Soak the label in soapy water. It'll dissolve the glue, and paper all at once....

If you have some "goof off" or even non-acetone nail polish it does ok. I have, however, switched to good old fashioned water soaking, followed by some spray lubricant (CRC/WD-40, etc), as it soaks in and loosens the adhesion to the metal. It's also safer.

Hello, Purchased this a while back and don't remember a difficult label, sorry. I use "goo gone" for stubborn labels, that might help? Smells a bit funny but works great.

I've used them as lip balm labels and, yes, they are difficult to remove. I think it really depends on the surface you're sticking it to, but even with them being very difficult you can scrape off the adhesive with some hot, soapy water and elbow grease.

It is a sticker, it does not appear to be attached with rivets or screws. I would guess removing it slowly and the use of isopropyl alcohol or Goo Gone should be a fairly easy job. Honestly, I have thought of removing mine too.

It's not that easy. I just tried to remove it for the first time and took me about 2 min. Best way seems to pry it off from the top down.

I just tried it to answer your question. I put the label on a regular white envelope and tried to peel it off. (I had rubbed it on really good to test this, but it was only on for a few seconds) It came off perfectly. It did not pull up any of the envelope. I was also able to stick it back on the envelope fine. :-)

I haven't tried to remove it but it appears to be that 3M double-sided tape with a magnetic strip on one side. In the past, when I've removed this kind of tape, i've had to use Goo-Gone or a similar adhesive remove to get everything off but I can't speak to this specifically.

Yes you can, the label came off pretty easy. A little residue, but I got that off fairly easy.

Depends what the label is attached to. If a regular mailing envelope, it tear the envelope as you try to remove it.

Depends on type of cover. Read this http://brianmaroevich.com/tag/label-remover

I found it difficult to remove also. It can be removed. I believe it is with the use of the little silver button.

I would say that the label seems like it is on there pretty good. I didn't try removing it because I didn't want to have a half torn off mess.

I have not attempted to remove the Whynter label, and it's on there very, very tightly. But, looking at it from the inside of the door, it's clear that it's just glued to the glass door. I suspect that with a good razor blade scraper and some Goof Off, you would be able to get it off, though you'd have to be very careful not to scratch the glass.

I used a knife blade and scraped it almost perpendicular across the label. Goof off or other products didn't work very well for me. Any flat metal edge tool scraped down it will remove it faster. A paint scraper or the side of the edge of a screwdriver would work, I used my pocket knife. I cleaned the remaining glue off with acetone. The label will soak off inside the waterheater if you don't remove it. It would probably remain at the bottom of the heater until you drained/flushed the heater but it might make it into the water lines and find it's way to an aerator screen at a faucet and plug it up requiring removal to clean it off.

Ours came off pretty easily- I guess we were lucky! For stubborn labels, I use goo-gone first- the main element is the citrus oil, so lemon oil would work, too. If that doesn't, I'll try acetone. Good luck!

No, it does not come out. What I've done in the past is re-printed another label and stuck it on top of the existing one

I've never tried removing it, it has never come off on its own - looks pretty sturdily attached. Hope that helps.

Directly above delete. Main label says 'PrtScr' with 'Insert' in small print on the front face.
