This is the easiest, fastest, best--est way to take down and remove wallpaper guaranteed. (Yes I said bestest!) So simple, just watch and learn and take out the headache that wallpaper removal can cause. Just make sure that after you take down the wallpaper that you paint on a enamel oil based primer paint to seal in the glue from the backing that might still be on the wall. Even if you wash the walls, there will still be a residue and the easiest way is to put a coat of enamel oil based primer on first.

+Jordi Femenia awesome, you are welcome, and always glad to save a relationship!
Jordi Femenia hahaha
Funniest comment yet!
U seriously wouldn't think of this yourself! !!!!
Most relatable comment here 😂
This may work for some wallpapers, but other stubborn wallpapers have become one with the wall over 30-40 years will require more than just hot water.. ADDING FABRIC SOFTENER will help dissolve the binders in the glue and it will come off as you scrape the paper away.. If there is still residual adhesive, respray it and scrape it again.. If it doesn't come off the second time, let the wall dry completely and sand it with 120 grit sandpaper and then PUTTY, PRIME, SAND and clean the wall before painting the color coat.. THEN, it will look like a professional paint job !
Add approximately 25% fabric softener and 75% water in your sprayer. The cheap stuff at Dollar General will do !
good tips thanks
Ty
I sometimes do have to use a chemical remover if hotwater and softener don't work. Its funny that what works for one paper doesn't work for another. I used Diff (spelling?) in one room successfully and it wouldn't cut the glue in the other room at all. But another brand did. I am a professional and try to avoid removal but get stuck with it sometimes. Good luck to all of you. You just have to try everything! Sometimes nothing will take it off!
Thanks for the tips.

i like how you are simple and honest - not a lot of fluff and don't try to get people to buy something we don't need like expensive removers, etc. Very helpful thank you!
+Jamie Rowe you are welcome!
I waited 3 years to remove my wallpaper ! I was that afraid of the job, and headache it would cause me. I’m glad I ran across your video, it was a life changer! Never would I have thought removing wallpaper would be so easy. Not a lot of money or time was spent. Just water and a scraper! It came right off. Thanks for making it so simple!!
You are welcome, glad to help!
The paper has been up about 8 years, followed your instruction and each strip just came off complete, I had planned a day to do this and its finished in about 30 minutes. Top Tip and Thank You !!
Thank you so much for making this video! Two days ago I started removing wallpaper in my bedroom, and first day was terrible. Yesterday i went to google to look for tips on the internet and found your video. That spray bottle saved me hours of work. I sprayed more than one time because there were couple of layers from previous tenants, and waited for couple of minutes each time. Everything was coming down smoothly and almost no little pieces left on the wall. It really worked like magic and saved me lots of time scraping those little annoying pieces and a definite muscle ache in my arms! Thank you! It worked really really well!
thats so awesome, glad I could help you out!
You’re funny and helpful. Best combo ever. My fiancé and I are moving into our first home together and I like to do as much as I can at the house while he’s at work 😂 (guarantees that I get my way for the most part) Thanks for this “never done anything by myself on a house in my life” tutorial!!
You are welcome!
This worked like a charm. Spraying the wallpaper before removing the top layer loosened it up and we were pulling off whole sections as one big piece. You saved us so much time! 🙏
I’m always skeptical when I watch “DIY” videos but let me tell you something.... THIS TIP WAS AMAZING!!!!!!! It works so good. I was surprised. And I literally said every single time “oh my gosh, look at this!!!!!” When I pulled the sticky paper off. I was so amazed!!!!!!!!! Thanks for this great tip!!!!!!
Let me add: I did add a capful of fabric softener to my bucket of water just to make sure it was quick. Room smelled great and it peeled off within a minute.
awesome!
Thank you so much. I unpapered a room using your instructions and it was so satisfying to see the brown lining paper peel off in sheets. For someone not used to this kind of work, I impressed myself and my husband!
So many videos out there on the same topic and each has it's own technique! Yours cost nothing!!! No scrapers, no DIF to buy, etc, etc! Am doing my two bathrooms.......have pondered over this for some time. Pulled the paper off like you demonstrate.....had some small pieces to go back to, no big deal......then I used the hot water on the backing.....I could see it bubble up! Started at the corner and began to peel it off. Didn;t get the large pieces that you did....maybe need to let soak longer....BUT..the backing did come off very easily, with the help of a scraper. Within 30 minutes of watching your video, I had two lengths of paper (ceiling to floor) totally removed!!!!! Going after the rest of it. Thank you and Thanks, RUclips.
He had a scraper in his hand
But my wall papr is over 40 years old. I think it's holding the house up. 😂
ha ha
@@TheRykerDane I'm so serious. 😂😂😂
😂
@@leeluv96 it's probably on plaster not dry wall so it is holding your house up. Lol That is a pain and can lead to a complete demolition. You're better off creating a clean slate over it.
@@katieschifino9046 agreed
Okay, so I watched this video and I said to myself that there is no way this is going to to work. As my 23 year old wallpaper started peeling, my kids decided it would be fun to see what would kind of random patterns they could make on the wall by pulling it upward. The result, I couldn't take it any more and just started peeling off the top layer as in this video. Having nothing to lose I grabbed my 2 gallon pump sprayer (I usually use this for weed kill), rinsed it out, filled it up with hot water and started spraying. At first it didn't go so smoothly so I decided to let the water permeate for about three to four minutes and then put another misting on top, and sure enough, the wall paper came right off just like in this video..
This is an awesome technique and I want to thank you for sharing it with us!!!
You are very welcome and I am so glad it worked for you. I must say you had it easy doing it this way first. Other people try to scrape it off with a mud knife and go through hours of frustration before trying a different route. So at least that wasn't you. Congrats and I am glad I could help! Please share with your friends on Facebook or wherever if you think it would help them too. thanks so much!
This works great as long as you didn't put glue on the back of the wallpaper when you put it up. If you do, this won't work but if all you did was dip the wallpaper in hot water and just use the pre- pasted type of wallpaper, this works like a charm.
I dreaded removing 11 year old twice layered wallpaper!!! This is brilliant!!! I followed the advice but added fabric softener and vinegar to the water. I used regular spray bottle and it worked! I found it's easier to scrape the paste off the wall with that mixture. I like that it's such a simple procedure and you have the things at home already. No need to buy expensive wallpaper remover stuff. Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to show the process, Very clear, and comes off like "butta"...
Been looking at videos all morning on how to do this and your way is the easiest. Don't need the scoring tool don't need fabric softener just hot water and peel. Thanks
Glad it helped
omg thankyou so much for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ive tried all kinds of tricks ive seen online and then i watched this and read comments below, i did the spray bottle you suggested with HOT water and 50 percent fabric softner which i had a little luck with before and it all just came off in one fell swoop of the knife!!!!!!!!!!! i was able to do it with all three kids at home it was so easy!!!! i couldnt get the top layer of wall paper seperate from the backing but it still worked amazing anyway!!! your my hero!!!
+kayla stanko thats awesome, you are very welcome!
My and I weren’t looking forward to removing our wallpaper in the living room and hallway. We had been putting it off for awhile. I got online to see what I could find for help. My husband and I watched one video that suggested using a scorer first then spray with a combination of vinegar and fabric softener. My husband was starting roll his eyes. Then we found your video. He was all in to try your approach so we did. It went just as smooth as you said it would. Thank you!
All the way from Chile and in the middle of the COVID quarantine, thank you for sharing this. Now all I have to do is get the paint in the color I want (after the quarantine is over) and paint! Thanks!!!!!
Planning on redoing my rental kitchen but don't want to spend more than $100. This helps me so much because I can take the dying wallpaper down and just paint now. Was worried it would be a whole renovation ordeal but see it may be something simple now. Thanks so much!!
Thanks for letting me know to use an oil based primer before painting!
This worked great! It took awhile and the bathroom was really wet by the time i finished, but both the wallpaper and the glue layer came off well. One little thing i did additionally, was that when the paper split as i peeled it off, i immediately misted the part that wasn't coming off, then worked it back down to join the main part. Because there was no stickiness when it was dry after removing the glue layer, i painted directly over it with a latex paint, and it looks good. Or at least a LOT better than before i started! Thanks for the video - this was by far the easiest way shown, and it worked.
Ralph acosta Thats awesome, glad to help!
I could seriously kiss your whole face right now!!!! The hot water worked! I got the whole room done in half the time it took me yesterday and I didn't get one wall done .....thank you so much!!!!
Linda Motts Thats awesome! Glad it worked out for you, and you are welcome!
OH MY GOSH. Thank you so much!!! I've been stuck in my room for two WEEKS working on this wallpaper ! You have saved my life! Thank you!
THANK YOU, so much!💜
I'm about to move in my new home next month, and the guy wants $5000
to remove the wallpaper and to paint😳. NOT HAPPENING. Thank you so much for this video.
Video was perfect. We had a 2" wallpaper border in mid wall for 15 years.
Came off like butter, just like you demonstrated by pulling off top layer,
wetting with warm water, waiting to absorb 3-4 minutes. Will try same technique for bathroom full walls of paper in near future! Thank you for making the video.
***** You are welcome, I am glad it worked well for you!
Yes this is the worst when it is on unprimed walls. It is a slow job to remove it all. It's either that or to mud over whats left and smooth out with sanding. You just may have to do this a few times to get everything leveled out. It just depends on how much time you want to spend on it. Hope that helps!
Very helpful information. I really wanted to avoid chemicals and this is the right solution.
Thanks,
John
Thank you very much mate. i am a beginner and this made my life easier. i would love to wait until you put up a video of how to put on a wall paper.
Watched this video and it gave me the confidence to tackle a huge wallpaper removal project in our new home. I’ll be updating this post letter this week with my results. Again thanks for the awesome tips 👍🏻
You are welcome, glad to help!
This is DA Bestest! I've heard horror stories about removing wall paper & didn't know where to begin but your video made it a snap! So quick & easy I couldn't believe it! Suggestions: Use a plastic putty knife to prevent gouging the wall, cover outlets and place a towel along baseboard in case of water drips (I get crazy with a sprayer!). Thanks immensely for saving a newbie!"T" for Texas!!
+T Nelson thats awesome, you are very welcome!
I have been dreading pulling the wall paper for years. Listened to this video 90 minutes ago. Went to the kitchen to try pulling the wallpaper. All done already. Still have to do the wall prep. But fabulous start!!! Thanks!!
+Ron Eckstam awesome, you are very welcome!
Thank you. Clear, concise, and simple. Included 1/2 fabric softer & hot water to soak.
I wish I started watching you before removing my wallpaper 😭😭😭😩😩 but it’s better late than never!! I’m gonna use this for the reminder of my wallpaper removal!! You are absolutely awesome!!!
Nice, straightforward explanation from a guy who works in the field, thanks.
Rigor Mortis you are welcome, I hope it helped!
Just decided that I was going to do a makeover on our entryway, which was rocking some really really old, sad-looking wallpaper. I just tested a strip with some hot water and it came off just like that!!!! So happy I found this video.
oh thats awesome, nice job!
Omgoosh thank you so much, I thought removing this border was gonna be a nightmare, thanks to you, its easy as pie lol this trick is also good to let you know there's more wallpaper under the paint, which I did not know!
moving next weekend and the entire house has wallpaper all over with quite a bit of damage to it due to earthquakes so I want to remove atleast the bedroom's wallpaper and paint it before we move in... never attempted it before and everyones been telling me what a mission it is but this tutorial gave me lots of hope... Im going to try this tomorrow! Thanks heaps for sharing!
you are very welcome, good luck!
How does the decorative part of the wallpaper rip off so easily for you? Mine tears in little bits and pieces :(
Because it’s been on there for a long time, the older your wallpaper is the harder it is to get off. Try renting a steamer to get it off.
About to redo our bathroom and your method looks so fun. Best video I've seen
thanks, you will get it
No problem! Thats what I like to hear! At least I helped out one person, thanks for watching!
👍 Thank you for this video! I have been dreading this week just thinking of tackling a kitchen, dining room, and entire bathroom. Untill now, that I watched this. I am feeling pretty confident and ready to get rid of that old granny wallpaper!!!
+Jaqueline Palomino the older it is can make it really easy to do.
Thanks for the tips, I've been staring at the walls wondering where to begin and what to do.
Tracy Rehnberg Knowing is half the battle! (GI JOE)
This worked perfectly! Saved me from having to buy removers. The wall paper had been there a long time and your method made it easy to remove. Thanks!
awesome, you are welcome!
Good tips well nicely explained without patronising.
Thanks for making this video!! We have hideous and i mean hideous flowered wallpaper in our bathroom that has probably been there for 40 years! Idk how long but it sure looks old fashion.. And I just couldn't take it any longer! I know how to paint but had no idea how to take off wallpaper the correct way! I'm so thankful for your video and that this can be done with just hot water and a little effort!! I have had a hard time getting the top layer of wallpaper off in some spots but noticed if I got that wet too it was easier to rip off then i would wet the glue layer! Thank you again!! Take care!
Andrea Stratton You are very welcome. I am glad you watched and it made it a little easier to update your bathroom look. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much, have donated my wall paper stripper to a sauna and replaced with a water spraying bottle!
Thank you very much for this video!!!! I've been at my wits end pulling little bits of vinyl wallpaper from my kitchen...it's been there for about 30 yrs. (former owner's) and need to get rid of it to refresh with new paint. This looks much better than what I've been doing....very exhausting!!! Thanks again!
WOW, you literally saved my life & my pocket. This was AMAZING!! Thank you for sharing!
thats awesome, glad it worked!
I'm getting ready to take down some old wallpaper so I can paint my nursery. I've watched many videos and yours seems like the best and easiest way to go. Cant wait to try this method! Wish me luck!🙂
awesome, it will work! You can do it!
You were the first person I watched removing wallpaper and it worked wonderfully!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Sheila Gateley you are very welcome!
Worked like a charm! I had to spray it multiple times because I had multiple layers of wallpaper but it was very easy to do. Thanks
Thats great, glad it worked for you!
We add Dif to the hot water, worked to peel off the wallpaper and glue backing underneath.
Mindy Graybill what is Dif?
its like a glue solvent cleaner
Thank you for your video. I started scraping after wetting the wallpaper. But, your way is more simple. Will work on the rest of the wall now by your instructions. 😊 On a mission to get it done. Thanks again. Happy Memorial Day!
Yeah, peeling it off right now! Thanks! Your new buddie, Yvonne
+yvonbug you are very welcome!
You the man!!! Thanks mab
Thank you worked a charm. Only bits to tidy up are around a cistern and the electrical outlets everything just came down in strips. I had asked in a hardware store and they suggested chemicals and suggested hot water wouldn't work. Glad I didn't listen, no smell, no residue just a bit of glue to tidy up.
Thanks
You are very welcome!
I would caution viewers to be careful of over wetting as it might cause the paper sheeting on improperly primed or sealed sheetrock to bubble. To combat this possibility, I would add wallpaper glue dissolving solution to the water to increase it's effectiveness and thereby reducing the amount of water needed. In addition, it is useful for removing the stickiness mentioned in this video and thereby negating the need for oil based primer as was suggested.
This solution is particularly useful if you don't have peelable wallpaper as was in this demonstration. Just remember that you will also need the device that puts pinholes in your wallpaper as a entry point for the solution. This too is available at most big box hardware stores such as Lowes.
I'll definitely be trying that!! Have already removed the 1st paper layer and have been avoiding do this next step. You've made it look so simple! Thank you.
Thanks, hope it helped!
I found this very informative thanks!!!! What about sanding the wall after removing wall paper
Lakesha Turner Yes you can do that. Sand may work better after priming. You want to cover up that glue first then patch and repair any bad spots.
nice tone voice , very informative in a non boring way..thanks for getting straight to the point and telling us in-between what you doing ..and mentioning what products you used thank you for this video I learned alot.
Thanks for watching, hope it helped!
I have a whole house to do, @ 3,000sq ft! Thank you, I hope you made it a lot easier. Hope it works! Let you know...
+BStar106 Good luck, I sure hope it works out for you!
my ma pulled off the wallpaper but it seems like it peeled in half (like peeling in half an index card). what's the best way to remove the paper backing and paste from raw drywall now?
Thanks RykerDane! This really helped this process go by a lot faster!
My wife and I started a removal job last night, using a scoring tool and spray chemical, getting very little done and we became very frustrated. Your method looks much, much easier and less stressful. I'm going to try it out later today.
Matt Chlapek awesome, it will work, lots of hot hot water, it will loosen the glue
TheRykerDane Just wanted to give you some props. I used your method and it worked extremely well. The paper we took down had been up for 20+ years. The top layer was a little difficult in some places to get off, but once we got to the backing and applied hot water, it came off with ease!!
Matt Chlapek Awesome, yep it saves time with this technique for sure, you are welcome!
I wish I had seen this before I spent a week and $80 to rent a steamer.
I'm going to try it right now, wish me luck.
so sorry, good luck, it will work great!
Did it work
I watched so many videos and none of them showed how to peel the back wallpaper off. This video was so much help
you are so welcome!
It worked out perfectly thanks 😄😄😄
+Sincerely Shans you are welcome!
What a great tip video. I was removing a border at the ceiling line and the water loosened it a lot, but not completely. I used a 4" or 5" plastic putty knife and it took it off very well. Thank you very, very much.
you are very welcome!
This helped load, i knew there was an easier way
you are welcome!
10 out of 10 mate for a great and simple way to do this saves people a fortune in stuff they do not need like gels ect and scorers that mark the walls well done
thanks!
OMG!!! You just saved my sanity and my husbands wallet!! Xoxox THANK YOU!!
ShaeleneClark ha ha, well thats good! I am glad no one went crazy taking down wallpaper, if you have a bad experience, it can scar you for life, ha ha!
I've been wasting time using a small steamer, ive got a spray bottle just like yours, im gonna do this! Thanks for the tip , good ,concise video.
You are welcome!
how long should we wait to paint?
you can prime when it is dry pretty much. then you can paint once the primer is dry, but you could wait a day too especially to let the place air out from the bad smelling primer
This is awesome thanks so much! I’m wondering if there’s another primer you could suggest tho by chance. I’m painting in a nursing home and the management is concerned about the oil based primer.
I just started trying to do it your way. I was gonna score the paper and soak it with Downy like I always have... You Rock!I Thank you, thank you, thank you! You saved me a ton of extra work... Awesome video!
You are welcome, glad it helped you out!
This is a great video, thanks!
you are very welcome!
Omg finally someone that isn't all "you need these 5 plus items to do this project" so happy I saw this before I went and got a bunch of chemicals! Thank you and wish me luck removing 1960s velvet wallpaper... lol!
woop hooo!!! I just did a test run and did it straight on the wallpaper..... it came off backing and all!! Thank you again!
+Melissa Clagg thats awesome, glad to help out!
Would've been funny if it ended at 0:12
Thanks! Worked like a charm. What a relief after reading through some of the long, drawn out, labour-intensive options out there.
Helene Vallee Yes you are welcome, a lot of long winded examples and videos. glad I could help!
Man i wish i wouldve seen this before i spent 72 years scraping that shit like an idiot
ha ha, sorry to hear that
:)
You are a true legend. Thank you so much for posting this video. It has saved me a lot of mess and time especially when a gal like me needs to do her own home all by herself.
+Cam Lar you are welcome, I hope it helped
I have one problem though now that I have set the wheels in motion. I can't get it off in one smooth piece but need to use my scraper (even after waiting longer). But the scraper dug into a deeper level of the wall past the grout which had once upon a time covered some old wallpaper that someone else painted over after grouting. Ive got a wall which I scraped into a mess whilst other walls in the same room are smooth but waiting to be steamed off as per your video. What's the best way to level out tge wall Ive wrecked? Im doing it myself too.
+Cam Lar his method works great with smooth surfaces under the wall paper especially if it's primed or skim coated. but doesn't always work great when the walls are textured. sometimes you do need to rent a steamer. stay away from tiger claws. they just make things more difficult.
+Cam Lar as for the wall you wrecked. I recommend priming it then floating over the wrecked parts with joint compound.
TLOYA1 Thank you. I winded up hiring somwöeone for those walls in particular. Thank you for the feedback. Will bear it in mind for future.
Really good tip thanks. I used to mix wallpaper glue with some water and roll it on the old wallpaper to soak it but it's a bit messy. Like this way better.
Thanks, it worked. I just used a spray bottle on mist. Worked well. Saved me alot of time and frustration.
awesome!
Awesome video! Ur the only one who didn't score or mix up solutions and u achieved the same results! Nice job...
Thanks for posting this!! Removing wallpaper can be an intimidating project but your method made it so easy.
We sprayed the walls with hot water and it came off just like butter!!!! Amazing!
Why do you have butter on your walls?
Have an upcoming task with the place I'm getting (buying). Wallpaper removal. What you've shown is inspirational. Big Thanks. Liked that you mentioned the 'oil-based primer.' Cheers.
All these videos mention a steamer which I don't have! This tip worked for me wonderfully! Thank you so much!!
You are so welcome! And steamers take too long and don't really do the job that much better
looks great, nice demo. I think that was a vinyl wallpaper, I have a thin fabric like paper that nothing is working on...but your oil base primer tip was appreciated.
Pamela Damhorst You are welcome. If the paper is really thin and won't come off, then just prime over it, mud the seams and then put your paint coat over it. you will never know there was wallpaper there.
This was a job I was dreading, but you made it easy! Took no time at all. Thanks so very much!!
You're very welcome
So I just pulled off the 30-40 year old wall paper in my powder room and was actually going to paint over that backing stuff.
Thanks for the video I am going to try this. Will let you know how it goes...
🤞🏾
Sounds great! You got it. If you left the backing, then you need to mud and sand a bunch
Worked like a DREAM!! I was able to strip the walls in my powder room and paint all in one day!!! THANK YOU!!!
awesome, you are welcome!
Oil based primer. Good tip. I wouldn’t have known to do that. Thanks!! Hoping to take the wallpaper in my guest bathroom down this week!
Buying a new house that has wallpaper. Will definitely be following hear instructions. I'm praying it works just as easily as it did for you.
good luck!
wonderful tips thank you! i am going to get that sprayer today, i have been using a regular old spray bottle! this looks much better. and thanks for primer tip too !
+Lil M you are very welcome!
I'm thinking about putting up new wallpaper. The old wallpaper has been up for 40+ years. Do I need to paint the wall AFTER I remove the old paper and BEFORE I put new wallpaper up? Great video. Thanks for the tips
yes you do, because the old glue will bleed through the paint, or the wall could look rough too
Hey my house was built in the late 1960’s. There is some wall paper at the entrance. Should I go for it, and attempt to remove the wall paper. Do you think I will have issues removing it with hot water, since it been so long?
yep it should come off easy
What an easy way to do that.! My painter was going to charge me a fortune to do that; I will do it myself and I will save money.Thank you Ryker.
You are very welcome!
I'm most definitely going to try using your method. I recently inherited a large beautifully built house in Greece. It was built in the 70's at the height of the wallpaper craze. There is not one room in my 480 square meter house that does not have that 70's Show wallpaper. This is almost a bucket list job. Going to start in the kitchen and dining room first then work my way out.
Any suggestions about covering floors furniture etc. ??
Anastasia Sharpe ok, good luck, you can just use some old sheets, or get plastic cover from a hardware store. The only area that will get wet or have paper will be right next to the wall at the baseboard, so just move furniture out about 5 feet.
OMG!This is magic!!!!,I never leave any mesage ever..but this is to good that I have to write the note to say thak you with all my heart!!!.We brought our house 10 years ago ,we try to hire people ,try to rent mechine from homediop and buy chimical ,try everything and nothing compare to the way you teach ,yersterday I try to use the way you show ,it is working ,for 10 years...Although there are some tough part that I figure out how to get rid off them as the stay home mom instint ,will show you how and thank you with all my heart ,you are the best !!!
you are very welcome, glad to help!
Your video looked so promising! Ran out and purchased a garden sprayer just for this project. Had already removed the top design layer of the wallpaper in our kitchen, breakfast area, laundry and mudroom that a professional installer put up about 13 years ago. What was left was the backing. I must be doing something wrong. The backing isn't coming down the way your video (or those who've commented) say it will. I'm using hot water I've heated in the microwave, then spraying it on 3 foot sections of backing. It doesn't seem to matter how long I wait to remove it, it still doesn't come down in more than small bits. I've tried at 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes. It doesn't seem to make a difference in how wet the wall is. I've tried soaking it, resoaking it, soaking it less. More often than not, I have to scrape it off using a putty knife and lots of elbow grease. More often than not, it feels like some of the backing comes off, but some of it is left behind (like stuck on toilet paper). It really takes lots of effort to remove that rough textured stuff toilet paper kind of paper. It's taking me about an hour to remove one 8 foot tall strip. I still have much to remove! I've also tried using hot water and Dawn and hot water and Gain fabric softener. Nothing seems to be working well.HELP!
Lisa Tyson One issue could be that the wallpaper was put on new walls or walls that were not painted first. If paper was put right on the wall, it will be difficult to take down. If it comes down to being really a big pain of taking it off, then just mud the seams and fix an unlevel spots and prime over it first then paint. You won't ever know there was wallpaper there. I am sorry but if you have tried all those things and it is not coming off, there is nothing else to do besides work very hard at taking it off or paint over it. Sorry thats not the answer you were looking for.
Lisa Tyson I have the same problem with the boarder that was up about 15 years. It was no problem with the boarder but the backing did the same with me. It only came off in pieces.
CatherineGirl24 sorry to hear that, sometimes you will run into walls like that.
i'll start removing thr wallpaper i got on my bedroom since i dont like that much. that's one of the reasons i was looking for tips about how to remove it.
and hopefully tomorrow everything will workout fine just like on your video. thanks for that man. take care.
You are welcome!
