Taking Down Your Mixtiles: A Step-by-Step Guide
Here’s a detailed guide on how to remove your Mixtiles picture frames safely:
- Locate the Adhesive Strip Tab: Each Mixtile has a small, clear adhesive strip tab located at the top edge. This is your starting point.
- Gently Peel the Tab: Carefully grasp the tab between your thumb and index finger. Slowly and gently start peeling the tab downwards, away from the wall.
- Continue Peeling: As you peel the strip, the Mixtile will begin to detach from the wall. Maintain a slow and steady pace to prevent any damage.
- Remove the Mixtile: Once the adhesive strip is fully peeled, the Mixtile will be free from the wall.

Common Concerns When Removing Mixtiles
Many people worry about damaging their walls when removing Mixtiles. Thankfully, the adhesive is designed to be strong enough to hold the tiles securely, yet gentle enough to peel away without leaving residue or marks. You can easily reposition your Mixtiles decor without worrying about repainting.
Will Removing Mixtiles Damage My Walls?
The short answer is no. Mixtiles are designed to be removed without causing damage. However, the type of paint and wall surface can play a role. For textured walls, extra care may be needed.
Can I Reuse the Adhesive Strips?
While the Mixtiles themselves are reusable, the adhesive strips are not. Once removed, you’ll need new adhesive strips to hang them again. You can order replacement strips directly from Mixtiles.

Tips for a Smooth Removal
- Start Slow: Don’t rush the process. Peeling slowly and steadily is key to preventing damage.
- Use a Hair Dryer (Optional): If you’re having trouble peeling the adhesive, try using a hair dryer on a low setting to warm the adhesive slightly. This can make it easier to remove.
- Angle the Peel: Peel the strip downwards, towards the bottom of the Mixtile, rather than straight out. This helps to minimize stress on the adhesive and the wall.
