Hi Friends and Members hopefully this tip will help you if you have you ever had a label that didn't want come off of a jar, a sticker that your kids placed on a mirror, or a bumper sticker you didn't want? Simply heat it up with a blow dryer. When the adhesive starts to melt, the sticker will peel right off! Hope that this helps some of my friends

Thanks for the tip Kathy. I never would have thought of using the blow dryer! I usually try to peel it off with my fingernails. What a mess. All that sticky stuff under your nails just isn't the answer.

I love learning tips about different things and this one is very good! How come I never thought of this? I'm sure this works because the heat melts the glue. Thank you for sharing this tip!

I love you, I love you, I love you - this may sound silly but one of the most annoying things in the world to me is the sticky stuff left by labels. I've actually sat for hours scraping with a fingernail to get the stuff off something. I never in a million years would have thought of the blowdrier - I'm going to go look for some labels to remove just for the sack of doing it :)

Another idea is to use baby oil to get the sticky off the mirror ect. I am going to remember the hair dryer idea~ thanks.

Very great idea. I have never tried this before. I always used to put water on them so they get soaked and then we can easily peel them off.
