Default Removing Decal On Bed

I'm considering removing the decal that is on both sides of the bed. Any tips or precautions I should take? Does it leave any adhesive behind and if so what did you use to clean it off?

Thanks!

Just used a heat gun to remove decal. Start at one corner and heat and remove slowly. ALL adhesive will come off with decal.

I don't have a heat gun but I'd imagine a blow dryer would work too?

Yes it will work. Slow removal is best to keep from tearing the decal into multiple pieces.

I'm just going to add something here......
A hair dryer will be more than adequate to assist with sticker removal. If you use a heat gun, you may overheat the area and burn or scorch something.
Be careful, take your time and it will come off easily
