Did you have a chance to catch the oily expert presentations during the Essential Oils Revolution a few weeks ago?

When Recycling Essential Oil Bottles, it’s sometimes necessary to remove the labels. While removing the labels is easy, it can leave behind a stubborn layer of residue. This is my favorite (easiest) way to remove that sticky residue…
Note: In the title picture above, the cleanest bottle on the right was a result of my easy method described below.

I’m thrilled to have perfected the method and the results! No more slaving….
