Do you feel that those traceless hooks at home that cost a few cents a piece always stick poorly and are single-functional, so you rarely use them? In fact, this may be because you have not found the right way to use and the scene. As long as you open up your mind, traceless hooks can even help you get the whole house organised! In this issue, we will share some of the storage of traceless hooks, simple methods, but also to solve a lot of life pain points.
Firstly, how to improve the stickiness of traceless hooks?
To be honest, buying hooks sometimes really depends on luck. Some hooks can fall off several times a day, while others stick but can’t even pick it off. In fact, in addition to the quality of the hook itself, we also need to pay attention to the following points before installation:
- Clean up the wall: before pasting, be sure to use a dry cloth or alcohol to wipe the wall clean of dust, oil stains, moisture. Otherwise, these stains will affect the adhesion of the hooks.
- Choose the wall surface: different wall surface adhesion is different. Tile, glass, stainless steel, wood veneer and other wall surfaces are more suitable for sticking hooks, while latex paint, wallpaper walls are easy to fall.
- Standing time: After installing the hooks, be sure to squeeze out the internal air bubbles, and stand for 24 hours. In this way, the hooks can be fully ‘sticky’ to enhance the firmness.
If you have followed the above steps, but the hook is still off, then you can consider using some auxiliary materials, such as nail-free adhesive, non-marking double-sided tape, nano adhesive and so on. As long as you open your mind, the method is always more than the difficulty.
Second, the wonderful use of traceless hooks storage
A lot of storage pain points in life, in fact, can be used to solve the non-marking hooks. Below, we will detail some of the storage of non-marking hooks wonderful.
Fixed monitoring
You want to install surveillance at home, but there is no bracket to fix it? Don’t worry, a small hook can be solved. Install the hook in the position you need, and then hang the monitor on it. As for how to hang the monitor onto the hook, you can either put a string on the bottom of the monitor or use a tie to hold it in place. This will not affect the rotation of the monitor in any way.
Organise pot lids
Kitchen space is too small and there is no place to store pot lids? Using hooks for wall storage is a good option. This is both neat and space-saving. Especially for glass pot lids, just enough to hang. For stainless steel lids, you can mount the hooks upside down on the wall and hold the lids upside down for equally convenient storage.
Storing Cling Film
According to the length of the cling film, install the two hooks in a 90-degree rotation and then hang the cling film. This solves the storage problem and makes it easier to access. It doesn’t have to be mounted on the wall, it works just as well mounted underneath a hanging cabinet. You can choose according to the space and needs of your home.
Fixed plug
Don’t want to throw the plug on the floor? Then use a hook to fix it on the wall. You can use one hook to fix it vertically or two hooks to fix it horizontally. If there is no hanging hole on the plug, then fix it with something like a tie, leather band, or string. Simple and convenient!
In addition, you can also rotate the hooks 45 degrees to install and then use them to fix the electrical plugs. This way, the space will be more neat and organised.
Storage of plastic pots
Too many plastic pots at home and no place to put them? Install hooks upside down on the wall and use them to store plastic pots. This will immediately save a lot of space. In addition, you can also install it in the bathroom cabinet, mirror cabinet door, used to store some cleaning tools and small accessories. Simple and practical!
Wardrobe storage
Too much wasted space in the wardrobe compartment, want to improve the storage power? Using hooks + grill net / grid sheet, you can build a compartment area to meet the classification of clothing storage. Don’t worry if the size of the grid sheet doesn’t match your wardrobe. You can buy smaller grid sheets and fix them to the hooks with ties. In this way, the same does not affect the storage.
Fixed rubbish bin
Bathroom bins take up too much space and are not easy to clean and hygienic? Install a hook on the wall and hang it up. This immediately solves the pain point of life. In addition to this, you can even install two hooks on the back of the cabinet door panels, which can then be used to secure plastic bags. This way, you can flat out replace the wall-mounted rubbish bin in your kitchen.
Fix the router
If you don’t consider router storage during the renovation, then the odds are that it will be placed on the floor after you move in. This is not only unsightly, but also affects the floor cleaning. In fact, this problem can be solved with hooks as well. You just need to install two hooks on the wall respectively according to the size of the router. Stick the top one upside down and the bottom one normally. In this way, a snap is formed that just holds the router in place.
New ways to play with hooks
Although the hook is good to use, but I believe that many people hate it ugly, feel used in the home has a strong ‘rental wind’ flavour. In fact, we can think differently. Cut off the transparent frame, leaving only the small flower in the middle. In this way, the face value immediately on a level, and small and invisible. Only after cutting off the outer frame of the hook, the load-bearing capacity will also be reduced. After all, the force area is smaller, so it is only suitable for hanging some lighter items.
Third, how to remove the non-marking hooks?
If you buy a very good quality of non-marking hooks, then the removal must be painful. If you are not careful, you may bring down the wall strap. For this problem, the common methods are as follows:
- Hair dryer method: use a hair dryer to turn on the hot air against the hook, about 2~3 minutes. Tear the time to pay attention to not be hook burns.
- Alcohol method: spray a little alcohol on it, let it sit for a period of time, and then slowly shovel it with the tool used for decorative shovelling glue. In this way, it will be much easier.
- Remove residual glue: hook residual glue, the same can be used with alcohol, make-up remover or wind oil, spray static way to remove.
