What is the easiest way to remove wallpaper?

• <div><p>The easiest way to remove wallpaper is to use a steamer. The hot steam will loosen the wallpaper paste and make peeling the wallpaper off in large sheets much easier. Unfortunately, steamers can create irreparable damage on your walls, so it’s not a good idea for DIYers to use steamers to remove wallpaper. Instead, hire a professional wallpaper remover to do the work for you. This method will not only speed up the process, but it will also ensure your walls will remain intact post-wallpapering.</p></div>

Q: Is removing wallpaper difficult?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wallpaper-removal.htm">Removing wallpaper</a> can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it&rsquo;s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it&rsquo;s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.</p></div>

Q: How do I remove a wallpaper border?

• <div><p>Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.</p></div>

Q: Does peel-and-stick backsplash stay on?

• <div><p>As long as the surface you&rsquo;re putting the tile on is properly prepped, peel-and-stick backsplashes should stay on and last anywhere from 3 to 5 years. The best way to ensure the tile stays on is to sand down and clean the wall before applying your design.</p></div>

Q: How do you remove unused wallpaper paste?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re installing new wallpaper and have leftover glue, you can remove unused wallpaper paste from the bucket or pan it&rsquo;s in by letting it dry. If it&rsquo;s an oil-based paste, seal it in a plastic bag and throw it in the garbage. Otherwise, toss the leftover wallpaper paste in the trash. Although it&rsquo;s water-soluble, don&rsquo;t rinse unused wallpaper paste down the sink because it could dry in the pipes and cause a blockage.</p></div>
