Glass coffee jars

Try nail varnish remover?

There is something online called "sticky stuff remover" and that may solve your problem.

That's brilliant stuff. It gets chewing gum off material.

A spray of WD40 and scrub it off should work

Yup, Sticky Stuff Remover. It's brilliant

Just popping my head round the door to ask why a thread about glass jars is in "relationships"?

OP’s relationship with her coffee jars?

Apologies for posting in wrong place ladies. Thank you for helpful tips.

Chewbacca - I imagine the hot weather has upset your equilibrium!

White spirit or WD40

I have a long term relationship with coffee jars too! LOL

As mentioned, WD40 will work but it stinks, so I prefer to use Turpentine on some paper towel and finally a few drops of dishwashing liquid to remove any residue.

As others have said, I soak them, remove as much label as possible, then use Sticky Stuff Remover. It sometimes has to be left on a bit to really work.

Certain labels peel off in a lovely smooth all over way. Why others don’t is a mystery to me.

I always use surgical spirit. Empty jars often come in handy and some are attractive.

All these useful ideas. I have WD40 and surgical spirit to hand.

Good old WD40! One of the many things this magic potion can do.

WD40 is brilliant at cleaning the loo and it helps to stop....... erm ....... marks from forming on the inside of the pan.

Yes, sticky stuff remover.

I use coffee jars for jam & jelly. Sometimes the labels come off easily but if not I half fill the jar with water, bring it to the boil in the microwave - et voila - this melts the gum and the label will then peel or wash off.

If all else fails, I put large labels on the jars, cunningly placed to hide the gummy bits.

I've never tried using them for jams and jellies Granny23.

Does it store well in those jars? Do you put the jam in hot then put the lid on?

Bad/toxic/unhealthy relationships Doesn't matter what label you put on them Jars are always great to stick them in and seal them up There you go!!

We have a love/hate relationship with my empty coffee jars and jam jars.

I love them, DH hates them.

However, if I do fill them with home-made jam he seems to love that.

My coffee jar was shattered when our relationship came to end, well it had to as far as I was concerned they were too transparent and I could see right through them, and I was prone to also having a relationship with the biscuit tin on the side I'm now seeing a coffee pod but although they're quite strong, there's something quite plastic and false about them on the outside, worse still every morning they give me a kick
