Drywall – How to remove soap and toothbrush holders

drywallglue

What is the safest and least damaging way to remove existing soap and toothbrush holders from drywall? We would like to remove these holders because we do not use them. It seems the previous owner must have glued them to the wall and perhaps this is the proper convention. Is there a way to remove them without damaging the drywall terribly?

Best Answer

If they really are glued to the wall, a heat gun on low might melt the glue enough to get them off. Then heat the remaining glue and scrape it off.
