Default Why???

Why oh why do the makers of the exo-terra water dishes put the bloody big sticker on the top of the dish where the water goes? You can never get the horrible white sticy left-overs off when you try & remove the sticker! Gggggrrrrrrr..........

Soak it in some water for a while, then gently rub off with your thumb. Works everytime for me

Furniture polish does a good job of dissolving the glue.

I just use really hot water and leave it to soak, tends to come off pretty easily then. If there are any remnants left over a scourer does the trick.
