Why Do Stores Put Stickers on Glass?

We just got
a new stove.  I’m very excited. Except
for the giant Energy Star sticker on the oven door. I tried to peel it off, and
now there’s a big, giant sticker mess. Isn’t there somewhere else they could
have put that? Sigh. So, figuring I’m not the only one who has to put up with
this problem, I did some digging, and found some ways to get sticker residue
off glass:

 

Vegetable/baby/olive
oil: Apply the oil to the sticker, and let it sit overnight. Scrape in the
morning with a Teflon scraper or small razor.

 

Rubbing alcohol/Acetone/Nail
polish remover: I’ve found this does the best job. Using a cotton ball or
washcloth, rub lightly into the sticker. Little by little, the sticker is gone!

 

Goo Gone: This
stuff is AWESOME! ‘nuff said.

 

Mr. Clean
magic eraser: Also awesome. I’ve used these for everything from crayon on the
wall to scuffs on hardwood to baked on messes on pans. Note: these can
dangerous for kids, so keep them out of reach!

 

Windex:
Gotta be honest. I’ve tried this, but it didn’t work that well for me.

 

Lighter fluid:
This just kind of scares me. And does anyone really have lighter fluid anymore?
