Wallpaper Removal � A Quick And Easy How-To A word of warning upfront, if you
have a wallpaper removal task ahead of you�re your in for a bit of work. Make
sure you set aside a considerable amount of time for this project as you may run
into tough spots and problem areas that will eat up a lot of time. Removing
wallpaper however, while not a fun task, can be done quickly and easily if you
are prepared.First get the room ready. Remove everything from the room that can
be removed. This includes furniture and rugs where possible Charlotte Olympia
Thanksgiving. When the room is emptied cover the floor with a drop cloth in
the area you will be working. This will aid in cleanup later.Now get all of your
tools together: � Goggles
� Mask
� Perforator
� Bucket
� Sponge
�
Glue Dissolving Agent
� Blunt Scraper
� Sharp ScraperGoggles and a mask
are on the list first for a good reason. You will have little pieces of who
knows how old paper with who know what kind of glue on it flying and dripping
all over the place. Wear the goggles and the mask whenever you are doing the
least bit of work.I can�t underestimate the importance of the perforator. They
come in a couple styles and sizes. Get the one that is most appropriate to the
amount of paper you have to remove. The perforator is pretty simple to use. With
a slight amount of pressure you roll it around the wall and it makes little
divots into the paper. Be careful not to press to hard as you do not want to dig
into the wall itself.Next is preparing your solution. The commercial products
work well, but I�ve had good results with warm water and vinegar. If you are
going to use the commercial products, be sure to follow their instructions as to
mixture ratios. For the vinegar solution, 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water is
sufficient for most glues. Add more vinegar if you are having difficulties.Ok,
so we�re ready to start soaking the walls. Pick a spot, not to large, and get it
thoroughly wet with your sponge and solution. Some people like to use a sprayer
as well, but I find the sponge and a little pressure works better. Don�t be shy
about wetting the wall. Your solution needs to soak through the paper and loosen
the glue. You may have to repeat this step depending on your situation.Now comes
the scrapping. Use a blunt scrapper or even a putty knife to start with. You
want to avoid nicking or gauging the wall underneath to save the trouble of
spackling later on. Use slow even strokes to remove the paper. If it is loose
enough it will simply melt off the wall huanghaiyan701 More information please

not, wet it again. If you continue to have trouble, you may have to switch to
the sharp scrapper. Be very careful though, of both your fingers and the
wall!Once all the paper if off, you may have to repeat this process to remove
extra paper layers or even a glue layer that may be left behind. You want to get
all the way down to the plaster or drywall. Then, spackle any nicks or holes
smooth, clean up the mess and paint to suit. Oh, and congratulate yourself on a
job well done. Charlotte Olympia Black
