Adhesive Remover: Homemade Goo Gone
This adhesive remover recipe is a natural homemade goo gone that works without using all the harsh chemical additives. Use with confidence.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Active Time 5 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 1 application
Ingredients
- 2 parts baking soda
- 1 part coconut oil (refined, expeller pressed)
- 4 drops sweet orange essential oil (for extra de-greasing power and scent)
Instructions
-
Thoroughly mix all the ingredients together.
-
Remove as much of the label or sticker as you can before beginning. Combine ingredients in a small bowl and mash together with a spoon or small spatula until it forms a thick paste.
-
Apply adhesive remover with fingers or a cloth, rubbing it in until label/sticker is completely gone.
-
Wash with warm water and soap to remove any leftover goop or oil.
-
Voila! The label is gone. (Just so you know how well this stuff works, I couldn't tell where the label had been when I went to take the "after" picture. I think I showed you the wrong side - ha!)
-
You can store your adhesive remover in a sealed container and keep it for later use.

The best part - I don't have to recycle glass containers just because I'm dreading the hassle of removing the labels. Now, if I could only find more space to keep my glass jar hoard.
