Getting Sticky Residue Off of Glass Jars

Jan 13

Written By Rachel

I’ve been wanting to utilize more house hold items for my hamsters to

1- Provide them with new things to keep them interested and stimulated

2- Save on space, since I am running out of available storage for hamster items

3- Be a little more eco-friendly and not buy something new

4- Be a little more wallet-friendly and not buy something new

I had quite a few glass jars building up- I often use these for left overs etc so not to waste them, and then I thought, “I should be using these for my hamsters!”

The only issue is that stupid, sticky residue that Does. Not. Come. OFF! AHHH!

I tried alcohol and soaking them and wire scrubby things… no luck.

Finally, while waiting for a doctor appointment recently, I perused YouTube for the answer and found a video from this super-cool lady who does a lot of vides about how to be zero waste! I’d love to be more thoughtful in this way, so this is step one.

And here I am, giving it a try!
