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 Is it out-of-date or the wrong color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.
