To effectively remove old wallpaper, you can follow these steps:
-
Start by wetting the wallpaper with a solution of warm water and a wallpaper removal solvent. This will help loosen the adhesive.
-
Use a wallpaper scraper or putty knife to gently peel off the wet wallpaper. Start at a corner and work your way across the wall.
-
If the wallpaper is stubborn, you may need to score it with a wallpaper scoring tool before applying the water and solvent solution.
-
Once the wallpaper is removed, wash the walls with a mixture of water and mild detergent to remove any remaining adhesive residue.
-
Finally, rinse the walls with clean water and allow them to dry completely before painting or applying new wallpaper.
By following these steps, you can effectively remove old wallpaper and prepare your walls for a fresh new look.
