Can anyone suggest an alternative to Goo B Gone that would be widely available in Ireland for removing label residue off of bottles? (For the stubborn glue that won't boil off.) I've found a few UK places but they are double in price plus shipping.
Thanks
Lots of discussion about label removal on this forum. Here's what a quick search uncovered:
Here's the most recent thread:
I start with a good soak in sterilizer. For labels that don't fall off I have used a paint scraper. It is a retractable single edge razor blade held in a flat handle. The local paint or hardware store should carry it. For remaining residue I follow up with a nylon fibre pot scrubber.
I usually store wine in bulk, 3-4 litre jugs ( recycled Gallo bottles), then transfer to smaller bottles once I have to open one.
cheers
Mike
