Removing Wallpaper

Removing Wallpaper

If you want to remove wallpaper yourself then you need to know kinds of wallpaper and kinds of backing. Also the costs involved. There are two kinds of backing. Peel away and non peel away. It helps you to find out which one you have.

First find a discreet area on the wall and test a small section by gently tearing the wallpaper. If it comes off easily, the paper can be dry-stripped. You can go ahead and rip away.

If not then you need to dissolve the adhesive that’s gluing the wallpaper to the wall. You can also use wallpaper remover, which may take several hours to several days. It’s depending on the backing, room size and any complications that arise. It costs less than hiring a professional. You only have to pay for materials & tools.
