Answers:
Get a little WD-40 and put it on the lable. Let it sit a little while. It will break down the glue. if no WD-40 try mineral oil.

Nail varnish remover!

Use Goo B Gone

The stuff works great...you can get it at any hardware store.

soap water and brillo pads

use lighter fluid by putting a few drops on the sticky area... in a circular motion, rub with a paper towel. repeat if necessary. DO NOT use finger nail polish remover!! in contains acetate. And don't smoke while you are cleaning with lighter fluid.

blow hot air on it with a hairdryer and it will peel right off without leaving a mark.

Try WD40. The sticker should wipe right off.

A little alcohol on a cotton ball, non abrasive. Or Dawn dish liquid...cuts everything.

Goo Gone... it's a yellow liquid in a clear bottle. You can get it at BB&B.

spray a little WD-40 on it!
you could also use a match to heat the glue and then rub it off.

There are a couple of ways...
1. Use peanut butter, it will melt the sticky in a minute
2. Spray it with WD40.

Neither one will hurt the surface and will melt the sticky stuff off.

dampen the corner of a cloth w/ lighter fluid; the sticky sticker will wipe right off; be sure to wash the area afterwards

Goo gone!!!

try lighter fluid or maybe paint thinner also if you go to a hardware store then they have some stuff called goo b gone that should do the best good luck

You could use oil too. Olive Oil, Canola, whatever. Oil up the barcode and it will peel right off. No scrubing on the stainless steel. I might leave marks.

Rubbing Alcohol

They are products you can use like goo-be-gone. Do NOT use nail polish it will mar the finish.

You can soak it in hot water for a few minutes and then scrub with a small brush; toothbrushes work great for this. Use a gentle dishwashing soap to avoid stratching the finish.

Have a great party!

Try Shout or Spray & Wash this works for glue on all surfaces.

just try hot soapy water and rub hard. it should come off.

SOAK IN SOAPWATER AND SCRATCH IT OFF GENTLY WITH YOUR FINGER NAIL!

cheap way with baby oil. / goo gone

To remove manufacturer or price stickers from cookware... Soak the area with warm water, then scrape off with your fingernail or with a hard-plastic spatula. A bit of rubbing alcohol, or a citrus oil based cleaner, will remove any remaining glue.

Try warm water and dawn dish soap. The dawn will break down the sticky stuff and you will be able to take off.

also try peanut butter.....it gets gum out.....it gets goo off.

Drench sticky label with any liquid dishwashing soap. Let sit for 15-20 minutes. The label will lift right off.

hairspray
