Lifestyle news: Glass jars

It’s a great idea to re-use glass jars in the kitchen. They make ideal storage for food, and you are cutting down on waste as well.

But getting rid of the sticky labels can be tricky. Find some eucalyptus oil and dab liberally on the label. Leave to soak, then wash off with warm, soapy water. Repeat if necessary.
