I bought this beautiful new duth oven pot, but the sticker glue won't come off. I soaked it in water, but still no luck. Any suggestions?

Spray the sticker with WD40 or another light machine oil, let soak for a few hours and rub off. Repeat if necessary.

While the sticker itself might be paper, the glue used is generally not water-soluble. Soap will take "forever" to remove that stuff. There's things right in your kitchen you can use, though. Scratch off as much as possible, then try some warm butter, margarine, cooking oil, or even bacon grease. Smear it on, wait a minute, then scrub it with a stiff brush or scouring pad. The goo that comes off can then be cleaned up with a strong grease-cutting detergent. It's hard to mess up stainless steel, but it CAN be scratched. So be careful if you resort to a knife or razor blade!

There are products on the market such as GooGone that will take that right off. However, try rubbing cooking oil onto the sticker glue then introduce salt to the process. Perhaps the glue will come loose with the oil. Also try fingernail polish remover, paint thinner, or rubbing alcohol. Something there will work.

To get the glue from a sticker off of stainless steel, you have to
run extremely hot water over it.

Use penetrating oil, like WD 40. If you have sewing machine oil, that will work. Johnson's Baby Oil will also loosen the glue, but it takes some rubbing. Goo Gone works. It is sold in the auto dept. at Kmart.

flow to the paint area of domicile Depot, or look at purpose, Wal-Mart, in the paint or glue area for a product called Quickie professional Gunk and Goo Remover. It dissolves the label adhesive yet is gentile on paint, plastics, fabric, and cardboard. Works like a attraction. you're able to be able to additionally purchase some VM&P Paint Solvent at Lowes or domicile Depot. that is going to dissolve the glue yet no longer injury paint. super for removing tar and comparable stuff.

apply some peanut butter and let it sit. The oil in the peanut will disolve the glue. The peanut butter just holds it in place so it can work. Try it!

Spray windex on the glue residue and let set, then spray again, should wipe right off.

I've had success scrubbing it with a soft sponge w/ a little dishwashing liquid and warm water. Dawn works well.

Apply some white spirit to it with a paintbrush and leave it overnight.
