DO NOT put them in your tub! They are hell to get off and just not pretty!
I have tried oven cleaner, peanut butter, blatently scraping them and although I have almost gotten them all off, they are just a total pain! rant

Once we had some that had suction cups on the bottom.

two things you are up against.

One is the staining that tubs get over time

two is that if Acetone cannot get the adhesive off you are up against some serious chemistry. Try using finger nail polish remover. That is usually very pro acetone. If that does not get the adhesive you can try lacquer thinner or MEK. One of those three solvents should do the trick.

Just put another tub sticker to cover up the one you're trying to get off!

Try soaking them in 'goo-gone'

OR...I just learned this at work from the guys (removing stickers from trucks) that if you get the CLEAR PVC primer it will remove the sticky stuff. Might be worth a try...if it doesn't take paint of a truck, it should work on a tub!

Thanks...tried the Goo Gone...no luck. I will try a few more shots of the oven cleaner...it is working but will take several applications.
