In the overall scheme of things, this isn't a big problem ... actually, it's not even a problem, just an annoyance.

 

In the past few weeks I have purchased items that had the retailers name on a sticky label on the packaging. 

 

Each time, they placed the label over the directions ... or the list of ingredients ... or the nutrition label.  Information I needed to read, and the label wouldn't come off!  I even tried a hair dryer to warm the label, but it didn't really help.

 

So ....  anyone here have a handy tip for what removes those annoying sticky labels?

A product called Glue Gone has worked well for me.

If you have any Scrub Daddy's, those should work.

Re: REMOVING STICKY LABELS

@Tinkrbl44, I try to check expiration dates on items before I buy them. Yup, for me that's usually what the sticker covers. Sometimes I can luck out after checking several and find one where the information isn't covered.

 

i agree with with others about using Goo Gone, even though I don't care for the smell.

1. Goo be gone        or

 

Craft areas have things like this, to remove sticky things.  Even Amazon sells it, or your local craft store.  Ask and they can tell you  where it's at in the store.
