Removal Techniques
|
|
-
Try peeling back the existing paper at a corner or at a
seam. Many times the paper will "dry-strip" off
the wall. Other times, the surface layer may peel off, exposing
the bottom, paper layer. Pull slowly to improve your chances
of removing large pieces.
|
|
|
|
- Purchase
a high-quality wallpaper removal solution or gel from your
local retailer. (To buy a 4 ounce bottle of wallpaper remover click here)
|
|
|
|
- Wet
the surface of the paper according to the instructions,
using a pump sprayer, sponge, or paint roller. BE PATIENT!
Give the solution plenty of time to do its work.
|
|
 |
|
- Scrape
the wallpaper off the wall, beginning at the seams, using
a putty knife or 6" broad knife.
|
|
 |
|
- If
you were unable to remove the outer layer, you may have
to soak and peel the outer layer first, then soak
and remove the bottom layer.
|
|
|
|
- When
all paper has been removed, rewet the wall using the removal
solution. Use a scrub pad to make sure all paste is washed
off the walls, leaving the surface clean and smooth. Change
your rinse water frequently.
|
|
|
|
|
- Let
the wall dry completely before priming and hanging new wallpaper.
