I try to re-use plant labels, is there an easy way to get the writing off them?

Our Advice:

If you use plastic labels and write on them with a pencil or marker pen, they can be easy to clean. Use metal polish and a piece of cloth or wadding and gently wipe over the surface of the label a few times. It is also worth leaving the labels in a jar of disinfectant solution over night to prevent any carry over from pest and disease.
