Thus, it is possible to get an individualized unit, the color and decor of which will fit your own taste and preferences.

How to remove the sticker?
If this is a vinyl sticker, then it will not be very difficult to remove, which cannot be said about other type of stickers. It is usually enough to start pulling the film over the edge, and it can be easily removed. In this case, the surface from which the film was removed will need to be further washed, for which the usual dishwashing detergent is suitable. But it happens that a large sticker on the area, which has been hanging on the door for quite a long time, is not so easily removed. It may come off in pieces, there may be noticeable stains with glue under it. Here, in order to remove the film, you will have to use a hairdryer.. Simply heat the film over the entire surface with hot air. It will take only a few minutes, but then the film will easily lag behind the surface, and, together with the glue.
But also in this case, wash up the surface freed from the film.
In the case of a paper sticker, the fuss will be much more than it was in the case of a vinyl sticker. Warming up with a hair dryer here will be useless. The paper does not have the plasticity that the vinyl has, and therefore it will be torn away when heated, and the glue will still remain on the surface. The most appropriate solution for peeling off is wetting such a surface.. This is done by putting a rag soaked in hot water to it. It should lie on the surface for about fifteen minutes, after which it will be possible to get rid of the paper layer using a hard brush. After that, it will still be necessary to treat the surface with soda or simply with washing powder to get rid of the layer of glue remaining on it.
Solvent should not be used for this purpose, because it can damage the enamel layer.
You can also use another popular method to remove labels. You can put them on the oil of plant origin. But if a large area sticker is applied, it will be inconvenient to apply an oil compress to it, especially if it is vertical. Therefore, you can do it differently: put on the picture petroleum jelly or any other fat. It is absorbed into the paper and will lead to the dissolution of the glue, so that the sticker can be easily removed. As a rule, applying Vaseline alone is not enough and it is done several times, but this method is still easier than scrubbing the stickers with a brush. It should be borne in mind that the laminating film, if it is on a paper label, must be removed before processing, as a rule, it is not difficult.
Modern manufacturers of household chemicals have a lot of suggestions on how to remove stickers from refrigerators.
