🧴 How to Remove Glue from Glass Bottles: 5 Quick and Easy Tips
Reusing glass bottles for crafts, home décor, or storage is a great eco-friendly practice — but that sticky glue residue from labels can quickly turn a fun project into a frustrating mess. If you’ve ever tried to peel off a label only to be left with a stubborn patch of glue, you’re not alone. Luckily, there are simple and effective ways to get glass bottles squeaky clean in no time.
Here are 5 quick tips to remove glue from glass bottles using common household items — no special tools or harsh chemicals required!
🧼 1. Soak in Warm Soapy Water
This is the first step and often all you need.
What to do:
- Fill your sink or a large bowl with warm water.
- Add a squirt of dish soap (preferably one that cuts grease).
- Submerge the bottle for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Peel off the label — the glue should soften and rub off with a sponge or cloth.
Why it works: Soapy water loosens the adhesive and softens the paper, making it easier to scrape away.
🛢️ 2. Rub with Oil (Olive, Coconut, or Vegetable Oil)
If glue remains after soaking, oil is your best friend.
What to do:
- Apply a few drops of oil directly to the glue residue.
- Let it sit for 10–15 minutes.
- Rub with a cloth, sponge, or paper towel until the glue slides off.
- Wash the bottle again with soap and water to remove the oil.
Why it works: Oil breaks down sticky adhesives and helps lift them from the glass surface without scratching.
🧽 3. Use Baking Soda and Oil Paste
For tougher glue spots, make a gentle abrasive paste.
What to do:
- Mix equal parts baking soda and oil (e.g., 1 tbsp of each).
- Apply the paste to the glue and let it sit for 15 minutes.
- Scrub gently with a sponge or old toothbrush.
- Rinse and clean with warm water and soap.
Why it works: Baking soda is mildly abrasive and works with oil to dissolve adhesive without damaging glass.
