How to Clean the Sticky off a Jar

This is one that I have on my main blog, AlwaysBeCreating, but it is a goodie and I just used it so I thought I would share it here. You can find the original post here or I have just re-posted on this site so all my cleaning tips are staying together in one place

I love finding new uses for jars. The hardest part is getting all the sticky off the jar that is left behind when taking the wrapper off. I am here to tell you that there is an easy way to get it off.

All you need is baking soda and some kind of cooking oil. For the second step I used dish soap and a simple dish sponge.

FIRST: Wash out the jar and take off as much of the label as will come off. This will make it so you only have to clean the sticky off once and not have to fight the paper label.

I mixed equal parts baking soda and oil then rubbed the mixture all over the jar. If exploring the Internet has taught me anything, it is that baking soda can clean most anything. The oil helps spread it on the jar.
Let the jars set for about 10-20 minutes.

SECOND: Put a bit of soap on the jar and use the sponge with a bit of water to wash off the paste. The sponge helps rub the sticky off and the soap is to clean the oil from the jar.
Now spray the lids some fun colors and use them How ever you would like. ENJOY!!
