    You can use acetone, or nail polish remover containing acetone, to remove glue from your fiberglass tub. First, moisten a clean cloth with acetone and then rub the cloth on to the glue residue. The acetone will soften the glue. You may need to repeat the process a couple times until you are able to remove the glue.

    You can heavily spray the sticker with a warm vinegar and water solution and let the solution soak into the sticker for about 30 minutes. Then, use a soft sponge to wipe the sticker away. If the residue remains, you can also try using a baking soda and oil paste (using vegetable oil, baby oil, olive oil, etc.). Apply it to the residue, let it sit for about 15-20 minutes, then wipe it away with a rag.

    Take a warm vinegar-soaked sponge or rag and squeeze it over the sticky residue. Allow the sponge or rag to sit on top of the residue for about 30 minutes so the vinegar has time to break down the residue. Remove the rag or sponge and gently rub the residue away with your sponge or rag.
