How To Take Off A Bathroom Towel Holder

Taking off a bathroom towel holder may seem like a simple task, but there are a few things you need to know to do it correctly. First, it's important to identify the type of towel holder you have. There are two main types: wall-mounted and freestanding. Wall-mounted towel holders are attached to the wall with screws, while freestanding towel holders stand on their own.

Once you have identified the type of towel holder you have, you can follow these steps to remove it:

Wall-Mounted Towel Holder

1. Turn off the water supply to the bathroom. 2. Open the cabinet doors under the sink and locate the shut-off valves. 3. Turn the valves clockwise to turn off the water. 4. Remove the screws holding the towel holder to the wall. 5. Use a screwdriver or a wrench to remove the screws. 6. Pull the towel holder away from the wall. 7. If the towel holder is stuck, use a putty knife or a pry bar to gently pry it loose.

Freestanding Towel Holder

1. Lift the towel holder up and off the base. 2. If the towel holder is heavy, you may need to get someone to help you lift it. 3. Once the towel holder is off the base, you can remove the base from the floor. 4. If the base is attached to the floor with screws, you will need to use a screwdriver or a wrench to remove the screws.

Tips

Here are a few tips to make removing a bathroom towel holder easier:

Use the right tools for the job. A screwdriver or a wrench will make it easier to remove the screws holding the towel holder in place.
Be careful not to damage the wall or the towel holder when removing it.
If you are having trouble removing the towel holder, you can always call a plumber or a handyman for help.
