How to Strip Wallpaper
By Jeanette Joy
Fisher
Home buyers prefer their own choice of wallpaper. Also, many wallpapers make
homes appear cluttered and sometimes even smaller! Take a good look at your
wallpaper or have an impartial expert take a look at it. (You can email me a
picture for my feedback.
Email Jeanette Fisher.)
If you decide to strip your wallpaper, here
are my tips from many horrendous jobs.
1. Use a clothes steamer or rent a professional steamer.
2. Soak a large section of the wall.
3. Run a "Paper Tiger" scoring tool across the damp section.
4. Steam the section again.
5. Spray the section with fabric softener and hot water.
6. Score the section with the paper tiger again.
7. Steam again.
8. Remove any curling edges (sometimes large areas peel off).
9. Scrape with a six inch sheetrock blade.
10. Repeat the above steps on the section until most scrapes off easily.
11. Scrub with hot water, TSP, and a sponge with a scratchy surface.
Cautions: Use the Paper Tiger gingerly so you don't scratch or gouge the
walls. Use gloves with the harsh chemical TSP.
Don't wait to prepare your home for sale. Strip that wallpaper
off and paint!
P. S. Please email me if you have any additional tips on stripping wallpaper
that would help others!
