But for everyday uses, like labeling/dating containers of leftovers, I love to use painter's tape because it sticks easily and through washings if needed, and is easy to peel off without leaving nasty residue.

I use this tape for when I wax my car, it does not leave any kind of sticky residue on my car when I remove it.

This tape, however, is perfect!It sticks to everything, stays on after coming out of the fridge or freezer, and doesn't leave any messy sticky residue
