My brother & I recently gave my mum a new cooker for a birthday present.
However, the glass oven door has an "industrial-strength" sticker on it. How does one remove the sticker COMPLETELY without damaging the door ? Any particular substance that will be safe to use ? I live in the UK, so it must be something easily available here.
Thanks in advance for all answers.
Bless you.

Try very hot water with good washing up liquid first to soak it. Then try vinegar later.

Laying a piece of regular tape over the sticker and then pulling it fast may make the sticker come off with the tape.
Do not scrape as this may leave gouges, scratches and gashes.
For persistent stickers: try soaking it with warm water for a few minutes, or with a wet paper towel.
A solvent such as De-Solv-It will quickly dissolve and remove the hardest of adhesive tapes and labels. Once the sticker has softened gently rub with a sponge or soft nylon scraper.

Use a hair dryer or a heat gun on medium pointed at the label to soften up the glue underneath it. It's an oven door and should stand a bit of heat after all.

Lighter fluid will take that right off. If the oven is gas, turn it off before you use the fluid. My sister says nail polish remover will work, too. Make sure you wash the door with soap and water to get any left over fluid off.

Rubbing alcohol will take the sticker off and not harm the glass. I've used for many stickers.

If it is a paper sticker then try sothering it with mayo, sounds stupid i know, massage it it espesh around the edges. Leave for 20-30mins and then get something plastic to scrape it of with.

Here in US I use a product called Disolve-It. It's a citrus oil so I'm sure there must be a comparable product there! You could also try soaking it in hot sudsy water then gently scraping it off. Good luck, wish my kids bought me a new oven!

Use alcohol. (ups u cant buy pure alcohol in the uk....) Try damping it with really hot water, then use white spirit. Make sure its on glass and make sure it doesn't run over the paint!!! White spirit is likely to damage plastics and paint
