Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Brushed Stainless Steel Napkin Pinch
Customer Review: Mixed feelings
Summary: 3 Stars
I have mixed feelings about this napkin holder. IT is truly beautiful to look at though. I just thought you guys had pain in your hands or something. Got my napkin holder today and I have to admit--it's true, it's true, the label is unbelievable on this thing. However, not to be outdone, I grabbed an oven cleaner that is safe on stainless steel and an abrasive sponge. After leaving the oven cleaner on the napkin for three to five minutes, and using a little elbow grease with the abrasive sponge,the removal of the label was a done deal and the napkin holder is just very niceAfter reading the reviewer comments on how great this napkin holder is, I decided to purchase one from Amazon, ignoring the fact that several of you mentioned how hard it was to get the label off.Customer Review: THE LABEL.... a nightmare
Summary: 3 Stars
I debated and debated about buying this napkin holder due to some of the reviews.
After looking and looking I couldn't find anything else I liked.
Here's how I removed the label. I took cotton balls and soaked them in rubbing alcohol. I removed as much of the label as I could and then RUBBED RUBBED RUBBED.
The label did come off after about 15 minutes. It does leave a slight outline of the label which is kind of annoying but there's not much you can do about it.
My solution was to place the "good" side of the napkin holder out. The other side is hidden most of the time so it's really no big deal.
All in all I guess I would recommend. Just be aware you will have to do some work and you won't get a "perfect" product.
Customer Review: Great design -- But what's up with the unremovable label?
Summary: 3 Stars
The design of this product is great, and I'd really like to start using my napkin holder, but I have not been able to remove the adhesive from the large (4" x 3.5") labels that are on either side of the holder. One of the other reviewers had this same problem -- but her label was only on one side, my labels are on both -- did you ever figure it out? I've tried everything I could think of... Goo Gone, stainless steel cleaner, soaking in hot water. Nothing is removing the remnants of the label. I bought my napkin holder from Amazon a couple weeks ago and I may have to toss it out and get a different product if I cannot get it clean. (I'll update if I ever figure this out. Please post suggestions if you have any.)Customer Review: The label is indeed a big deal
Summary: 3 Stars
The napkin holder is absolutely great! The look and the design is fantastic. But as all the other reviews here mentioned, it comes with a sticker label on one side that is incredibly difficult to remove (and it's not the kind of label you can nicely leave on as well). I thought I can just slowly and carefully peel the sticker off but no matter how slowly you do it it does not come off clean. I boiled the whole thing to remove most of the label and had to use WD40 to clean up the remaining sticky substance. Even then, there are visible marks left. I've tried different stainless steel polishes to clean it up further but it doesn't come off. Oh well, it's character I guess.Customer Review: Great Napkin Holder

Oxo Good Grips Brushed Stainless Steel Napkin Pinch
I read some reviews where they said the sticker problem was resolved. I received my napkin holder today and the sticker did not come off with ease. After trying several things with no success I got my finger nail polish remover. The sticker glue and what was left of the paper label came off. Depending upon how much of the label is left on the holder, it will require a little rubbing to remove the label and glue. This will not damage the finish either.
