How to Make Suction Cups Stick Longer on Any Surface

Do your suction cups keep falling off too soon?

Here’s an easy trick to help them stay attached much longer!

1- Clean the Surface and the Suction Cup:

– Suction cups stick best to smooth, non-porous surfaces like glass, tiles, or metal.

– Wipe both the surface and the suction cup with white vinegar to remove grease and dust.

2- Use Salt Water to Boost Adhesion:

– In a bowl of warm water, add one tablespoon of salt and stir.

– Soak the suction cup in this solution for a few seconds.

– Shake off excess water but don’t dry completely.

3- Attach the Suction Cup Immediately:

– Press it firmly against the surface, ensuring there’s no trapped air.

– Hold for a few seconds to secure the vacuum seal.

4- Bonus Tip for Stubborn Suction Cups:

– If the suction cup is old or not sticking well, apply a small amount of clear silicone to reinforce the adhesion.

– Let the silicone dry completely before hanging any weight on it.

Results:

– With this method, suction cups can remain attached for weeks or even months.

– Even low-quality suction cups will hold better using this trick!
