Stickers on food containers are often a problem for many people. Although it seems trivial, stickers attached to food containers can interfere with appearance and are difficult to remove. These stickers usually stick firmly and leave sticky residue that not only interferes with aesthetics but can also be a breeding ground for bacteria if not cleaned properly.
Many people then use various ways to remove stickers on food containers . One of the most common ways is to smear the sticker area with eucalyptus oil. In addition, some also heat it first with a hairdryer so that the glue can be soft and easier to peel off.
But sometimes for some people, this technique is quite complicated. Especially if the food container is made of plastic. Heating the sticker can certainly damage the plastic surface. On the other hand, eucalyptus oil often leaves glue residue that sticks. Instead, you can use a trick shared by Instagram user @sudha.lukka.
Through one of her uploaded videos, she uses a simpler trick in removing stickers on food containers by utilizing duct tape. Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @sudha.lukka on Saturday (14/9), in the video, this Instagram user is seen using clear duct tape to lift the stickers on the food container in one pull.

For a clearer way of using it, prepare a large piece of duct tape. Make sure the size of the duct tape is wider than the sticker you want to peel off. If so, immediately stick the duct tape on the sticker on the food container. Immediately after sticking it, press the duct tape until it really sticks and there is no air or empty gaps.

Once done, immediately pull the end of the tape slowly. While pulling, you can hold the food container so that it does not lift with the tape. Now at this stage, the sticker attached to the tape will also be lifted when pulled. This makes the food container immediately clean without any glue left.

In the video, Instagram user @sudha.lukka shows an example on a stainless steel food container. Moments later, she uses the same method to remove stickers on plastic food containers. Who would have thought, the stickers could also be lifted perfectly without leaving any glue. Since it was uploaded on Monday (9/9), the video about the trick to remove stickers on food containers has been watched more than 1 million times. Most of these netizens expressed their gratitude for getting new, useful knowledge. On the other hand, there are also those who provide advice on removing stickers on food containers.
