Although price labels are necessary and useful when buying glassware, they can be very annoying at home if they cannot be completely removed. To remove the adhesive labels with all the adhesive residue from the glass, you only need a few products that are available in every kitchen and are also more environmentally friendly than solvents.

Firstly, fill the sink with hot water, enough to completely cover all the glasses. Add a generous dash of washing-up liquid and a quarter of a litre of clear vinegar. You can leave the jars to soak in the solution overnight. The next morning, take the jars out of the water and check whether the labels come off easily. If necessary, leave to soak for a few more hours.

All labels that can be easily removed are removed. Any adhesive residue on the jar can be removed with a wet dishcloth or your fingernails. 

If you want to be particularly environmentally friendly, you can soak the glasses overnight in rinsing water that has already been used for washing. 

As different adhesives are used when sticking on the labels, not every solution works in the same way. For some labels, clear, warm water is sufficient, others come off with pure vinegar. For problematic labels, you can try vegetable oils. The label is rubbed with oil and left on for several hours. The vegetable oil often acts as a lubricant and the label comes off easily.
