How to remove clear sticky Adhesive from shower wall|

[@SMGinTheHouse]

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.

Help how do I get TUB big rounds paw print stickers (for non slip) off of tub ty

[@bdl1756]

Not to be rude, but rather to potentially save others time... I tried doing the blow dryer thing and it was taking so long, so I searched online and I tried another method suggested. I used Vaseline and a putty knife, and it came off in under 3 minutes.

[@GamerShorts786]

What kind of Vaseline product you use?

[@gagerivard9019]

I used a product similar to Vaseline and it stopped the adhesive from sticking to itself and making it harder. Helped out but still takes elbow grease.

[@marykyner5837]

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

[@ErikMarlowe-ho6zy]

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.

[@keithashelin4118]

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.

[@Abbiehousediy]

That's good to know, I didn't have a putty knife, I'm sure it's a lot safer than a butter knife 🔪

[@vadisha2556]

I started with the blow dryer, but came to the comments because I was stress with how long it was taking. I tried rubbing alcohol and it worked like a charm, thank you for the tip.

[@Iparadisee]

Thank you , I used your hack and it worked

[@CrystleSequeira]

Thank you for this tip worked like a charm for me!!

[@MC-kz1mo]

Do i soak it with alcohol and wait to dry out or start scraping it while its soaked in rubbing alcohol?

[@MercedesScott-x6m]

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!

[@kimshipmon7076]

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! ❤️

[@grantevans1080]

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

[@Abbiehousediy]

I'm glad that I could be a help to you, thanks for watching 🙂.

[@tammymarshall4746]

When in doubt go to KZbin. I have been trying to remove the residue for so long😖😖 thanks

[@mikemedeiros]

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.

[@aletheagaddishaw3749]

Girl, the blow dryer method is a miracle. Pack ur patience and consistency and it works. Less pain and aggravation. Thanks for posting the video 😊

[@Abbiehousediy]

You're so welcome 🙏

[@grammysloth]

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

[@Abbiehousediy]

You're welcome, I'm thrilled to have helped you. Thank you for the feedback! 💕

[@aubrey__]

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

[@KeithJBrett]

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.

[@Abbiehousediy]

Oh wow I never would have thought of that, Great thinking!

[@mstwelvedeadlycyns]

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

[@aletheagaddishaw3749]

I used Dawn dishwashing soap and rubbing alcohol as well.

[@maidenmoar]

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.

[@user-qd2oj1zb4i]

Thank you!!! What a job!!! You saved a lot of people a lot of guessing and work!! I've rubbed the skin on my fingers in the past, and it hurts!!! I think I'll try using a plastic paint scraper! Thank you!!!

[@AlanRackson]

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!!!!

[@Abbiehousediy]

Thank you for the details, I'm so glad that this was helpful for you.

[@anands8511]

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!

[@stephbeezie7017]

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!!!

[@berlindablanc3399]

Thanks for this post. Helped so much. I'd add to use 91% alcohol and a tile/glass scraper. My husband tried different plastic scrapers, razors, and knives. But the game changer was switching to the tile and glass scraper! And applying the alcohol then scrape technique, small sections at a time.

[@stephbeezie7017]

@berlindablanc3399 that's a great addition, so glad it worked for you!!

[@stacykrett]

Thanks for taking the time to show us the step-by-step. It gives me encouragement that the job can be done.

[@sassyx2048]

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.

[@sfam38]

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.

[@MC-kz1mo]

Do i soak it with rubbing alcohol first then scrape it off or dry it out first? How exactly did u do it?

[@melaniewalker8234]

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

[@Abbiehousediy]

Thank you for your support 🙌

[@patriciafoxxy1986]

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.

[@superwolf6305]

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! 😭

[@jessicalowe_realestate]

I put a blow dryer to the sticky stuff underneath as well. I read rubbing alcohol which I didn’t have, so I tried some mouthwash. I then read apple cider vinegar, so I also tried that and I got it off in about 15 min just peeling and rubbing at it.

[@Abbiehousediy]

That's a great tip! I'm glad you found a solution.

[@Billbob0327]

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! ❤

[@Abbiehousediy]

Is the area dry? 🤔

[@peterdent1166]

Clean your tile with alcohol and make sure it's dry, these pads stick incredibly well.

[@meganstallings9118]

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

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!

[@Abbiehousediy]

Woohoo congrats, so happy that it worked for you!

[@rains57]

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.

[@gurlinacoma]

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

[@Abbiehousediy]

Brilliant, I bet plastic is safer than a regular butter knife too!

[@NanaWildflowers]

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.

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

[@Abbiehousediy]

Can you buy an extension cord or borrow it from somewhere else in the house?

[@aussie698]

Eucalyptus oil would help with final cleaning of the tile

[@DaniRenee531]

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.

[@Abbiehousediy]

I tell you... For something so cute and simple, it sure is hard to get off! I pray the last one doesn't give you a hard time. Someone in my comment section mentioned using boiling water... Maybe you can safely try that?

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.

First I want to thank you for your feedback and really appreciate it. I now use the hanging shower caddy because you can just hang it on your shower head.

Did it work?

[@peterdent1166]

Okay, you can get these cleanly off in minutes. Just warm the edge only so you can start to peel. Do not warm any more, peel it cold across the face of the tile so not to pull the tile off the wall. The adhesive sticks to the film and not the tile so there's no glue to remove from the tile. If you warm the whole sticker the adhesive sticks to the tile and is a pain to remove.

[@JozeeWalz]

at some point I decided that the "200"( each apartment is different) dollar fix wasn't enough for me to sit and worry about trying to get it up since when they refinished the bathroom they did a bad job. so I Was still careful but not as careful before because no mater how hard I tried to take it inch by inch it still ripped the glaze off the wall.
