‘Ours have come off over time so I just wing it, you’d think I’d remember which is which,’ another woman wrote.

And one woman added: ‘Is it just me or these things rub off way too easily? They should be made to last. Mine is only a year old and also rubbing off.’

Another woman suggested: ‘When I got a new cooktop, I painted clear nail polish over all the decals and now I can clean without anything coming off.’
