Hair dryer

How to remove the sticker from the glass? This can be done using a regular hair dryer:

1. Set the hair dryer to maximum temperature and blow the sticker for about a minute.
2. Pick up the edge of the label with a sharp object, such as a knife, and remove from the surface.

Boiling water

If the sticker needs to be removed from any container, for example, from a glass, then boiling water can be used instead of a hairdryer. Fill the product with boiling water and leave for 10-15 minutes. The walls of the container will warm up and the label will easily move away from it.

Important! The thermal method allows you to remove the label, but traces of glue still remain on the surface, which is especially noticeable on the glass surface. Therefore, after the heat treatment, you must also clean the place where the label was with dishwashing liquid or other degreasing agent.

How to glue glue at home?

If you do not have the opportunity to run around and look for solvents for glue, you can do it with improvised means.

Soda

To get rid of the remnants of stickers on glass containers:

1. Take baking soda.
2. Put a few drops of water in soda until a thick slurry is obtained.
3. Take a coarse sponge and wipe off the remaining sticker with the resulting slurry until it disappears completely.

For the best effect, a few drops of any dishwashing detergent can be added to this pulp. Soda will act as an abrasive, scraping off glue particles, and a dishwashing detergent will remove the grease from the sticker.

Important! Do not clean glossy plastic surfaces in this way, as small scratches remain on the plastic surface, as a result, the product loses its attractive appearance.

Vegetable oil

Vegetable oil cleans traces of glue from any surface, whether plastic or glass:

1. Soak a cotton pad thoroughly with vegetable oil.
2. Put it in place with a sticker and put it on for 10-15 minutes.
3. Then pick up the sticker with something sharp, remove from the surface.
4. Wash the area from traces of vegetable oil, wipe dry.

Vinegar

In the same way, you can use table vinegar. Either put a cotton pad moistened with vinegar on a sticker or pour vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on the surface of the product. This must be done until the sticker is completely saturated. Then the sticker can be removed or scraped off.

Important! Remember the specific smell of vinegar and carry out all the procedures in a well-ventilated room or in the fresh air.

Ethanol

What else can glue the adhesive from the sticker on the glass? Ethyl alcohol is an effective solvent for label glue:

1. Saturate the sticker with alcohol, vodka or, as a last resort, with strong cologne.
2. Leave on for a few minutes.
3. Wipe off any remaining glue with the hard side of the dishcloth.

Important! You can use alcohol wet wipes, you just have to hold them longer in a problem place.

If after a few days at the place of the former label you noticed an accumulation of dust, repeat the cleaning procedure - the adhesive microparticles still remained on this product, but this is already easy to fix.
