It's been about 10 yrs since I thought it would be a good idea to install some wallpaper. It was pretty for about a year....then steam and age took it's toll. Not the greatest "before" photo, but you get the idea. It was a pretty, floral scene, matching the ceramic floor tile nicely.
Unfortunately, it was also peeling in spots and a little mildew had started to form....
I had never removed wallpaper before - it was obvious that you couldn't just rip it off! I purchased this little devil - you roll it around on the surface and it cuts little holes just in the paper, not in the wallboard.
You just rub it around all over the wall... kindof fun!
Then you squirt this "removal solution" on the paper, letting it soak for 15 minutes. The idea is that the solution gets into the holes you just made in the paper. After lots of spraying and soaking, the paper finally let's loose and peels away nicely.
There you have it - the first panel removed!!
After much hole-making, spraying and soaking - all the paper is now gone. I'll have to do some mildew removal and a little bit of spackling to make it all ready for some nice paint.
