Here are 10 tips and tricks to get rid of stuck objects

Magic Label Remover

When you try to peel the gummed label off new plastic food storage containers, it often turns into a gooey, smeared mess. You can scrub, scrape and soak it, but there always seems to be a lit­tle adhesive left behind.

Here’s a simple trick: Fill the container with hot tap water but keep the label dry. Let it sit for a few minutes to soften the adhesive, then slowly peel off the label. Voilà! A perfectly clean plastic container. — Judy Holt.
