How to remove clear sticky Adhesive from shower wall|  

I got got mine done in 30 mins or less. I put my shower on hot and let the steam heat up and keep the adhesive wet which made it easy to peal off and used a icing spatula to get between the adhesive and the wall. Worked like a charm with barely any adhesive stuck on the pall to peel off.

I used your technique and it worked! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I thought it would NEVER come off. Plus there was no staining or anything!!!!! THANK YOU AGAIN! ❤️

Great video, thanks so much for posting!! I just had to do this for 3 year old shower shelves and GIRL... let me tell it was a struggle at first. The heat gun did not work for me unfortunately, so....FOR ANYONE ELSE WHO THE HEAT GUN DOES NOT WORK FOR/ A GREAT ALTERNATIVE METHOD: 1. You'll need 2 people, a spray bottle, rubbing alcohol (70% or higher), and a putty knife (pair of pliers optional for grip) 2. Start at the corner of the adhesive piece. One person will hold the spray bottle full of rubbing alcohol and the other the putty knife. 3. Spray the corner with a bit of rubbing alcohol while SIMULTANEOUSLY wiggling the putty knife BEHIND the adhesive and the plastic. This piece is super important because if you start off ensuring that the putty knife is behind BOTH the plastic AND the adhesive, this method will work to remove it all it one piece and absolutely NO RESIDUE will be left behind AT ALL 4. Once you have a sizeable enough corner off that you can either pull with your fingertips or a pair of pliers (pliers for better grip cause the alcohol makes everything slippery) one person will continue to spray the alcohol while the other GENTLY AND SLOWLY pull the piece off. You may have to stop and get a different grip when you get to the part where the hook is cause it's a thicker plastic, but as long as you pull it little by little and constantly spray the alcohol, it will come off COMPLETELY CLEAN, no residue at all to deal with! --With this method we were able to remove 3 strips in under 10 minutes with no residue left behind! It took over two hours for the first gun trying the heat gun method and goo gone and it did not work and still left a sticky mess that we had to go back and use the rubbing alcohol and putty knife to get off. Sorry for the super long comment but after going through this I really wanted to let anyone looking for this info know cause it really was a GAME CHANGER for us and kept my security deposit intact!! May God bless every single person that reads this! Accept Jesus today if you haven't already, He loves you no matter what, seriously!!!

You did a great job. I'm an apartment maintenance guy and have been for a long time. These past few years these things have been popping up far too often and you are absolutely correct that it takes hours of painful work. I've actually scraped the glaze off of the tile using a heat gun and putty knife. Maybe I'll try the butter knife next time.

thank you so much for making this video!! im moving out in a few days and have had such a hard time removing these omg

After fighting with one for hours, I researched and found this. It took me less than 5 minutes to get it off with this technique. Thank you thank you!! You're a lifesaver

Thank you SO much for the hair dryer info! Helped me a lot!!

You're really thorough and good at making these instructions! That's so much! I'm blow-drying right now!

This video was VERY helpful. Your method worked out perfectly. I did exactly what you did and with some effort, got my walls cleared again. Keep up the great work!

Goo gone and also I have learned with stickiness, if you use the other sticky parts to help remove the rest of it helps. Basically rolling the sticky parts and using that sticky part to pick up the other sticky parts. If that makes any sense at all. Your video helped a ton. Thanks. I didn’t know where to start. I just had to remove sticky backing off regular wall recently using the finger method. I still need to tackle the bathroom and now I know how because of your video. Thanks so much.

Thank you so much! I had been redoing my 1950’s bathroom and bought some and of course I placed it crooked, it worked great

Thank you , love ! ♥️ Came out in seconds ! You are a genius and so helpfull !

Omg. I'm moving out of my apartment next week and this shit was STUCK. Thank you! It literally took me like 20 mins. I def have a few blisters on my thumbs but that's a small price to pay when it could have been a ton of money in "damages" from my apartment

Oh. My. GODDD. I have the exact same shelves and i have tried EVERYTHING and was looking everywhere for help. BLESS YOUU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS!! 😂🙏🙏🙏🙏❤

Despite all of this, your bathroom tiles are very clean!!! Well done young lady!

You have no idea how excited I was to find this video

your video helped me so much. Thank you for that!

This was very helpful! Thank you!

Currently trying your method and it works! The only differences I’ve done are 1: I’m using a plastic putty knife instead of the butter knife. And 2: I’ve found that heating it up is actually what’s making the sticky stuff stick to the wall. So what I’m doing is heating up enough of one side that it allows me to pull the rest off. I’m only left with a little sticky instead of a lot. Hope this helps anyone as well!

THANK YOUUUU, this was beyond helpful and I’m so grateful that you made this video! Def gonna subscribe 💕

The way you articulate your words to instruct your viewers is very satisfying. 😘 Seriously though, well done,

People like you are the real heroes! Thank you so much for sharing 💕

I used rubbing alcohol and a putty knife on mine and it came off in less than 1 hour with no damage to the tile.

The blow dryer and a flat head screwdriver worked great for me to get off the plastic mount. To get rid of all the residual glue in less that five minutes, I put lots of rubbing alcohol on the residual glue tike software and quickly scraped it all off using the flat head screw driver. I kept reapplying rubbing alcohol to it as I went along. Thank you!!! Your video is exactly what I needed and was looking for!!!!

Thanks girly! Life saver. Took me about 30 min to get two sections off.

I moving out of my dorm and I could not figure out how to get mine off my shower wall. This method worked thank you so much! 😭

Wow finally got round to doing this and it worked a treat. No residue it took about 5mins to wack it off no butter knife needed and very little residue. I only had one soap holder to remove. But thanks who new a hairdryer had other uses.

I literally have the opposite problem. I can get them to stay on. I can’t believe how well stuck they are to your tile. Thank you for sharing this video! ❤

You are a life saver thank you so much!!

Thank you so much, this worked perfectly!

Isopropyl alcohol. Use hard plastic adhesive remove. Create an opening the edges. Try peeling upwards and toward the hardest portion where the hooks are located. This creates leverage and can easily release the rest of the adhesive.

This is a really good method. I actually stuck these to drywall and removed by pouring alcohol on it. I was done in under 30 mins

I'm in this process now. This is so very true. The only difference is I used the claw end of a hammer instead of a butter knife. Great advise.

You saved my daughter alot of time, never thought of the hairdryer ❤

Thank you. I'm going to try using the butter knife with the hair dryer. My fingers hurt now. I'm going to take my time doing this.

Thank you so much! It worked!!!

I just used my thumb and rubbed the sticky residue off. Keep rolling it into a clump until it rolls right off the wall. Heat it up with the blow dryer and it comes right off.

A thousand thank your. This was great information. I will never use them again on tile

your technique is cool, I'd use a puttin g knife and the blow dryer and nail polish remover also called acetone. to get rid of the left over residue.

Thanks for the very helpful video! I would like to add 2 additional tips from my experience… if you are feeling pain scratching hard with the butter knife, put the Oven Mitts to reduce pain.. also for the last painful part of scratching off tiny stick parts, the stainless steel scrubber works like a charm!

Thanks for the butter knife idea. No blow dryer needed

I’m a maintenance technician at an apartment complex. We made It against the policy for people to put these on the shower or tile because it takes so long to get off.

Very helpful video. We just moved my daughter out of her dorm apartment. I boiled water and put it in an empty gallon container and poured it on the tile wall which worked ok too.

Worked fantastic. butter knife did the job. Even better than a razor scraper. Thank you so much for your help!

I actually used my blow dryer with a plastic knife and it worked really well surprisingly. This video saved me !

Thank You very much for your excellent suggestion Abbie, it really worked for me, I also followed Alan Rackson (below) suggestion of using 91% rubbing alcohol to remove the residue, it worked perfectly for my 2"x3" ceramic tile area-Total for both 25-30 minutes-THANKS A LOT

Great Video !

Great help!

Thank you girl for this video I made my life easier.

Thanks very much!! I used the rolling from the edge technique using my thumb and it worked like a charm. That rubber adhesive is evil!!

Dang.... this was so helpful - thank you

Thank you for this video. You can also try to use 91% alcohol it also removes glue and the alcohol works on multiple surfaces like removing price stickers off glass.

This is clear concise and helpful. I now have to buy a hair dryer I've never owned one but will now thanks

Girl, you save my life lol thank you 🎉 I tried the butter knife. I couldn't find my blow dryer

Thank you! This method worked for me!

Pleaseeeee girlllll thank you for thisss bc fr

Eucalyptus oil would help with final cleaning of the tile

Thank you so much girllll omg. I want my 2k back bessbelieve

Let your cleaning deposit be your motivation! You read my mind! 😄😄😄

Many thanks

Hey I liked how you were absolutely real about the struggle. But I am too curious to know what did you put up instead of those racks? I am about to put up something like that and after seeing this video I don't want to.

Oh thank god I found this video, I've been pulling for days🤦‍♀️

Mannn. I need that adhesive part removed asap! Like 2 days 😒

Thank you for making a miserable chore fun. The hammer scene is great. 😉 ❤

Thanks I will try this!

The best way to clean mold at home, wear gloves, use a terry cloth, CLR spray or bleach, fold the towel and use every clean side, put towel in a trash bag and get another towel. DO NOT WASH/REUSE the towels throw them away and do not let any air out of the garbage bag, get the garbage bag out of your home.

Unfortunately, the adhesive in my shower is not one big piece, but broken pieces on the wall...

Thank you!

I just finished this process and my fingers are done. There was blood from one nail and skin bunching on the same finger. They will be returned. The first set I had came off much easier. Most of the sticky stuff was still on the back of the plastic but this 2nd set, which was cheaper, most of the sticky was left on the tile. The sad part is there is one more I’ll have to remove before I move but good thing that’s no time soon. 😬 And this new corner set will probably get returned. Whew!! Way too much work to remove.

You helped save my security deposit!🤣

I bought a house where they left the adhesive, but not the shelving for it, LOL! Gonna try this... :)

Dang, I’ve been renting my apartment for 2 years and got a bunch of adhesive stuff, thinking I could remove it all moving out… that’s not the case, this has been a struggle not to damage anything…

Acetone works

Yow this gave me water bumps maaaan lol

Use a scrapper

I can't use a blow dryer because there's no socket nearby. What can I do so I can reuse it? I just want to turn it

😄 lovely thanks

Don't use your blow-dryer in the shower if you have water in the tub. Lol I'm concerned for the people with a clog in their drain.

Rubbing alcohol, paper towels and plastic wrap. Let alcohol covered paper towels soak in covered with wrap. Check every 20 minutes or so. Comes off easily!

goof off or goo gone would have made the sticky stuff come off easier

I’m a maintenance tech and people in my building use this shit all the time.

Good old vinegar works too.

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND USE A PLASTIC SPATULA TO SCRAPE OFF THE PLASTIC AND THE STICKY GOO!! You can apply pressure without worrying about scratching your tile. Hot water, steam, goo gone and cleaner all work BUT USE THE PLASTIC SPATULA AND SAVE YOURSELF HOURS AND EXCRUCIATING PAIN

Thanks! My tenant left hers behind for me to do. Uuggh.

I tried every everything, alcohol, knife, blow dryer. The adhesive is not coming out 😢

Hot water and a scrubby daddy! Dad did the trick!

It’s so crazy. I’ve tried everything even these suggestions and nothing works.

me moving tomorrow like ✍️

See? I KNEW this would happen. Everyone goes crazy online for these peel and stick shelves, but I never see anyone tries to remove them until now. Everyone swears that these shelves are "renter-friendly", but from what I see you had to do, I would argue that it is not. I would never have your patience. I'll stick with the suction cup shelves.

mold?? babby pleaes be careful

That’s not mold that’s dirt 🤢

Thanks! Now I know not to buy these!!

Completely useless.

You are a life saver thank you so much!!
