Remove Command adhesive hooks safely: pull the tab down, not outward

For compatible 3M Command hooks, hold the base and stretch the adhesive tab slowly straight down along the wall. Check the exact product and the condition of the surface first.

3M instructs Command users not to pull removal tabs toward themselves, but to stretch them slowly downward against the wall. This does not apply to every adhesive hook, and fragile paint or wallpaper may still be damaged.

Confirm that your product is a 3M Command stretch-release hook by checking its packaging or instructions. Do not apply this method to unrelated adhesives or screw-mounted fixtures.
Remove all hanging objects and clear the area so nothing can fall on a person.
For a two-piece hook, slide the outer hook upward to expose the mounting strip. Follow the specific instructions for one-piece versions.
Hold the base gently with one hand and grasp the strip tab with the other. Never pry the base outward from the wall.
Keep the strip parallel to the wall while slowly stretching it **straight down**. Some 3M products require about 15 inches (38 cm) or more of stretch. Do not pull the tab toward you.
If the tab snaps, do not twist or force off the hook. Consult that product's broken-tab instructions and stop if paint or wallpaper begins lifting.
