It's always easy until there's 3 more layers behind the wallpaper.
yeah i’m struggling a bit myself🤣
I just happened to see this. OMG. I was prepping a rental, the bedrooms had SEVEN LAYERS OF WALLPAPER. I still have nightmares
🤣
For real.. I‘m removing wallpaper in my old ass house rn and there‘s literally AT LEAST 4 different types of wallpaper in some rooms 😭 And all that on plaster. I‘m already so over it and I haven‘t even finished a single room.
@@MeMyselfAndI1732 Plaster makes it way more harder. Good luck with that. It takes time... 👍
I just removed some wallpaper in my house that was applied in the '70s. The brittle old top layer in my house was a bit tougher to remove than what you showed, but it was still much easier than all of my friends and family made it out to be. (Edit: There were even parts where wallpaper was on top of more wallpaper.) Thanks for the great tips!
This is my exact situation! Very old wallpaper in the bathroom and kitchen of my house. Thanks for the heads up on how it may be a little more tougher but still doable!
I was watching your videos before and i enjoyed them.
Now I am in the process of buying my first house that was built in 1963 without any renovations whatsoever, when i saw the wallpapers during my visit, i remembered your DIY videos and I will try to do some of the works myself and save money, hopefully. So, thank you for sharing your skills, tricks, and knowledge, keep up the great work.
Hey Jeff you are absolutely right! Removing wallpaper is very tricky. Tricks of the trade. Soak the wall several times with hot hot water. Steamers don’t work! Drop cloths on the floor to absorb the water. You probably used a STIFF putty knife to avoid-gouging the wall. Friendly tip when installing wallpaper make sure to apply a sizing or a sealer. You won’t be ripping off drywall when it comes time to remove the wallpaper. If you get a moment can you do a short video demonstrating the gooseneck paint brush. I have been featured twice in Professional painters magazine in Toronto and once in the Sherwin Williams in North America. I am a self taught professional/expert painter. I am also known as a paint problem problems Kind Regards! Don
Came back to THANK YOU immensely! I removed decades old wallpaper (VERY well put on) so nicely that my contractor, painter and sister 🤭 were impressed. It was my first time and I credit you and this video for showing me how. Thanks!
Happy to hear you had success. Cheers!
Painter from the UK here, just want to say thanks! Was struggling with a steamer and scraper for 2 hours and managed to strip a quarter of the wall. Took a break and found your video, finished the whole wall in about 30 minutes. As easy as slicing turkey. Thanks again, and happy thanksgiving 🦃
Cheers!
Shame on you🤭🤭🤭🤭you’re from the uk where this is prominent and you’re a tradie and cross to USA for help ??🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭 coooome on evenbi knew wet the walls and it falls off
You are a painter for a living and don’t have common sense 😂 obviously the steamer ain’t gonna work over the original wallpaper
Your are a god send! I was almost in tears and couldn’t imagine how to get the wallpaper off. Took a break and decided to look on RUclips for any tips…lo and behold..I found this. I finished the whole wall in 30 mins. Thank you! 😅
Glad I could help!
What did you apply on the wall to soften the wallpaper
@@ElemideAyomide-kj4db water
@@ElemideAyomide-kj4db He soaked the sponge in water after he removed the outer layer and simply put water on the wall (a few passes).
@@ElemideAyomide-kj4db I did mine today and I developed a good technique for myself and it worked a treat. After an hour I got quite proficient at it.
Paperhanger here, and this is exactly how I was taught. Of course there are different materials out there, but if you have a paper wallpaper, this is the way to go. We'll usually add a bit of soap which keeps it from drying out quickly. Since most wallpaper adhesives are water-based, you can use this to wipe down your walls if you don't plan on installing wallpaper again.
Now last week we had a removal which didn't go as planned, the existing wallpaper was installed with a glue that was not water-based, and no amount of soaking it would soften it enough to remove it easily. We primed over the wallpaper, and the parts that were not glued down well bubbled up. We just cut them out, and skimmed the wall. A fresh coat of primer and it was ready to go.
If you plan on putting up any wallpaper, do your future self a favor and make sure the wall is prepped correctly, with a good wallpaper primer, and ask for a "strippable" adhesive. In the future when it's time to remove it'll make your life a whole lot easier. If you hire a wallpaper hanger, not all of them will make sure the wall is primed. If you can paint, consider priming the walls yourself before they get there to make sure it's done right.
What other things do you need to remove them softly
People also need to know that it’s good to use an oil based primer to go over your walls after you remove your wall paper to keep your future layers of paint from bubbling from leftover adhesive residue.

Yeah i had to use a steam. The wallpaper in this video wasn't the same. So I used the scorning tool and steam. Cane off easy though. Took time but it worked
Thanks Jeff!
Always pays to consult with your channel before tackling any job, even when I think I know what I’m doing. Often some new tip to learn. I just stripped wallpaper out of a closet that had been there for over 40 years. The back wall had one layer, the side walls had two layers, with a very brittle top layer. Your method worked like a charm on the single layer as I was able to strip the face off fairly easily. From there it was a breeze. For the wall with two layers I had to use the perforation tool and one application of DIF spray gel in order to get the top layer to peel. I’ve used the perforator successfully in the past without affecting the drywall at all. As it only takes minimal pressure to score the paper, the key is to only apply enough pressure to keep the tool in contact with the wall, that does the trick. Learned the hard way the first time I used it, pressed too hard and did slightly perforate the paper layer of the drywall.
Bar none this is the BEST video on removing wallpaper. I did exactly what he said and did and it worked PERFECTLY. I has saved me a ton of time not having to repair the walls.
I just came back to thank you again. I have just managed to take the wall paper off a feature wall in my new house. It was much easier after watching your video. After wetting it, it was quite satisfying really. Once again a big THANK YOU. Now subscribed to your channel! xx
Stay at home dog mom here, and the house we bought 2 years ago... EVERY room is wallpapered. I've done two of the 3 bathrooms and I'm going to do the kitchen next. This is a huge help. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
*also thank you to the cameraperson
Thank you so much, as a fist gen homeowner this is gold. There's so much value in what you do for people like me. Thanks Jeff ❤
This has been a great help to me. I am removing wallpaper from every room of what was my parents house. This paper was put up probably 30 years ago. Once finished pulling the paper, the backing paper and glue, I plan on painting the walls versus new wallpaper. Thank you so much for all the helpful tips!
How did this go for you? Just brought my first house and it has awful wall paper everywhere that needs removingn
@@kdote398same
How satisfying to peel off that adhesive layer with ease! Wish I saw this video before I bought that circular tool, but funny, we used it only for one small section, as the painted-over wallpaper peeled off easily! I think the adhesive deteriorated over 14 years, but we were so relieved to use only water & scraper, like in your video.
Just tried this on my plaster walls with the tool you recommended, and it was so easy and quick! Thank you for sharing.
Just an AWESOME video and explanation with all the little details regarding variations in walls and paints. I'm doing this tonight to make the wife happy in the bathroom. This is just EXACTLY what I was looking for and needed. Utility knife, sponge, water, and a wide putty knife. Today I was this many years old and I learned...
Second time I’ve had to remove wallpaper in all my DIY years. I used the knife method this time, so much easier. Watching this video saved me a lot of time and effort, thanks!
Thank You! I bought and used the stupid circular scoring tool on one wall before realizing all I was making was a mess. Your method is easy and will save me a lot of time repairing the marks left by the scorer on the remaining walls. Truly, thanks!
Wow, I was whipping out the steamer when I decided to check the Tuber for a better way. Thank you for posting this and being a pro! Saved me a bunch of extra work and my wallpaper removal worked just as you described....just appreciate all the pro advise you've given on many of my DIY projects!
GOD BLESS YOU!! Seriously was trying with steam and it wasn’t working to remove the wallpaper, then I watched you video!! Got it all taken down so much easier and faster!! Thank you so much!!
Absolutely brilliant. There are other videos out there about using a wallpaper steamer and other methods. But this is the simplest by a country mile.
Thank you so very much! I literally watched your video and then removed 20 year old wall paper. I have almost 0 diy experience, and it went really well. Thank you for making it possible! I really appreciate it.
Perfect - VERY timely video!! I’m about to tackle wallpaper in a bathroom remodel! THANKS!!! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!
Did exactly what you showed and it worked perfectly. What a high time saver. Thanks man!
I just purchased a well built older home with tons of 1980 wallpaper. I pray that the process of removing the wallpaper is this easy! Thank you for your video.
You are my favorite person and thank you for this video! I'm learning so much from your videos and very anxious to work on my house because of you. Thank you!!
Just used this method today. Worked just as he described! Very satisfied with the results. Took about 4 hrs to do my entire dining room.
Thank you so much for this video!!! Not only did you save us from spending unnecessary money but, a ton of work. I can't believe this worked. I'm beyond thankful!
Jeff. We bought a house from the late 80s. The entire house was wallpapered but the bathrooms have been the hardest and it's taken me 2 months of weekends to get it off. This worked. Thank you so much. - A fellow Ottawa resident. :)
I've never removed wallpaper before and was about to do it the hard way but found this video, thanks for saving me hours of time!
Excellent Jeff, really appreciate your vast knowledge and experience with my home renovation. Looking forward to getting my walls transformed.
You're always showing me an easy way to do something that's on my to-do list that I didn't tell anyone about. Thanks for continuing to put these out there for those of us really wanting to tackle our home projects. And BTW... that soundproofing video you did was pretty awesome too.
The frustration of it is I’ll come across a video that fixes an issue I’ve already “fixed” and his method is significantly easier, quicker, less messy, more affordable or all of the above and I’m sat there like AAAAAAARRRGGHHHHHHH. Lol. Great stuff.
THANK YOU ,
THANK YOU ,
and one more for the road, THANK YOU!
I have an older house and removing the pasted wallpaper was depressing and I was just about to give up and then I found your video and I want to say that removing that stubborn paper was like cutting through soft butter. Thank you so much! You definitely have a new subscriber!
Thank you so much for this video! We took out some cupboards and found old wallpaper. Your video made getting rid of it super easy. Thank you from Australia 🇦🇺
About two years ago I asked if you had a video to remove wall paper and you shared that one would be coming soon. Thank you!
Very grateful for this video!!! We had been putting off taking down some wallpaper because of the big job it implied. We tried this method and it worked really well worked for us. Thank you!
Excellent information Jeff! I appreciate you letting people know that the ease of your removal process depends highly on the different factors like the type of substrate, how the substrate was prepared, the type of wallpaper adhesive, how many layers of paper and if the paper has been painted over. I've removed a ton of commercial wallpaper and every wall is a little bit different and might be faster with a different technique. The technique you use in this video I call the dry scrap method. Dry scrap works very with vinyl faced wallpaper and vinyl faced fabric but not so well with paper faced wallpaper. With paper faced wallpaper I would recommend sanding the face of the paper with 60-80grit sandpaper on a random orbit sander to open up the pores of the paper to accept water similar to the scouring tool but easier on your arm and easier on the wall. Then I'd recommend vacuuming up the paper dust, taping the baseboards and putting towels down, get a garden style pump sprayer and and spray down the wall with the hottest water that comes out of your tap wait 10 mins and spray again.
L.p.
Thank u for ur info. I just bought a house that was built 1958 and the wall paper is not coming off as easily as Jeff mentions. I have spent 5 hours in my bathroom and I have only peeled 1/3 of it very frustrating. I will try ur technique and ur right not every wall paper is the same.
so u never use a steamer? i have 2 layers of wallpaper. one vynal, one paper underneath and the wallpaper sits on untreated dry wall (they never painted or preped it for wallpaper) what do u reomcend to do?
@@randomrazr All wallpaper comes off differently. If the top layer is vinyl I would try peeling the vinyl off sometimes you get lucky and it will peel off in large sheets. If you're not lucky I would recommend using a random orbit sander with 50grit paper to scour the vinyl so that the water will penetrate the paper behind the vinyl.
After you use the sander spray down the paper with hot tap water in a garden sprayer. Wait 10 mins then spray again. Then start Scraping the paper I like a 6inch drywall knife. After all paper is removed clean walls of excess glue with a green Scotch Brite sponge and water until walls are free off as much glue as possible. Then you can make any drywall repairs and paint.
You are amazing! We had a so-called handy man come in, and he destroyed our bathroom wall when he scraped and made tiny holes on our wall. I just did what you did with the the box cutter and was smmothly able to peel some of the wallpaper. I had a bad feeling of that guy the first time when he tried to fix our door but needed me. No one listened to me. Thank you for your knowledge. Now i know i can do this myself if the need be and what to look out for.
I was about to go to the store to get some wallpaper remover chemical spray and came across your easy diy video! Didn't realize we can remove it with just sponge and putty knife! Thank you so much!
Omg!!! I tried this and it’s so easier than a wallpaper stripper machine. Took me an hour and less effort. Thank you very much !!
Love your videos. Thank you SO MUCH for helping me with my house. Also, that moment when the whole piece of the paper layer came off was absolutely so satisfying.
I had a wallpaper border that needed to be taken off. I watched this video and thought ok I'll try it. I am not one to make testimonials but it worked just as Jeff said. It was very easily removed! Thank you Jeff!
Cheers John! appreciate you commenting!
I found your video and want to say thank you so much for your help! My first layer did not come off quite that easy but with a bit of water it wasn’t too bad.
now I feel more confident to remove my wallpaper after watching your video. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
I love your videos and whenever I have a project I always check your videos before I do anything. thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you so much! I just used this method to remove the hideous wallpaper in my living room. Worked a charm.
I respect you immensely. You got lucky on that removal. The best way to do it I found and I've been doing this for 30 years is the paper tiger and the dif. If you know what you're doing that's the way to go
I followed this technique and it worked very well. Thanks for the tips!
Just bought my first house. Wallpaper is OG from build. Can’t wait to try it your way and do it easy the first time :)
Thank you for your video. I had been watching all these other ways to remove wallpaper that were preventing me from tacking this project. I used your way and it took me a short amount of time. Note - our wallpaper was only about 7 years old.
As a contractor and carpenter 30+yrs excellent video. Sometimes even pros forget things we learned 15/20 years ago. Most of the bathroom remodels we do it's demo to bare studs for plumbing/ electric/insulation. Then tile over new durarock or whatever is the newest product. Crazy the last 7yrs how many new systems have come out.. thanks again.
So incredibly helpful. I’m excited to tackle my own wallpaper project!
I just bought a house and did as you said, and it just came off easily. Thank you!!
Perfect timing again. I have a very old paper wall to deal with in a rental. Thanks!
OMG i did exactly what you said, and it worked perfect!! Thank you for your expertise.
Love this video and this man... He explains things so I can understand...Can't wait to get the wallpaper off and see his other videos.
Awesome man, worked for me with only three coats of water. Really came off easy and did not compromise the texture underneath of it which would have added a lot more work to the job
You have no idea the time you saved me. I was taking down over 30 year old wallpaper and border. I was getting so discouraged, I was using steam. I soaked down the paper with a mop (didn't have a sponge) and went to town. THANK YOU!!!!!
Happy to help. Cheers!
Just stripped off all my kitchen wallpaper using this method. Very easy, it really works. I put washing up liquid in the water too for extra penetration and used a spray bottle as well as the sponge.
I rented a steamer from Home Depot and Started to remove the old wall paper in a small bathroom. The tile people were coming that day. I soon realized that that option was not working. I went to RUclips and found your video. In less than 2 hours I removed all the paper and paper backing, wiped it down, and had it ready for the tile guys. I could not have completed the job in time with the steamer and the paper tiger. I think you saved me at least a day. The paper was strippable but it left a backing that had to be removed before tiling. Thanks, Jeff. Jim Allegretti
By following your advice, I was able to remove sheets of wallpaper without damaging the walls. I live in an apartment where no decorating is allowed so showing me how to do it right is appreciated. Thank you.
My least favorite house project was 5 layers of paint then wallpaper then paint then a few double layers of wall paper. I bought a steamer that you hold onto the wall and it melted off. All the layers. But it was still grueling. Love watching your videos. Extremely helpful! Thank you from 🇺🇸
That’s a great idea. I’ll try the steamer on my little project. Thx
Funny story: I tried your method and was less than impressed. There was a lot more scraping involved on the first wall than your video led me to expect but, in for a penny, in for a pound and I soldiered on. It was several days before I tried again due to a shoulder injury and I was afraid the scraping would be painful. I started the second wall and immediately noticed a huge difference. This time I could peel off the backing in sheets, almost no scraping required! 😳
It turns out the wall I started with hadn't been painted so I was scraping the backing off textured drywall but the other walls had been painted before the wallpaper was hung so your method worked great! Thanks for taking the time to post a video that saved me time and money 😊 (plus it's so satisfying!!)
This is exactly what I did to remove wallpaper from my walls last weekend. I was dreading starting it since it was 20 yr old paper, but it surprised me how easily it came off.
Ditto. I thought it would take me all day, I got the kitchen wallpaper removed in 2 hours and an hour or less to clean up. This worked like a charm for me.
yep, usually if the wallpaper has been up for 20 years it will come off a lot easier compared to if it was newly wallpapered
Jeff, I have a 1948 house with plaster walls. Have spent SO much time getting wallpaper down. This is helpful. But what do you do with plaster walls? You didn't really go into that... Would love some ideas. The other issue we have is once we get the outer decorative layer off, then the paper behind it, the wall is covered in glue and you can't paint it until you get that glue off. It's been so tedious. Any tips?

I’ve been a professional wallcovering installer for over 25 years. Wallpaper removal all depends on what kind of preparation was done for the previous installation, wall condition and what kind of material was used.
Chris, would appreciate your recommendations to remove very old (35+yrs.) vinyl wallpaper on masonry walls.
Gxg cry
I am also a Installer, and this video is so simplistic and idealistic, I am almost beyond words. Try to do this with clay based adhesive or if you just can't pull off a corner.
I just finished a project where it took me 4 hours to soak the paper and after removing the paper another 4 hours of scraping and removing the glue. This was a small foyer mind you.
I scored the wallpaper too.
If I didn't, I would have needed twice as much hot water shot thru a sprayer.
I listened to this video and I want to invite him over to my project and let him show me how smart he really is. I would enjoy a good laugh.
@@bernardzsikla5640 Yup I'm removing old wallpaper in a large room and I've been at it for days... No amount of water makes it as easy as the video since I have to take several passes to remove the rest of the glue residue. It's such a pain I've almost considered just ripping out the wall and putting up new drywall lol
@@brockbah2048 I used to use coarse steel wool to remove the residue adhesive. I don't know why I didn't remember that when I was removing the wallpaper last week!
Thank you! I saw all these videos listing 10 products & 8 different tools, but then I found yours - and it's working like a charm. I really appreciate skipping the chemicals and unnecessary "special" equipment to tackle a problem the simplest way first.
You, sir, are a sorcerer! Thank you so much for sharing your vast wealth of knowledge. You just saved me so many unnecessary hours of work.
Cheers, happy to be of help!
Yes! I did this last year and situations will vary depending on how quality of a job the installer did. I had to use a steamer, wallpaper remover liquid and a sponge to scrub the glue off. HI!!!
Can't say it enough sir.. You are one of the best on the net
So many great tips here. Thank you, you have made this process SO much easier, and chemical-free!
Glad it was helpful!
Worked perfectly thanks! The extra layers of water / dampening the under paper worked a treat
Excellent! Happy to help!
Perforating and using a spray solution is definitely the way to go on plaster. The face comes off easy if dry, but the backer doesn't. Perforating and spraying brings both layers off at the same time when using a scraper.
Hey, Jeff! New subscriber here. I was searching the web for a "how to" for wallpaper removal. I've done it in the past and fought the removal every inch of the way. Thankfully, I found your channel and this popped up. Sure is easier to do it this way. My only issue was that the wallpaper (vinyl coated) has been up for 35 years. It didn't strip as nicely as your demo, but removing the paper backing from the wall went really well. Thanks for all you do to help the DIY folks out here.
You've made it look so easy. My wallpaper was installed 40 years ago. We tried to take half-bath wallpaper off using DIF and paper tiger. We have a mess as far as having 3 layers on wall. We still have to remove the second layer of wallpaper in some spots without removing top layer of wallboard. We are going to tackle kitchen this weekend. Since we've already scored it, should we expect to have small portions to strip off even if we reset over and over and wait longer? The DIF said to wait 2-5 minutes, I think.😖 we didn't wait long enough. We can try hot water and see. Also, we bought a wallpaper scraper when we should have bought one like yours
I was just about to get a steamer to remove paper wallpaper. Then when you showed this, I thought to give it a try your way first to potentially save money on rental. My 11years wallpaper actually came out in one piece also together with the back glued side too :). Only several small pieces of the back side was on the wall, so I sprayed it and it went like a margarine off of the wall. 20mins work and no money spent. Thank you ever so much!!!! :)
Thank you so much for the tutorial. Just finished removed my wall paper it really made jod easy. God bless you🙏
I done this and it was incredible! Zero mess and so satisfying just peeling that stuff off with ease! Wow! 🎉
I saw this video today at 1-30 pm, I was at the shop and home again with the spatulas and sponges and drop sheet. 5 minutes later I have 10 square feet of backing paper off. Many thanks for this great viodeo, It has saved me so much anguish.
Doing it right now. Works like a charm :) Thank you
THANK YOU. perfect information and so very truthful, no-nonsense instructions.Thank you
Thank you very much sharing your How To Remove Wallpaper skill!!!❤👍
Excellent presentation. Thank you very much. Very clear and informative.
Just today, I was considering getting a wallpaper cutting thingy- I'm so glad I watched this.
Spray fabric softener on your wall before you steam it and it will literally fall off the wall. You barely even have to scrape
Doing a paintjob on a house and it has a couple areas of original wallpaper. I hope this method makes it as easy as it was for you. I peeled one section off to get an idea of what it would do and the face peels right off like it did for you and the walls are in great shape. Thanks for sharing, hope this makes tomorrow smooth as glass lol
Cheers Tyler!
This method is the best. It’s how I remove wallpaper as well and I tried everything. Definite key is to remove that first layer
Thank you for sharing your talents, it was helpful and easy to follow your directions 👍🏽
Wow I really need to remember this and this is why I always listening your channel at each video just for learning.
I start a facelift for my bathroom that had 20 yr old wallpaper on it
The drywall was bare behind it, never primed. I used the same technique with a wet sponge. One pass, and the backing paper came right off. I used a 10 inch scraper also. So great point as usual.
Thank you so much, your information is perfect! I got the job done quick and easy. Thank you again,
Parents just closed on a house not long ago. The house has wallpaper in almost every room. Even the bathrooms have it. Can believe there are so many ways to remove wallpaper w/out chemicals. Can't wait to start removing and seeing what's behind it.
I used fabric softener in my water... Not sure if it helped but it made the room smell fantastic!!
thanks for the tip on plaster walls. Will check now before tackling.
Good idea. Thanks for sharing....I can use this in a few weeks going to be removing old paper in bedroom and added new ...👍😉
Your videos have been very helpful to me I have done a lot of DYI task and your videos have been very very helpful
oh man, i wish i saw this as my first how-to-remove wall papaer video! Great tips!!!
Jeff, you are my favorite!! This was so helpful!!
This video was so helpful, thank you! It worked like a charm.
Thank you! I love your channel, I'm remodeling my mom's house it has some 1970 wallpaper.
Spray fabric softener on before steaming and it will come right off! Worked on our 1970's wallpaper like a charm
So helpful! So many of your videos! Thank you for this!!
