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.

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.
