They also can be removed easily and a touch of paint covers it up.
And for good reason: Theyre transparent with a small stainless steel hook for a barely-there look.
Removal is simple and the hooks wont cause any damage.
Theyre even reusable; give them a wash and once dry, theyll regain stickiness.
I like these better than commands for small towels, ice scoop, etc.
