The problem is that the labels are hard as heck to get off of those jars. I’ve had one in the dishwasher for a week ;-)

my Thanksgiving day story.....in Portland and Seattle all the "in" restaurants...you know the ones in the crummy parts of town with old pipes showing and that industrial look....well, they put these old liquor containers filled with ice cold water on the table for you to fill your water glass....

so I worked incessantly getting the label off a Captain Morgan large rum bottle...then filled it with water, into the fridge and then put into the freezer for the last half hour....

refrigerator must have been set high because that darn bottle broke into a million pieces...

Have you tried “Goo-gone”? Works pretty well but you have to give it time to loosen the glue on some things.

Well I haven’t tried it myself, but I was told you mix some baking soda and olive oil into a paste and smear it over the sticky residue and let it sit for a while it’ll be easy to scrub off! Might be worth a try!

A mix of either olive or vegetable oil, with a bit of baking soda (make into a thin paste). Rub on/all over label, let sit for about 10 mins (while you’re unloading dishwasher :), then it should rub right off.
