We have discussed how to install the wallpaper completely. You may have already done that. For those who have ever installed wallpaper at home, they will definitely say that it was one of the best decisions in their life. Because it makes the room elegant and characterful. Over time, you may get bored with the appearance of the wallpaper in your current home. Or maybe, your current wallpaper is just not worth keeping. You choose to remove it but don’t know how. Honpo is here to provide secret tips on how to easily removing wallpaper. Why do we call it a secret? Because how to removing wallpaper depends on the type and material of the wallpaper. Other articles rarely cover this point.
1. Removing Strippable Wallpaper
Strippable is a type of temporary wallpaper that can be easily removed by peeling it off. To removing this wallpaper, you will need a spatula or putty knife, soap, water, and a cloth. While the wallpaper is easy to bend, use a knife to remove the corners of the wallpaper. When the corners of the paper are lifted, peel the paper off the wall, then pull it as close to the wall as possible so you don’t tear the wallpaper. If the wallpaper tears, use a cloth knife to scrape off the paper and repeat the process. Once all of the wallpaper has been removed, clean the wall with soap and warm water to remove excess paper and glue. Let the wall be completely clean and dry before painting.
2. Removing Traditional Wallpaper
To remove the traditional type of wallpaper pasted using glue from the wall, you will need wallpaper scraper liquid, a spray bottle, a knife, a ladder, soap, water, cloth and rubber gloves. The trick is to mix hot water and wallpaper scraper according to the instructions on the label. Put both of these mixtures in a spray bottle.
Spray the solution onto the surface of the wallpaper until evenly distributed and let stand for several minutes. In addition to using a spray bottle, you can use a paintbrush or roller paint. Next, peel the surface of the wallpaper using a taping knife, and use a ladder to reach a high enough area. Be careful not to scrape the wall surface when trying to peel the wallpaper.
If the solution is not strong enough to scrape off the wallpaper that is thick enough, use a wallpaper-only scoring tool. This tool will help to easily scrape off the wallpaper, but be careful because it can scrape the surface of the wall. After all the wallpaper has been removed, clean the wall surface with soap and a clean cloth. Use sandpaper to remove residual glue or dirt before painting.
