Peel the Wallpaper and Remove Adhesive
Now it’s time to remove the paper. TESTIMONIALS
- Carefully peel the wallpaper up with a rounded putty knife starting in a corner, near the ceiling or under a switch plate. In the best-case scenario, the wallpaper comes off in large sheets. If your wallpaper comes off in tiny pieces at a time, gently pull it downward or slowly scrape it off the wall.
- Next, apply the wallpaper removal solution to your wall using a pump sprayer, spray bottle or a sponge. If your solution requires warm water, the hotter the water, the better. Just be sure to use gloves for comfort and safety.
- Allow the solution to sit on the surface for 10 to 15 minutes, making sure to keep the wall damp. Using your putty knife, start at an edge, and gently begin to lift the paper from the wall.
- Have patience! Depending on the type of paper and adhesive used, you may find that the paper only comes down in small pieces. If this happens, repeat the process to help soften the adhesive. manuelzpaintinghomeimprovementinc.com
