Command™ Picture Hanging Strips make decorating quick and easy. One click tells you Picture Hanging Strips are locked in and holding tight. Best of all, when you are ready to take down or move your pictures, they come off cleanly—no nail holes, cracked plaster or sticky residue.
To Apply Picture Hanging Strips
-
First, clean the wall with isopropyl rubbing alcohol by wiping gently. Don't use household cleaners like wipes or sprays because they leave behind a slippery residue.
-
Separate the strips. Press two strips together until they click.
-
Remove one of the green liners and press onto the frame. Repeat with the other pairs of strips as shown above. Place the lower pair of strips about 2/3 down from the top of the frame. Check your package for the correct weight limits.
-
Remove the remaining liners and press frame on the wall. Press each side of the frame firmly against the wall for 30 seconds.
-
To ensure the adhesive will hold, remove the frame by grabbing the bottom corners and peeling the frame up and away from the wall. Don't pull straight off. Now, press the strips that remained on the wall for 30 seconds. Make sure to press the entire strip.
-
Wait 1 hour before reattaching the frame. Line up the strips on the frame with the strips on the wall. Press until each pair of strips click and lock in place.
To Remove Picture Hanging Strips
-
Remove the frame by grabbing the bottom corners and peeling the frame up and away from the wall. Don't pull straight off.
-
Remember to never pull the strips towards you or peel from the wall. Always pull straight down as slow as you can.
-
Slowly stretch the strip straight down, keeping your hand against the wall as you go. Keep stretching up to 15 inches.

To Apply Clear Hooks
-
Clear strips work best on smooth surfaces. Clean with isopropyl rubbing alcohol by wiping gently. Don't use household cleaners like wipes or sprays because they leave behind a slippery residue.
-
Separate the strips and remove the black liner—it's the one marked "Wall Side". Now press the strip directly onto the wall where you want to hang your hook. Press along the entire strip for 30 seconds.
-
Finally, remove the blue liner and press the hook onto the strip firmly for about 30 seconds. The harder you press, the stronger the adhesive bond will be. Wait 1 hour before hanging anything on the hook. This allows the adhesive bond to reach maximum strength. Check your packaging for the correct weight limits.
To Remove Clear Hooks
-
Hold the hook gently in place (so it doesn't snap your fingers!) but don't press it against the wall.
-
Remember to never pull the strip towards you. Always pull straight down as slow as you can.
-
Slowly stretch the strip straight down, keeping your hand against the wall as you go. Keep stretching up to 15 inches until the hook releases from the strip.

To Apply a 2-Piece Hook
-
First, clean the wall with isopropyl rubbing alcohol by wiping gently. Don't use household cleaners like wipes or sprays because they leave behind a slippery residue.
-
Separate the strips and remove the red liner. Press the strip onto the backside of the hook.
-
Now press the hook firmly against the wall for about 30 seconds. The harder you press, the stronger the adhesive bond will be.
-
In order to get the adhesive to really stick, you need to slide the hook up and off the mounting base.
-
Now press the base firmly against the wall for 30 more seconds.
-
Slide the hook back on. Wait 1 hour before hanging anything on the hook. This allows the adhesive bond to reach maximum strength. Check your package for the correct weight limits.
To Remove
-
If you don't see the Command® Strip poking out the bottom of your hook, then slide the hook up to reveal the mounting base and strip.
-
Hold the base gently in place (so it doesn't snap your fingers!), but don't press it against the wall.
-
Remember to never pull the strip towards you. Always pull straight down as slow as you can.
-
Slowly stretch the strip straight down, keeping your hand against the wall as you go. Keep stretching up to 15 inches (38 cm) until the hook releases from the strip.
