How to Remove Wallpaper

Wallpaper

Cant figure out when was the last time you changed/ removed the wallpaper? And now that you have finally decided to give it a try, you deciphered that you genuinely lack the skill. Here’s how to go about it:

1. Move all your furniture away from the walls and cover them with sheets.

2. Start from any edge of the wallpaper and try to peel it off with your hands or a wallpaper scraper.

3. If the paper doesn’t peel off, or try to slash the paper lightly using a razor blade or a wallpaper-scoring tool. Be careful not to cut into the drywall or plaster underneath.

4. Apply plain water mixed with a mild household soap (generous amount) on the walls using a paint roller, squirt gun or large sponge. Continue the process till the glue loosens and the paper washes off.

5. Wash away as much of the glue as possible, until you are down to the original painted or primed wall. Lastly, when the wall is dry, use some sandpaper to get rid of remaining paper particles.

How to remove patches in the wallpaper

How to remove patches in the wallpaper

So you have opted for wallpapers, rather than painting your walls. Well, wallpapers do serve as one of the finest decorating ideas but, remember, old aged wallpapers are prone to wear and tear. The edges may loosen up and one fine day, you may notice dirty patches occurring in your wallpaper. How to remove the dirty patches? How to fix the tears? Want answers? Read on.

If the tears in the wallpapers are small, they can be re-glued and the tears can become unnoticeable. If you want to re-glue the loose edges of the wallpaper, moisten the area and lift the wallpaper away from the wall. Apply a thin layer of adhesive to the back of the wallpaper. Press the wallpaper back into the place, roll it and then sponge off the extra adhesive.

If the wallpaper is very dirty, test your wallpaper whether it is washable or not. Apply a mild detergent in a small section of the wallpaper. If the patch still looks dirty, replace the wallpaper.   Look for mending kits in the stores. These often include small pieces of various color papers to match most of the walls. Select the piece which matches the pattern of your wallpaper. To fix the small piece, cut a square larger than the existing area which is to be patched. Align the pattern of the small piece and your wallpaper.

Attach the patch on the wall using masking tape. Use a seam roller to smooth it gently and affix it firmly in place.
