If you decide to glue new wallpaper for the hallway, then you first need to get rid of old wallpaper. “How much repairs do not do, but still the wallpaper to re -paste” – says folk wisdom. And at that very moment, as soon as you decide to cross the wallpaper, a feeling will immediately arise, as if something wrong. Do not worry – it’s completely normal. This is a question that everyone arises – how to tear off those who have dried up to the wall pieces of paper?
Say right away, there is no magic wand in this matter, well, unless of course you plan to use it against the team of negligent repairmen.
There may be a huge number of ways, yet we will dwell on two most accessible in the conditions of meager means.
So, option is one – take a rag and a bowl with a solution in your hands and begin to “wash” the wallpaper. We do it so carefully that the water reaches the wall itself. As a solution, you can use either warm water (if it is generally tight), or water with the addition of detergents or a special solution that loosens the paper. Then, take a spatula and scrap the wallpaper monotonously until your eyes start to close.
Option two is already for major, since it requires the use of stripper (attention! The letter “C” at the beginning of the word is not a typo, but the original correct name). The essence of the device is such that steam bursting from a special opening helps to moisturize and soften the coating, which facilitates the process of removing the wallpaper.
This thing is not cheap, so buying for once it is not entirely appropriate, it is much more profitable to rent, where they will immediately tell you what to do and how to use. True, you can make yourself a gift for an anniversary and confuse it for permanent repairs, but the prospect is quite doubtful.
