How do you remove the labels from laundry detergent and kitty litter jugs? Some of them seem to be sealed on. - M

Try GooGone. It's awesome on stuff like that. Also if you have some lighter fluid handy it works well on non-flamable areas.
Have you tried a hairdryer?
I have used cooking oil to get labels off things. All you have to do is cover the label real good with cooking oil and let it soak in the label, and then peel it off...
Let me clarify this request... the product name, etc is not a label (as in paper glued onto the package) it is some kind of plastic which seems heat (?) sealed onto the container. I have had marginal success using packaging tape to strip the product info off yet this is expensive! Help! These are fabulous containers (laundry detergent, cat litter, etc) for planting flowers, tomotoes, etc yet I don't want to advertise the previous contents! thanks -
I have used nail Polis remover to remove the words off. Takes some effort, but works. I used this to remove the words from a cat litter box.
Paint and varnish remover. Pour just a dollop on a side and then gently spread it over the image with a scrubbie sponge.
Rubbing alcohol and Magic Eraser and a little elbow grease work on chip dip and cottage cheese containers so might work on larger items also
I use spray paint. Use the kind for plastics as a primer them spray any color you like!
I've done that and it works great. I even changed the color of all my plastic lawn furniture that was looking dingy after a few seasons.
Acitone, Googone, etc, doesn't work that well to strip the silk-screened labels off. I use the aerosol 'CitriStrip' paint&varnish stripper gel from HD. Let a thick coat sit for 8-10 hours on one side panel at a time.
