Food Safe Sticker Removal

Labels and stickers can be tough to get off. Whether it’s for reusing a jar or bottle, an unwanted logo, or removing a sticker that has been lovingly added to your furniture by a thoughtful little person, most of us have had the odd occasion where we have tried to remove a sticker, only to be left to tackle the sticky mess beneath. For many of us, eucalyptus oil is our go to in this situation. It dissolves the glue quickly and effectively. But what about those times when you need something a little less pungent and a little more gentle on varnished or delicate surfaces? Well here is our tip for you….Remove as much of the label as you can first, either by soaking it in water or rubbing it with a damp sponge. Next, put 1tblsp of Coconut oil into a small bowl. If it is solid put it in the microwave for about 10-15secs until it is warm and melting. Add 1tblsp Bicarb Soda to the oil and mix it into a thick paste. Then, take a warm cloth or rag and rub it over the area until all the glue is removed. It will take a little longer this way than using eucalyptus oil but at least it is food safe and won’t leave behind a strong smell or damaged surfaces.
