Easily remove wallpaper from your walls by applying a simple stripping solution to loosen the adhesive.
Homemade Wallpaper Remover Solutions
You can create effective wallpaper remover solutions using common household items and hot water. Based on one method, you can try mixing your own solutions:
- Vinegar Solution: Combine 1/3 vinegar with 2/3 hot water.
- Fabric Softener Solution: Combine 1/4 fabric softener with 3/4 hot water.
Ensure the water is hot, as this helps the solution penetrate the wallpaper and adhesive more effectively.
Application Process
Applying the solution correctly is key to successful wallpaper removal.
- Use a sponge or spray bottle to apply the chosen solution generously to the wallpaper surface.
- Begin application at the top of the wall and work your way downwards. Applying from the top allows the solution to trickle down, keeping the entire section moist and giving the solution time to soak in.
- Let the solution sit for several minutes to properly soak into the paper and loosen the glue underneath.
- Once the wallpaper appears soft and loose, you can begin gently scraping it off.
Applying these homemade solutions systematically can help you effectively remove wallpaper from your house.
