What’s the best way to remove wallpaper from the 1940’s from a plaster wall?
I would like to remove some ugly old wallpaper and repaint. I’m afraid to paint over the wallpaper, I’d rather strip it that risk having it bubble and mess with the removal process later. I tried DIF on a different wall, and it only worked because of the shear amount of pressure I used and it took forever. Is there any products that can remove the old style wallpaper and adhesives from plaster walls easily? This wallpaper is still well attached with only very minimal peeling along the seems.
I would second renting a steamer .
Also tried the dif method with the roller to poke holes and then the dif to soften/loosen up the wallapaper. It worked ok but took forever and was very messy.
The steamer is probably the fastest and safest for your walls cause if your going to paint you don’t want little nicks
any other way u have to use a scraper and water will be useful to
Use a steamer, it’ll soften the adhesive and make it much easier, will be less dmaging toi the wall than scrapers too.
FAIRY LIQUID IN A BUCKET OF WARM WATER SOAK N REPEAT THEN STRIP
