FAQs

What is the maximum weight these strips can hold?

Each pair of Command X-Large Picture Hanging Strips can hold up to 20lbs (9kg).

Can I reuse Command Strips?

No, Command Strips are designed for single use. Once applied and removed, they lose their adhesive strength and should be discarded.

What surfaces are NOT recommended for Command Strips?

Command Strips are not recommended for use on unpainted wood, wallpaper, textured walls, vinyl, or surfaces that are constantly wet or humid.

How do I ensure the strips will hold securely?

Proper surface preparation is key. Clean the surface with rubbing alcohol and let it dry completely. Ensure the surface is smooth and free of dust or grease. Apply firm pressure for 30 seconds on each side.

Can I reposition the item after applying the strips?

It is best to position the item correctly the first time. If repositioning is necessary, you must remove the strips completely, prepare the surface again, and use new strips.

Are these suitable for outdoor use?

Command Picture Hanging Strips are intended for indoor use only.

How do I remove the strips without damaging the wall?

To remove, grasp the tab and gently pull it straight down, parallel to the wall, stretching the strip to release the adhesive. Hold the wall down with one hand while stretching the tab with the other. Continue pulling until the strip detaches.

Troubleshooting

Strips not adhering well

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned with rubbing alcohol and completely dry before application. Press firmly for the full 30 seconds on both the item and the wall. Avoid touching the adhesive part of the strips.

Item fell off the wall

Check if the weight limit (20lbs per pair) was exceeded. Verify the surface type and condition; textured, dusty, or recently painted surfaces may not provide adequate adhesion. Reapply with a new set of strips after preparing the surface properly.

Difficulty removing strips cleanly

Gently pull the tab straight down, parallel to the wall. Do not pull upwards or at an angle. If resistance is met, try pulling more slowly. Never pull the item away from the wall to detach the strips.

Adhesive residue left on the wall

Gently rub the residue with your finger or a soft cloth. If needed, use a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a cloth to carefully remove any remaining stickiness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Surface: Clean the wall surface with rubbing alcohol and let it dry completely. Avoid household cleaners, as they can leave residue.
  2. Apply Strips to Frame: Separate the Command Strips. Peel the protective backing off one side of a strip and apply it to the back of the frame or item you wish to hang. Press firmly for 30 seconds.
  3. Apply Strips to Wall: Peel the protective backing off the other side of the strip. Align the item with the desired location on the wall and press firmly for 30 seconds.
  4. Click Together: Carefully lift the item off the wall, exposing the other half of the Command Strips. Separate the interlocking strips on the item and the wall. Press the two halves of the strips together until they click.
  5. Hang Item: Re-hang the item onto the wall strips. Ensure it is securely attached.

Compatibility:

  • Surface Types: Best suited for painted surfaces (drywall, finished wood), glass, tile, metal, and laminate. Ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry.
  • Not Recommended For: Unpainted wood, wallpaper, textured walls, or surfaces that are consistently wet or humid.

Care:

  • Command Strips are designed for single use. Once removed, they lose their adhesive properties.
  • Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can affect adhesion.
  • To remove, gently pull one of the tabs straight down until the strip releases.
