This guide will show you how to remove a label from a glass jar for reuse. Instead of purchasing a new glass jar, you can repurpose glass jars from around the house as storage containers, vases, or home decor.

CAUTION: This guide involves boiling water.

    • Boil enough water to fill both glass jars.

    • Pour the boiling water into the smaller jar using a tea kettle.

    • The hot water will heat up the glass and melt the adhesive from the inside.

    • Place the lid onto the jar and tighten.

    • This step is optional if the larger container in Step 3 has a lid.

  4. othDp4LbNXZQORPd

    • Pour hot water into the larger jar until the water level is above the label.

  5. IujGpjNxWBUVkTpJ

    • Add a few drops of dish soap into the larger jar.

    • Place the lid on the larger container and tighten.

    • This prevents heat from leaving the container.

    • Let the container sit for 10 to 15 minutes or until completely cooled.

    • Remove the smaller jar from the larger container.

    • Pour the water out of the jar.

    • Peel the label off of the jar.

    • For containers with loose labels, the label will fall off or be able to be slipped off.

    • Wipe off excess residue with a cloth or paper towel.
