Hello dear customer, first of all, let us state that although adhesion provides an important advantage, you do not necessarily need to paste it. You can also take advantage of other features such as being antibacterial, fabric, odorless and healthy without sticking. If you want to take advantage of its adhesive properties, if you need to remove the cover, spray or pour one of the solvents such as cologne, acetone or liquid asperox/selsil pak along the line where the strips go, wait for at least 10 minutes, then gently remove it, if there is any residue left, apply the same process on the residue and wipe it off after 10 minutes of softening. It will easily unscrew with your fingernail. You do not need to scrape. Our product is manufactured to meet the needs of our customers who want a shelf/drawer cover that truly does not slip. You can use it either way. Thank you for your interest and we wish you happy shopping.
