Weight limits are optimistic
Treat printed weight limits as best-case numbers. Painted walls, humidity, texture, and dirty surfaces can reduce hold strength.
Use the right hook for the item
Adhesive hooks are fine for light items. For bags, robes, and bath towels, an over-door rack is safer and easier to remove.
Prep matters more than brand
Clean the surface, let it dry, press firmly, and wait before loading the hook. Bad prep is why many adhesive hooks fail.
