1. A method of attaching an object to a surface, comprising:

rubbing the surface with a rubber or soap eraser; and

using adhesive material at the rubbed surface to hold the object to the surface.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising rubbing the eraser on a surface of the object.

3. The method of claim 1, said using comprising applying adhesive material to at least one rubbed surface.

4. The method of claim 1, said using comprising applying double sided adhesive tape to at least one of the rubbed surface and an object, and applying pressure to urge the object and surface together with the double sided adhesive tape therebetween.

5. A kit for mounting an object to a surface, comprising:

a rubber or soap eraser; and

an adhesive material to hold an object to a surface rubbed by the eraser.

6. The kit of claim 5, further comprising an object for mounting to the surface.

7. The kit of claim 6, wherein the object is a wire organizer.

8. The kit of claim 7, wherein the wire organizer includes:

an elongated housing having a back wall, a front wall and top and bottom walls;

an elongated opening formed in said front wall of said elongated housing, said elongated opening being defined by inwardly and rearwardly extending portions of said front wall forming hooks;

a multiplicity of retainer loops formed of a strip of a tough, resilient, abrasive-resistant resin, each retainer loop having a bight portion positioned outwardly of said front wall of said elongated housing and two legs extending through said elongated opening in said front wall to position the distal ends of each retainer loop inside said elongated housing;

a hook engaging notch formed in the distal end of each of said legs of said retainer loops, said hook engaging notches each having an inwardly extending notch portion and a rearwardly extending notch portion adapted to receive said hooks to preclude withdrawal of the retainer loops through said elongated opening; and

9. The kit of claim 8, wherein said rearwardly extending portions of said front wall extend parallel to said top and bottom walls of said elongated housing.

10. The kit of claim 9, wherein said inwardly and rearwardly extending portions of said front wall of said elongated housing are reversely curved.
