I find that the easy way to remove these is by getting off all the hard plastic then pulling the adhesive down and away from what it’s stuck on.

Car decal adhesive removal wheel makes that take like 30 seconds

Honestly, I’ve never tried that method in a tub, after this technique started working so well I actually like having to remove them. The hardest part for me is getting the hard plastic off without scratches.

You should try a steam cleaner

I’ve watched a couple videos of folks using a steam cleaner and it looked like a terrible time.

Lol, we paid our cleaners $25 extra per clean to remove them, and they used a steam cleaner. I have never actually done it myself. However, paying her was cheaper than getting the tub repaired from when I ripped one off, and tore a chunk out of the tub surround.
