| Greetings,
I am a lucky recipient of approximately 60 bottles. Yesterday, I tried removing the labels, cleaning the bottles and then sterilizing them. However, I have about 25 of them that I could not get the glue off the bottle where the labels were. Does anyone have a sure fire way of easily removing the glue?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

| Acetone nail polish remover, buy the big, cheap bottles available at Walmart and drug stores. It should do the trick for you, too! Allison |

| Make sure you buy 100 percent acetone and not just run of the mill nail polish remover. The nail polish remover is made to be gentle on nails and is not pure acetone usually. Read labels. Also, heat can soften some types of glue and follow by scraping. You don't have to resort to chemicals. Fill bottle with hot water and let the heat do the work softening. This method will keep the glue warm and soft while working on it. |

| Soak and scrape. Keep the acetone off the bottles. |

| I find that WD40 works very good, spray on the label and let it sit for a few minutes then scape off wiht a sharp knife and wash off in hot soapy water. |
