The friction trick that removes shower adhesive perfectly. (63 seconds)

Here's how to remove sticky shower adhesive without damaging your wall.

Say goodbye to sticky shower adhesive, no blow dryer needed! 🔥🚫
In this quick tutorial I show how to remove self-adhesive shower mounts without damaging the wall using just a plastic putty knife.

🎬 What you’ll do:
1. Corner-Lift Method: Slide the corner of the plastic putty knife into the adhesive’s edge, jiggle in at ~45°, and gently lift until ~⅓ detached.
2. Sawing Method: Hold the putty knife like a flashlight at ~45° and saw back and forth. The friction creates a little heat that loosens the glue.
3. Alternate between the two methods, then grab close to the wall and pull outward for a clean removal.

Why it works: The corner gets under the bond; the sawing motion adds friction-heat to release leftover sticky residue.

Pro tips: Use plastic (not metal) to avoid scratches. If needed, wipe any remaining tackiness with warm soapy water or a gentle adhesive remover.

Here's how to remove sticky shower self adhesive without damaging the wall. I already took down three or four of these with this method, and I saw a lot of videos out there requiring a blow dryer, but I didn't need one. All I needed was a plastic putty knife. There's two tactics to do this quickly. The first tactic is to take the corner of the putty knife and try to get it in there at the corner of the shower adhesive. You see how it's already starting to come off? As you're pushing down at like a 45° angle, you also want to lift it a little bit up until you get to like a third of the way. So, here. Now, let me show you the other method before we move on. Sometimes you've already ripped it from the wall and there's sticky adhesive left. That happened to me. That's where I found the second method. So, you're going to hold it like a flashlight and go at a 45°ree angle and pretend you're sawing it. As you're doing that, it creates heat that ends up lifting the glue like this. See? So, you can alternate between the sawing method and the corner method. All right. And so once you're a third of the way through and you have like a good grip on it, you want to grab as close as you can to the wall and pull out.
