Buy high-quality products

When buying bathroom accessories without drilling, you should always pay attention to thequality of the providerBe careful and don't cut corners, because unfortunately not all glue is the same.
In general, a distinction must be made between two different types of mounting for self-adhesive products: those thatusing adhesive stripsand others that require aliquid assembly adhesiveLiquid adhesive can usually bear greater loads, but is also much more difficult to remove.
Thebetter option,for really smooth surfaces, is the adhesive strip. It is available in all different shapes, colors and thicknesses, but above all for a wide variety of surfaces. If your surface is not completely smooth or you need to stick over uneven joints, then a liquid adhesive is the safe choice for you.

Clean the surface properly

Whether it is a soap dispenser, towel holder or hook rail to stick on, to ensure that your bathroom and kitchen accessories really stick firmly to the wall, you should firstclean properly.We do not mean that you should simplythoroughIt goes without saying that you should be careful. It is much more important to use the right cleaner.
Many household cleaners don't just clean, they also reduce the adhesive properties of the cleaned surface so that new dirt doesn't stick so quickly. It sounds good at first, but it's a major disadvantage for self-adhesive tape. Your products may hold for a while, but in the long run you run the risk of your self-adhesive products for the bathroom and kitchen falling off.
Therefore, you should always and exclusively use aethanol-based cleaners(alcohol cleaner) or isopropanol. The surface is then free of grease and ideal for gluing!

Assemble carefully

You can also make mistakes when assembling your adhesive item. First of all, you should think carefully about where you want to place your new favorites. Once the adhesive has touched the surface,no correction is possible anymore.Removing the adhesive again will damage it so badly that the adhesive strength will no longer be sufficient. In this case, only a new adhesive tape will help.

The rule is: Finda flat surface,which ideally does not extend over joints. If you have to stick over joints, make sure thatno offsetEven a small offset can result in only a fraction of the adhesive surface actually being in contact with the wall.

At least as important is the pressure you apply to the adhesive during installation. Adhesive tapes are usuallyactivated by pressure,That's why it's important that you press your item onto the wall with high intensity for at least 10 seconds when installing it. It's especially important that you don't work too selectively. The upper edges of a self-adhesive accessory should be pressed down firmly.

After assembly, you should use both the adhesive tape and the liquid glueat least 24 hoursWait at least 48 hours before putting any weight on the dishwashing liquid dispenser, towel rail or kitchen utensil holder. This gives the glue time to harden and you can enjoy your jewelry for a long time.

Remove residue-free

Self-adhesive accessoriescan usually be done easily andremove without residueTo do this, you should carefully heat the adhesive area with a hair dryer to soften the adhesive. The accessory can then be slowly and evenly removed from the wall. Any adhesive residue can be removed with a soft cloth and a little cleaning alcohol or special adhesive remover. This simple method ensures that the walls remain undamaged and the accessory can be moved or replaced at any time.

However, a new adhesive strip is required for reassembly.

Why is choosing the right cleaner so important?

Many household cleaners reduce the adhesion of the surface, which can lead to self-adhesive accessories not holding up in the long term. An ethanol-based or isopropanol-based cleaner, on the other hand, ensures a grease-free surface that is ideal for gluing.

What should you pay particular attention to when installing self-adhesive accessories?

It is important to mount the accessories on a flat surface and apply strong pressure to activate the adhesive. It is particularly important to ensure that washbasins in the bathroom are level. Ceramic washbasins are often not flat enough. You should also be careful not to cause any offset, especially when gluing over joints, as this can significantly reduce the adhesive surface.

Liquid adhesive or adhesive strips for self-adhesive products?

Liquid adhesive can generally carry heavier loads, making it more suitable for heavier accessories or those with a small adhesive surface. However, it is also more difficult to remove, whereas adhesive strips can be removed more easily without leaving residue.
