Removing wallpaper can be a difficult task at best and most people avoid it if at all possible. What comes to mind is endless hours of peeling tiny bits of paper off the wall with a paint scraper while trying not to destroy your walls in the process. Is there a better way?
OPTIONS FOR REMOVING WALLPAPER
Some may rent a steamer because they’ve heard it makes the process easy and quick. Consider the following:
First, the issue of cost. Unless you own a wallpaper steamer already, you will have to rent it (about $30 a day) or buy an inexpensive DIY unit for about $50.
Next, steamers can be messy and difficult to use. In addition to the wallpaper that has been removed, steamers add a ton of moisture to the room you are working in. nature wallpaper produce steam from hot water so you have to wear protective gloves.
Finally, they might add too much moisture to the wall and actually damage the drywall or plaster if you are not careful.
The truth is, wallpaper removal can be straightforward and simple if you use today’s best practices to accomplish it.
WHAT TYPE OF SURFACE IS THE Garden Wallpaper ?
This is important to know because removing wallpaper means you will be applying moisture that will be absorbed by the wall structure. If the wall is plaster or paneling, they can safely absorb more water than drywall, or gypsum board. Once wet, the paper face of drywall can be easily damaged if extra care is not taken during the wallpaper removal process.
How To Determine If You Have Drywall Or Something Else
The easiest way to see what type of wall structure you have is to remove a light switch or outlet cover on the wall (make sure that the power is turned off first). Once removed, you can count the layers of wallpaper and see if the wall substrate is drywall, plaster, or wood.
GATHER THE RIGHT TOOLS AND Removable Wallpaper

START STRIPPING THE WALLPAPER FROM THE WALLS
Using a specially-formulated liquid wallpaper remover is the most economical method to take down the old paper and eliminate the need for a steamer. The remover does the hard work of heavy scraping – even with multiple layers of wallpaper.
Start Stripping The Wallpaper From The Walls
It is always recommended to start the process with a test area to anticipate any problems.
Using the scoring tool, roll it over an area about 2’ square. Do not apply too much pressure. You only need to score 1 layer at a time.
Spray gel remover over the area, keeping it moist but not soaked.
Allow 15 minutes for the gel to dissolve the old adhesive.
Start at an edge and peel off the old paper. It should come off easily which will give you an idea of how well the paper has adhered to the layers below it. You may find that all the layers come off at the same time. If not, be patient and repeat this process for each layer until you reach the actual wall surface.
Once the test area has been removed, you will have a good idea of how you will need to proceed with the rest of the removal process. Continue scoring, spraying, and scraping until complete.
