How to remove towel holder from wall?

When you decide to replace your towel rack with a new one, removing the old one is an essential step, but it can be confusing. The method of removing a towel rack varies depending on how it is attached. The following are some common fixing methods and corresponding disassembly methods:

1. Screw fixation:

Screw fastening is the most common method, which usually involves using screws or bolts to secure the towel holder to the wall. When removing a screw-on towel rail, you can follow these steps:

● Locate the screws or bolts on the connecting plate (some are on the side).

● Using an appropriately sized screwdriver or wrench, loosen the screw or bolt by turning it counterclockwise.

● Remove the screws or bolts completely.

● Gently pull the towel rail out and remove it from the wall.

2. Adhesive fixation:

Adhesive fixing is the most convenient way to fix the towel rack, usually using double-sided tape or special adhesive to fix it to the wall.

To remove a stick-on towel rail, you can use a hot air blow dryer or hot water to heat the adhesive part to soften it.

This will allow the double-sided tape or adhesive to lose its stickiness, and then you can slowly and firmly peel the towel rack away from the wall. It should be noted that the amount of heating should be appropriate to avoid damaging the wall.

3. Suction cup fixation method:

The suction cup fixation method is a method that does not require the use of screws or other fixings to install the towel rack.

To remove a towel rack fixed with a suction cup, you can gently pull on one side of the suction cup, or insert it with an object that tilts it up so that it loses its vacuum effect, and you can try to remove it from the wall.

4. Latch fixation:

The latch fixation is usually a protruding pin that can be inserted into the hole or slot of the towel rack to secure it (usually upward pins).

To remove a latch-fastened towel rail, simply pull upward with your hands to remove it from the latch.

Conclusion

In fact, there may be other special fixing methods depending on the product and brand. Before disassembling the towel rail, it is recommended to read the relevant installation instructions or user manual to understand the specific disassembly steps or techniques.

Please note that you should be careful when removing the towel rack to ensure that you do not damage the wall or other appliances. If necessary, you can also seek professional help.
