    I just removed my wallpaper in the blink of an eye. I sprayed "Scrubbing Bubbles" bathroom cleaner on it, it did not drip and soaked into the paper. The first layer came off almost immediately and I sprayed again the brown layer underneath and then it came off almost immediately. Easy peasy!!!!

I tried pulling my wallpaper off dry and it came off in little tiny pieces. Thank you for having sense of humor and an entertaining video.

    Thank you Alex, I had never tried to remove wallpaper before and I watched a few videos here and your tip with the fabric softener was brilliant. I live in Las Vegas and the softener really helped keep things wet. Took a 8 hour job and turned it into a 3. And yes it did smell good and the home owner gave me a $120 tip because he was so happy with the job. I guess I owe you lunch the next time you're in Vegas 😘

    What do you do with vinyl coated wall paper. The "first layer" doesn't just peel off with a scraper...

  • @_jillkay
    @_jillkay 3 года назад +4

    But after you peel off that last layer you are left with sticky gooey residue. What do you do with that? I’m currently scrubbing the heck out of the wall and scraping at it with a stiff chisel tool lmao. This is too much work 😫

    • @AlexWehrley
      @AlexWehrley  3 года назад

      It is a lot of work! Luckily most of the stickiness comes off on its own with the method. But a little scrubbing, as you're doing, helps with the rest! good luck!!

  • @jamesp739
    @jamesp739 4 месяца назад

    Same Idea just a slightly different technique. I use a 1-gallon garden sprayer filled with hot water and a squirt of liquid dish soap. The soap breaks the surface tension of the water allowing it to soak in faster. Using a hand sprayer like you did and my hand began to cramp up after about 5 minutes of spraying.. Guess Im just a weakling!
