  • Hi! I am a thrifty crafter into farmhouse home décor and more. I have so many ideas to share and hope that you can learn something or be inspired. We will go shopping together, look at discount hauls, turn the ordinary into a thing of beauty. Come on in, stay a while!
    This was so easy but you have to be careful with the products-wear gloves, protective eyewear if needed. It is worth it though!!!
    You can find me at Brandy Lessthanforty on Pinterest, Lessthanforty31 on Instagram. Also, I have a facebook fanpage as Lessthanforty. I'd love to see yall there!

    I tried the "Works" from the Dollar Tree.....IT WORKS!!!!! I used it for a wine bottle that had all kinds of info on it. I didn't think it would come off. So, I searched the Tube and found your video. Watched it. Bought the Works and a box of Brillo... and got to work! I put the bottle in a can with just enough space to get the Works around it... ( that's a great tip to put in a close-fitting container.) In less than 1hr it was all melting so I used a Brillo pad to scrape it off and poof it just about all came off; except a very small spot that was remarkably STUBBORN....but I re-did it this morning before work and when I get home I'm confident it will be gone too......THNX! PS: no scratches.

    Just an fyi. I bought 4 shot glasses with writing on them. I couldn't find "The Works" at the dollar store, so I bought some CLR. I used a glass bread pan, placed the glasses in it with the lettering down, and poured in just enough of the CLR to cover the written areas. I left this for about an hour and a half. When I went to clean the areas with steel wool, I didn't even need it. With my gloved hand, I was able to wipe all the lettering off. Appreciate your video . . . it really helped me!!!

    Doesn't work on painted labels baked onto the surface of glass bottles. Soaked one for 3 weeks in CLR and didn't even smudge it.

    Thanks for showing the test! I think maybe you should have used the same application method for both. Just use the 'works' method in the jar without the paper towel. Also I think it's the acid that makes it work. I've heard that vinegar will do it too. It probably needs different soak times for different strengths of acid.

    If you soak them in vinegar for about an hour the labels wipes right off

      n perry a dry erase marker takes off permanent marker. Goo gone is great for sticky residue in nonporous stuff too.

    Well, it didn't work on Pyrex. The company said the designs will never come off.

    • @DawnAllynn
      @DawnAllynn 5 років тому

      The designs are fired (baked) onto Pyrex in a kiln, same as the white glaze. The designs on the bottle are paint, which is why it comes off.

    This will not work on candle jars with printed labels. The color comes off the jar with the print. The glass itself has no color.

      Deans Abbas I’m not sure, but I personally would not try it. Plastic is a softer material which could possibly melt if exposed to those chemicals. You might try goo gone for plastic which might work. Thanks for watching!
