Some adhesives will need more than one gentle soak.
