Do I need to use wallpaper stripper on peel and stick wallpaper?

• <div><p>The simple nature of peel and stick wallpaper means it should come off much more easily than traditional wallpaper that is glued to your walls. You’ll still want to work slowly and carefully to avoid tearing it, but most peel and stick wallpaper should come off without a chemical agent to loosen it.</p></div>

Should I wallpaper over old wallpaper?

• <div><p>We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.</p></div>

Q: Will rubbing alcohol remove wallpaper glue?

• <div><p>Rubbing alcohol may help dissolve stubborn wallpaper adhesive that remains after removal, but be sure to apply it carefully to prevent damaging your walls. Apply a small amount using a cotton swab or pad, then gently scrape or wipe the adhesive away. </p></div>

Q: Will peel-and-stick wallpaper damage walls?

• <div><p>For the most part, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-peel-and-stick-wallpaper-damage-walls.htm">peel-and-stick wallpaper doesn't damage walls</a>. However, there may be some cases when damage does occur. For example, if you try to rip the paper off the wall, you may pull away some paint at the same time.</p><p>The walls can also be damaged if they aren't prepared properly before you add the wallpaper. For example, if the coat of paint is too fresh when you put the wallpaper on the walls, it can peel away as you remove the paper. </p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of professional material removal?

• <div><p>Professionals handle heavy lifting, proper disposal, and recycling, reducing environmental impact.</p></div>

The work is good quality and they explained things well. The workers are attentive and easy to understand. Could take more care of disassembling the inside panels of the car when they need to removed them, because they’ve broken some little drawers and captions and stuff.
