I Tried This Easy Price Tag Sticker Removal Trick — And It Really Worked

Have you ever spotted a great find at the store, brought it home, and then had to deal with a stubborn price tag sticker? Sometimes, if you’re lucky, it comes off seamlessly, but most times it’ll break off piece by piece and leave behind a sticky residue. 

Luckily, the internet has a quick fix to this problem and will have you removing price tag stickers and any other kinds of labels in one fell swoop. This video by @thegoochpage shows off a super-easy price tag sticker removal trick that requires just two things that can be found right at home: glass cleaner and a paper towel.

I tried out this trick for myself to see if it really was that simple — and yes, it was! I was surprised to see that using just glass cleaner and a paper towel can wipe out price tag stickers as easily as it did. I can see this trick working for other types of labels, too, like maybe if you’re trying to remove a label off an empty jar you’d like to reuse. (I’m a big fan of reusing Bonne Maman jars.)  

If you’re curious to try, here’s how you can do it too.

Here are the five steps to remove price tag stickers using just glass cleaner and a paper towel. 

Step 1: Spray the glass cleaner directly onto the price tag.

Step 2: Grab a paper towel and cover it.

Step 3: Spray the glass cleaner again, this time directly onto the paper towel, and pat down.

Step 4: Wait for 15 minutes.

Step 5: Wipe away with the paper towel. 

Now your newly purchased product is ready for use! I can’t wait to try it on other types of labels to see if it’ll work that way, too.
