You love your new home. However, the second you laid eyes on the wallpaper in the extra room, you knew it had to go. The day has come, and you want the best way to remove the wallpaper.

Before you begin, get the correct tools, which differ based on the sort of wallpaper you have. Use these tips to aid you in identifying your wallpaper and getting rid of easily.

Removing Wallpaper Tools
Regardless of what wallpaper type is in your house, you must have old towels and plastic drop cloths for a successful job:

Removing Wallpaper Types
Besides basic supplies, the tools used for getting wallpaper varies based on what type you have.

Strippable Wallpaper
Everyone knows that removing wallpaper is a headache. Luckily, manufacturers created this in recent years, so new wallpaper is simple to remove and strippable. If you know the wallpaper in question was installed in the last few years, you might be in luck.

All you’re required to have to take down strippable wallpaper is a ladder to assist you in reaching high spots as well as a razor knife in case the wallpaper is stuck. Otherwise, your hands are all you need to remove your wallpaper.

Peelable Wallpaper
Peelable wallpaper has a vinyl topcoat that typically comes off just like strippable wallpaper. Once you take it off, only the backing is left.

The following is required to remove peelable wallpaper:
  • Liquid stripper concentrate
  • Broad brush or sprayer
  • Plastic scraper
  • A Scoring tool or coarse sandpaper

Washable Wallpaper
Washable wallpaper has a plastic film that doesn’t come off easily. For this task, the following tools are required:
  • Scoring tool
  • Pump sprayer or spray bottle
  • Putty knife

Removing Wallpaper with Steam
Older washable or peelable wallpaper might necessitate steam-stripping. Fortunately, you can rent a wallpaper steamer instead of buying one to keep the cost low.
​
Professional Wallpaper Removal
Removing wallpaper can take days, especially if you have more than one room to remove wallpaper out of. If you don’t have the time or patience, arrange wallpaper removal service with an interior painting professional. After the wallpaper is stripped from your walls, a new coat of paint can be applied to finish the job. ​
