HOW TO REMOVE THE WALLPAPER FROM THE PLASTERBOARD
Are you tired of your old wallpaper?
Do you want to renew the style of your rooms?
Below is a brief guide to removing wallpaper from drywall.
Fast guide
- Always start tearing the paper where you see a ruined flap or where you find any sagging. This will facilitate the removal operations;
- Continue with the work of detaching the old paper using a wet sponge and soaking the wallpaper. As the latter detaches itself from the wall, it continues to pull it away with your hands;
- While performing these activities, you can use a vaporizer placed near the wall to make large pieces of paper come loose and not many small pieces;
- After removing the old wallpaper, let the wall dry well and then remove the residues with a wet spatula;
- Proceed with the grinder and sandpaper to eliminate any protuberances from the wall and fill the holes and cracks created with putty;
- Check that the wall is perfectly smooth and free of imperfections;
- Now let it dry and you are ready to put your new wallpaper on the plasterboard wall.
Advice
- If the wallpaper is difficult to remove, use liquid soap in hot water and wet the paper very well with a sponge;
- Never start the removal work from the center but always start either from the bottom or from the top;
- Carefully place plastic sheets at the base of the wall to collect any dripping liquids and paper scraps.
ATTENTION: as this type of intervention is very delicate, the advice is to contact a highly specialized company that can help you.
