Got a stubborn jar lid that just won’t budge? Gear Hugger’s Multipurpose Lubricant can help with this quick, eco-friendly home hack. Here’s how to use it to get that lid turning with ease.
Step 1: Apply a Small Amount
Shake the lubricant well, then spray a small amount around the edge of the lid, focusing on where it meets the jar. Our plant-powered formula won’t leave any harsh residue, so it’s safe for this kind of kitchen hack.
Step 3: Wait a Minute
Allow the lubricant to sit for about a minute, letting it seep into the threads and loosen any sticky spots.
Step 4: Twist and Open
Hold the jar with one hand and use the other to twist the lid. The lubricant should make it easier to break the seal and twist it off smoothly.
Step 5: Wipe Away Any Excess
Once the lid is off, use a paper towel or cloth to wipe around the jar’s rim, removing any extra lubricant.
That’s it—an easy and natural way to loosen a tight lid! For more eco-friendly hacks and sustainable tips, check out our Eco-Home Guide for your home, garage, and gear needs.
