I like to be sneaky. I dont want staff removing them. So I usually do the underside of the toilet seat (for mens room or unisex bathrooms), or the side of the toilet roll holder that faces the toilet.
Get a superglue bottle with a brush and coat the surface in that before putting the sticker on it. It’ll make it a pain to remove and basically impossible without surface damage.
I once spent an entire evening removing nazi homophobic posters from my uni campus, wheat paste fucking sucks to get off even with water. I had a spray bottle with me and for most of them I had to just scratch off the worst parts and leave them up.
Wheatpaste is just starches. It just seems logical that it would still be water soluble, is all. I personally have never tried to remove wheatpaste off of anything and dried starches can be a pain to deal with. (Clothes are an exception: you just throw the thing in the wash and be done with it.)
(Of all things I have typed on the internets, I never would have guessed a preliminary analysis on wheatpaste would be one of them. Lulz.)
Superglue is way worse than wheatpaste, if wheatpaste is hard to remove, superglue is impossible without causing extensive surface damage, especially on plastic surfaces.
Yeah, isopropyl or acetone may not play nice with plastics. Not only does it take time to dissolve superglue with IPA or acetone, you risk melting the plastic. (Acetone and ABS plastic are especially incompatible. Just the vapor will turn ABS into goo.)

If you don’t want staff removing them then wheatpaste. It is a lot harder to remove things that were wheatpasted. 😉
Would warm water not work?

Unsure, you might know more than us.
