11 Ways for Stripping Wallpaper: How to Get Rid of Ugly Wallpaper!

Posted in Home.

I broke my promise to myself and stripped wallpaper again. The only reason I did this is for $100,000 profit. My family and I did not have time to wait for professional help. We sold our investment property before finishing the work and needed the home ready for appraisal.

While stripping the wallpaper, I realized that many homemakers get wrong advice for this horrendous task. After years of experience on over 30 houses, I offer my tried and best tips:

  1. Use a clothes steamer or rent a professional steamer;
  2. Soak a large section of the wall;
  3. Run a “Paper Tiger” scoring tool across the damp section;
  4. Steam the section again;
  5. Spray the section with fabric softener and hot water;
  6. Score the section with the paper tiger again;
  7. Steam again;
  8. Remove any curling edges (sometimes large areas peel off);
  9. Scrape with a six inch sheetrock blade;
  10. Repeat the above steps on the section until most scrapes off easily;
  11. Scrub with hot water, TSP, and a sponge with a scratchy surface.

Cautions: Use the Paper Tiger gingerly so you don’t scratch or gouge the walls. Use gloves with the harsh chemical TSP.

Don’t live with ugly wallpaper any longer!
