Advice

  • If your wallpapers are difficult to remove, use liquid conditioner in hot water and soak the wallpaper with a sponge.
  • For vinyl wallpapers: try to separate the vinyl layer from the adhesive layer using a putty knife. Then with the sponge, soak the adhesive layer with water and conditioner.
  • Start at the bottom and go up, don't start at the center of the wall.
