Configuración e instalación

Follow these steps for proper installation to ensure maximum holding power and damage-free removal.

1. Preparación de la superficie

Clean the desired surface with rubbing alcohol to remove any grime and dust. This allows the adhesive strips to bond effectively. Do not use household cleaners or water, as they can leave slippery residues that prevent proper adhesion.

2. Attaching Strips to Hooks

Separate the adhesive strips. Each strip has two sides. One side is marked for the wall, and the other for the hook.

Press the adhesive strip firmly onto the back of the hook. Ensure the entire strip is pressed down for 30 seconds to create a strong bond.

3. Applying Hooks to the Wall

Remove the remaining liner from the adhesive strip, exposing the side that will attach to the wall.

Press the hook firmly against the prepared surface for 30 seconds. Apply pressure evenly across the entire hook to ensure full contact with the adhesive.

4. Curing Time

After applying the hook, wait 1 hour before hanging any items. This allows the adhesive to reach its maximum holding strength.

Mantenimiento

Command hooks require minimal maintenance. To clean the hooks, simply wipe them with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the plastic or affect the adhesive properties if they come into contact with the strips.

To remove Command hooks without damaging your surfaces, follow these instructions carefully:

1. Lightly hold the top of the hook.
2. Slowly pull the adhesive strip straight down towards the floor. Do not pull the strip toward you or at an angle, as this may cause damage to the surface.
3. Continue pulling the strip until the hook releases from the wall. The strip will stretch up to several inches.

Solución de problemas

Hook Not Sticking

• Ensure the surface was cleaned with rubbing alcohol only, not household cleaners or water.
• Verify the surface is smooth and not textured, wallpapered, or fabric.
• Confirm the indoor temperature is within the recommended range (50°F to 105°F).
• Ensure you waited 1 hour after application before hanging items.
• Check that the weight of the item does not exceed 5 pounds.

Strip Breaks During Removal

If the adhesive strip breaks during removal, it may be due to pulling it too quickly or at an angle. To remove the remaining strip:

• Gently slide a piece of dental floss or fishing line behind the hook/strip.
• Work the floss/line back and forth in a sawing motion to separate the adhesive from the wall.
