How to Remove Wallpaper

 Do you have unsightly wallpaper you would like to remove? Removing wallpaper can be easy depending on what is adhered to the wall, the condition of the wallpaper, and the type of wall paper. Use the following instructions for wallpaper removal.

1. Start off by picking a corner of the wallpaper to see if it will peel off. If the wallpaper peels easily go ahead and peel it off. If the wallpaper does not peel easily, you may need to soak your walls down.

2. For any remaining wallpaper on the wall use a scoring tool or a scarifying tool. The wallpaper solution can soak in. Mix together wallpaper removing solution and hot water in a spray bottle. Soak the scored wallpaper and allow fifteen minutes to sit.

3. With the scraper tool, pick a corner and gently remove the wallpaper. Remember to use patience and not rush the process to cause any damage to the wall. It will depend on how properly the wall was prepared and how difficult removal of the wallpaper will be.

Tips: If the wallpaper is firmly attached, you may need to paint over the wallpaper or put up new wallpaper.
