    I felt that final “fuck you, Cambro” in my soul… well what’s left of it.

  2. LetMeDieAlreadyFuck

    Iirc doesn’t alcohol swabs do gods work for removing those things?

  3. No-Ideal-9879

    And what’s up with the new design now I have to order different shit. Fuck you cambro

  4. Potential-Ad-115

    How about a fuck you to the stickers on produce. I can deal with the stickers on a Cambro.

    Soooo, if you take some lighter fluid, and a scrub brush you can peel the sticker off in shreds, and the lighter fluid will help remove the sticky residue left behind. Mind you this takes a fair amount of work and elbow grease.

    Stainless steel polish has worked for me

  7. No idea if it works on plastic, I only ever do it on glass but boiling water inside the container for like a minute and the stickers come right off.

    Isn’t that a Prop 65 warning sticker? The hate should really be directed at the State of California.

    Veg oil works for me. I’ve heard putting them in the freezer works too but haven’t tried it.

  10. Wet it and run it through the dish machine. Or wet it and wait a few seconds, then spray it off. Sanitize afterward, of course.

  11. Just put some oil on it and it will dissolve the glue.

    The material is oil soluble. I always used to spray it with non-stick cooking spray and let sit for a couple minutes. It would wipe right off.

  13. You think that’s bad. Try opening a new restaurant where you have to remove HUNDREDS of them.

  14. SevenExpressions

    Leave it on and when it’s time to clean throw them in a hot sink they’ll melt off

    Yeah this is why we keep Desolvit on on chemical supplies. That stuff is a life saver

  16. Hot water, goo gone, oil, heat gun… there are plenty of options to get stickers off containers.

  17. I recently learned that hand sanitizer is great for removing that leftover sticker residue. Put the voted sticked on my phone case and it did not want to come off. Let some hand sanitizer sit on it for like 30 seconds and it wiped right off.

    You need something rubbing alcohol over 70% atleast to remove those which is still fucking bullshit you have to buy cleaning products just to remove the stickers, or a hairdryer apparently it loosens the stickers on low settings

    Set them under the heat lamp for a few seconds, sticker side up. Peel off almost flawlessly. Any left on hit with a magic eraser before they go through dish

  20. I sell these, and the qr code sticker is new to me. I literally have like 90 of these 64CW135’s in stock and I’ve never seen the second sticker.

    I just toss them all in HOT water/soap for a bit, then use a greenie to scrub them off. Comes off in like 2 swipes and you can immediately put them on a dish rack to run through the machine. Gotta wash them anyways before first use 🤷‍♀️

    Heh yall new to kitchens I swear…

    New order of kitchen supplies covered in stickers? Have the dish or prep or whomever grease those fuckers. Pan spray, towel with oil, big ol squirter from a bottle… doesn’t matter. Let it soak the sticker.

    Stickers hate oil. They slide right off, then dawn takes off the oil.

  23. DingusMacLeod

    They use the cheap stickers like a bunch of assholes.

  24. ladygrayfox

    Weird, I just picked a bunch of Cambros and was pleasantly surprised that the stickers were vinyl and only lightly attached.

  25. Not sure if it’s easy to get in the US but eucalyptus oil works really well for most stickers. I’ve used it for years on everything, plastic containers, jar labels, plate and cup stickers. Just have to make sure you wash it after cause shit is poisonous.

  26. Aidan_Baidan

    I blast the stickers off with the hose in the dish pit, and scrub the residue off after letting them soak in hot hot water.

    New cambro day, always a weird mix of happiness and irritation.

  28. FYI, if you’re trying to scrub the glue off because it got wet and the paper fell apart, rub a bit of oil or grease on it first. It helps loosen up the glue a lot then the rest can be removed with dish soap.
