You can, of course, simply remove the sticker mechanically. If the surface of the product is difficult to damage with a sharp object, use a blade or a sharpened knife. They can be used, for example, on a ceramic surface. When using sharp objects on wooden, glass, enamelled or plastic surfaces, there is no guarantee that their appearance will be preserved.

If the item is not damaged by water, such as glass or plastic, you can leave it in some suitable container with warm liquid overnight. In the morning, you quickly remove the unnecessary sticker with your hands, there will be no sticky residue from it. If they are still observed, rub them with a brush or the hard side of the sponge used to wash dishes.

If you don’t have time for soaking, you can use another method of removing the sticker. For example, on plastic, glass, or wooden surfaces, try using vegetable oil. First remove the sticker itself, and wipe off its remnants with a cotton pad dipped in vegetable oil. Clean the oil stain with soapy water. A sticker affixed to a glass or plastic surface can be heated, for example, with a hair dryer. After heat treatment, it will be much easier to remove it simply by hand.
