Prescription bottles
are very useful little items. They make excellent storage solutions for organizing and carrying tiny items and ideal containers for a lunch box or picnic, as they can hold your favorite salad dressing, condiments and seasonings for travel-size servings. If you plan to use your old prescription bottles, or give them away to someone who might need them, remove prescription bottle labels so that your personal information stays private. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Soak your prescription bottles in warm, soapy water. Allow the labels to absorb the moisture.
2. Use a butter knife or vegetable peeler to scrape away as much as the label as possible. Some will come off in long strips easily, while other pieces may peel off in tiny bits. Keep at it until you clear away all of the top paper.
3. Dry your prescription bottles with a towel. Touch the surface to see if they are still tacky, and examine them for any glue remnants.
4. Rub an eraser on any remaining glue bits, just as you would erase a pencil mark on paper. Keep rubbing and brushing away the glue bits until they are gone.
5. Use adhesive remover if sticky glue remnants are stubborn in coming off. Adhesive removers are available at most craft stores and hardware stores. Rub some adhesive remover on the glue remnants with a cloth and it will wipe away any last bits stuck to the bottle.
6. Wash the bottle and dry it once more and it will be ready to use.
