I like to label my plastic food containers with a description of leftover foods. Will water work to remove the marker from the surface?

If the container sweets then the Chalk is going to drip off. But yes water works to remove Chalk ink

I have two ways of removing label goo. The safest is to rub the goo generously with any kind of cooking oil, let it sit a while, then wipe off with a kleenex. If it doesn't all come off, repeat with more oil. Finally, wash off the oil with regular dishwashing liquid. That would be the method to use on any type of plastic, such as these mugs. The other method, which works very well on glass, ceramic, or metal, is to apply Citrusolve full strength and let it sit a while.

Yes they can - but just note you will need special remover to get it off and it takes a lot of muscle grease to get it completely off- in my experience unless your willing to endure the labor of scrubbing it off you will have a ghost image of where the marker was used so I wouldn't recommend using it for say daily menu changes - but design or wording (such as headings) you plan to not change very often.

Yes, they mark on plastic without smudging, but you have to let them completely dry before touching them.

I have removed them from some surfaces... particularly hard ones like plastic, glass, etc. However, they will likely self-distruct when done. Paper is another issue. You would probably destroy both the label and the paper it's attached to. You could try heating it with a hair dryer first as that may soften the grip of the label glue used.

I have one the I put on our soap dispenser and it's still there from last year. This container gets wet frequently and it is still holding. I assume because plastic does not attract moisture than paper. Make sure you wipe the surface first before puting the label. You can also put a magic tape on top after sticking the label to avoid moisture if you want to finish the paper label first.

These markers are oil based, so water will not be very helpful in cleanup. If you have a flat surface, a very sharp razor blade (be careful) may remove the marker from glass.As far as a chemical, try acetone (nail polish remover) using a q-tip if you need to test on a small area.

I heated the label with a hairdryer, then peeled it off cleanly. I don't know if heating the residue will come off if heated with a hairdryer.

No. I soak the labels with a light coat of WD-40. Let the WD-40 soak into label. Label can be pealed off/

I haven't tried but it's vinyl so you should. Depending on marker will depend if it will come off????

I haven't had a failure yet in removing residue from labels on plastic bottles. Sometimes I have to apply it more than once, but it always works. I haven't had to use it on a glass bottle, so I have no information on that. Hope this helps!

Soak the label in soapy water. It'll dissolve the glue, and paper all at once....

I never tried it. I mostly use it for labeling metal or for paper folders. The adhesive is strong, and I've never seen label adhesive come off of metal panels outside, but on a plastic bag or container it may turn out differently.

Water and a paper towel worked for me. I have only used it on chalk board labels though.

I use a Sharpie in the labeling area and it comes off after a good scrubbing with the bottle brush and soap. Alternatively, an ethanol wipe or a cotton ball dipped in rubbing alcohol also would remove the Sharpie markings.

The tape is plastic with adhesive on the back. It takes a bit of work to "pick at" a corner to remove the plastic labels. You may need some "goo remover" to remove any residual adhesive.

No. It will wash off. To get sharpie off skin I use soap. To get sharpie off nonporous surfaces I use rubbing alcohol.
