I’d love to reuse pretty colored pill containers, but can’t find anything to take the impossibly glued labels off!

Goo Off or Goo Gone.
Try alcohol.
I agree with the other answer. If the labels are really stuck, you might have to soak the pill bottle first and then gently scrape at it, but Goo Gone should work, too.
Goo Gone works great for me. Let the Goo Gone soak into the label, then peel or scrub the label off the bottles. Good luck! Jewell
Try heating the label with a hair dryer to loosen the glue.
Try Goo Gone.
Use your hair dryer on hot for 30 seconds. This too works when you have labels on
paper items like a price tag, etc.
Hello there,
Soak them overnight in hat water with a little Dish wash soap, or use WD-40 or Surgical Spirit!
