Method 1: Hot Water Soak

Method 2: Hand-held Steamer

Method 1: Hot Water Soak

What you'll need:

  • Large sink or container
  • Hot water
  • Dish soap
  • Scrubber or sponge
  • Optional: Baking soda

Instructions:

  1. Fill your sink or container with hot water, making sure it's large enough to immerse the wine bottle completely.
  2. Add a few drops of dish soap to the water to help break down the adhesive on the label.
  3. Submerge the wine bottle in the hot water and let it soak for at least 30 minutes.
  4. After soaking, try to remove the label using your fingers or a scrubber. If it's still difficult to get off, let it soak for another 30 minutes.
  5. Once the label is off, there might still be adhesive residue on the bottle. To remove this, mix baking soda and water to form a paste, then gently rub the paste onto the adhesive using a scrubber or sponge.
  6. Rinse the bottle and dry it using a clean cloth. Your wine bottle is now label-free and ready to be reused or made into a masterpiece!

Method 2: Hand-held Steamer

What you'll need:

  • Hand-held steamer
  • Towel or cloth
  • Scrubber or sponge
  • Optional: Goo Gone or adhesive remover

Instructions:

  1. Fill the steamer with water and turn it on.
  2. Hold the steamer approximately 1-2 inches away from the label and steam it until the adhesive begins to soften.
  3. Carefully peel off the label using your fingers or a scrubber.
  4. If there's adhesive residue left on the bottle, use Goo Gone or another adhesive remover to get rid of it.
  5. Wipe the bottle clean with a towel. Your label-free bottle is now ready for your next creative project!
