Wall Paper Removal

Have you grown tired of your old wallpaper? Is it out-of-date or the wrong color or pattern for your new décor? Have no fear; removing old wallpaper is easy if you follow a few simple steps and use products that are available at your local home center, paint retailer or hardware store.

Step The secret to easy wallpaper removal is to loosen the glue underneath. Perforate the surface with a scoring tool like Zinsser's PaperTiger. The unique patented cutting action perforates the wallpaper to allow the wallpaper stripper to penetrate through the paper. Tip from the pros: The more holes you make, the faster and easier the paper will come off the wall.

Step After perforating the wallpaper, apply a wallpaper stripper like Zinsser's DIF Wallpaper Stripper Liquid Concentrate or DIF Ready to Use Gel. Apply the solution to one wall at a time, starting at the top and working your way down. It is specially formulated to penetrate and break down wallpaper paste quickly and efficiently. In about 15 to 20 minutes the wallpaper will be ready to be removed.

Step Remove the wallpaper using a tool like Paper Scraper Wallpaper Remover and Wall Scraper. The tool scrapes off stubborn sections of paper without damaging the surface of the wall. Once all the wallpaper has been removed, reapply DIF for 15 to 20 minutes to remove any remaining glue. Use Paper Scraper to scrape away glue residue and wipe down the walls with a damp sponge.

Congratulations! You're ready to paint or hang new wallpaper.
