How To Strip Wallpaper
Blue Sky Painting (WA) • February 4, 2020
There's an easy way and a hard way!
Equipment is the key here and my go-to method is the liquid wallpaper stripper. here’s how to us it…
- Mix the stripper in hot water to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Apply the stripper solution to the wallpaper with a suitable brush or sponge.
- Soak the entire wall surface twice.
- Allow time for the solution to soak into the paper.
- Scrape off the paper with a broad blade stripping knife.
- Wash down the stripped area with warm water to remove all traces of adhesive and paper
What if the paper is difficult to remove?
- Make a series of knife cuts across the paper to allow the solution to soak in. Be careful to cut the paper only as damage to the plaster wall is difficult to repair.
- A stiff wire brush is a useful alternative to scratch the surface.
- Re-soak the surface several times.
- If procedure is unsuccessful, use a steam stripper.
