Re: Wall Paper Removal. Best way ???
Well it was only £20 and I will have 2 bedrooms to do shortly as well no doubt - so I reckon it's worth buying one. Now off to read the instructions!

I never rewallpaper.I've been painting all my anagilpta walls for thirty years.When I get bored I just pick a different colour.Heaven help who ever comes to redecorate after I leave this house.  They will need a flame thrower 
Incog.

I have just heard from a reliable source that there are 3 Essex girls getting all stripped off and steamy in one room in Rainham.
Any volunteers to mop their foreheads?

Re: Wall Paper Removal. Best way ???
although I like the above fresh ideas there are alternative ways of taking wall papers out,
when i was repairing my house i thpught I'd get a steamer cause it is cheap and efficient but it turned out to be realy time consuming and it didnt work everywhere, Instead you can use scorer to make tiny slots throughout the paper and then use glue dissolvant to help you take the papers out in huge chunks, easy and quick ckeck this out - http://www.wallwik.co.uk/

5 years later means it's probably time to redecorate again

Re: Wall Paper Removal. Best way?
My favourite way to strip wallpaper off, is to pay some one else to do it!!!

Any idea on this and any other method to use.
Kind regards

Score it with a blade then paint sugar soap all over the paper, leave it for an hour then the paper will fall off with the little help from a scraper.

Re: Wall Paper Removal. Best way?
Seriously.....if the OP hasn't gotten the paper removed by now they've probably got larger problems.
This thread is 5 years old!!!
