How To Remove Wall Murals Fast!


That's great, because stripping off the old, dated wallpaper is almost always better than leaving it on and trying to apply a new covering over the top, though it can be done.

In this article I'm going to share with you my time-tested tips for how to remove wallpaper quickly.

How To Remove 'Strippable' Wallpaper:

Your wall may or may not have strippable wallpaper on it. Most stripplable wallpaper looks like vinyl with a fabric backing. However, the only way to find out if it is strippable is to try and peel it off.

Here's what you should do...

Lift up an inconspicuous corner of the wallpaper with a utility knife and keeping as close to the wall as possible, pull the paper down the wall vertically. Make sure you pull straight down and not away from the wall as this will reduce the chance of the wallpaper tearing.

If the wallpaper is indeed stripable, it should peel off quite neatly by only applying a moderate pressure. If it doesn't, the wallpaper is probably non-strippable in which case you will either need to use the soak, steam or dry strip methods.

If the wallpaper is peeling away, then continue with the method I've just layed out for you.

Most wallpapers are applied in vertical strips, so make sure you work from top to bottom and remember to stay as close to the wall as possible as it is much easier and neater to peel the wallpaper off in once piece.

How To Remove Non-Strippable Wallpaper:

The best method for how to remove wallpaper that you can strip down is to use the steaming method.

Many tool rental and wallpaper outlets rent electrical steamers to DIY home remodellers.
