A DIY expert has shared the summer staple she uses to get stickers off of plastic containers.

She said she didn't expect to be able to get stickers off so easily with the trick.

Kristen (@southernescape) has shared the hack with over 1.4 million TikTok followers.

The content creator responded to a follower's comment: "You should start a series of 'What will it clean,' I'd watch!" they said.

Inspired by the comment, Kristen set out to see what a bottle of spray-on sunscreen could do.

"We're going to start with labels because they come on everything and they're super annoying to remove," she said.

She spray a label on a plastic container with some sunscreen then using a box cutter, scrapped the label off.

"It's going to remove all that sticky residue," she said.

It didn't stop there, the DIY expert found multiple uses for the summer staple.

"Another one is if you have any sun-bleached furniture, you can bring it back to life," she explained.
