Safely Refreshing Your Spaces
Removing wallpaper can be a daunting task, but with the right techniques, it can be done efficiently and safely. Here’s how to ensure a smooth removal process:
Preparation
Before starting, clear the room of furniture and lay down drop cloths to protect your floors. Make sure the room is well-ventilated.
Test Peel
Start at a corner or seam and gently try to peel the wallpaper off. Some wallpapers are strippable and will peel off easily.
Use the Right Solvent
For wallpapers that don’t peel off easily, apply a wallpaper removal solvent or a mixture of warm water and mild detergent with a sponge or spray bottle. Allow the solution to soak in for a few minutes to loosen the adhesive.
Scraping
After the wallpaper has softened, use a broad knife or wallpaper scraper to gently remove the wallpaper. Work in small sections and be careful not to gouge the wall beneath.
Clean Residue
Once all the paper is removed, clean the walls with a solution of soap and water to remove any leftover adhesive. This is crucial to prepare the wall for new wallpaper or paint.
Repair Wall Surfaces
Inspect the walls for any damage or irregularities. Patch any holes or cracks and sand smooth before applying new wallpaper or paint.
Professional Assistance
If the wallpaper is particularly stubborn or if the walls are damaged in the removal process, consider hiring a professional to ensure the best outcome.
