Welcome to today’s episode! If you’ve ever struggled with Command strips, you’re not alone. Writer Caroline Mullen highlights a common frustration: "Command strips never work for me." But often, it’s not the strips — it’s user error.
To avoid mishaps, selecting the right strips for your project is crucial. Check weight ratings, which can vary from item to item. Remember, these strips only adhere well to smooth surfaces, so avoid highly textured walls.
Next, prep is key! Wipe your surface with rubbing alcohol to remove dust and oils. “Any walls more textured than an orange peel are not recommended for Command products,” says 3M's Michael Fussy.
When applying, press firmly and wait about an hour before hanging anything. Most importantly, use the pull tab wisely when removing them to prevent damage: "Slowly pulling down on the tab is the only reliable way to ensure you won’t damage your wall."
Follow these steps, read the instructions, and you’ll achieve success with your Command strips — saving you time and potential wall repairs. Thanks for listening!
