Hi, Dianne! If you can rent or buy a steamer, that is what did the trick for me! It peeled right off with the steam! Best of luck with your project!

I’m going on 71 years old in April 2018 and would like to know the easiest way to accomplish this task! Thank you for any good suggestions!

I have removed a great amount of wallpaper using white vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray it on, wait 15-20 minutes, depending on how thick the paper is; and then use a putty knife or similar tool to loosen it. Sometimes it comes off in big sheets, other times you have to spray it again, but overall a pretty easy way to do it.

Hi Taylor! I’ve never worked with that typ of wallpaper before so I’m not totally sure, but the steamer is excellent at removing wallpaper so it’s worth a try! ~Abby =)

Did you have to sand the walls before painting? What do you have to do between removing the wallpaper and painting it?? Just bought a house and the bathroom has ugly blue tile wallpaper (not actual blue tile… Just wallpaper that looks like blue tile. really?) and it has got to go! It’s very slick/soft unlike regular wallpaper. Do you think it will come off the same way as regular wallpaper?

Hi, Melinda! I know you can rent a machine at some of the home improvement stores if you’re only going to need it once. I’ve removed a wallpaper border using the steam from an iron before, so you could try that. (Though if you’re wallpaper is stubborn like mine was in this project, it still may take a little while.) There are also wallpaper scoring tools you can buy, which put holes in the wallpaper, and then I’ve heard of people using a solution of water and fabric softener to wipe down the wall, which loosens the wallpaper glue. The machine would definitely be the easiest, though, if you can find somewhere to rent one. I hope this helps!

Our new house has only one small room that’s papered, and since I’m never ever going to wallpaper, ever, I’d rather not spend money to buy a machine I’m only going to use once.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
