Thank you so much for sharing this video. I was having a really tough job using a steam stripper to remove old wallpaper, which ended up causing some of the plaster underneath to 'blow'. Using the water method, leaving the water to soak in and then stripping it with a hand tool, made a huge difference -- much easier and quicker.

I had a bugger of a job getting the wallpaper off in my 1930’s bungalow. Most of the rooms had been wallpapered many years ago before we bought the place, the trouble was the original wallpaper had been put directly onto the top of bare plaster. This meant that to remove it you went through layers of wall paper until the final layer that was really bonded with the plaster. The only way I could get it off was to use a spiked roller tool with a handle, similar to the tool used here, in that the spikes punctured the wallpaper to allow water and steam penetration. I used a steamer and scraper to remove the layers (in some rooms up to 3 layers of wallpaper!), but the last layer had to be removed by using a razor blade type scraper which also took a fine layer off the top of the plaster in order to completely remove the stuck on paper -what a job! Then I had to repair the walls due to scraper marks and top layer of plaster being “blown off” the wall in a couple of areas, due to leaving leaving the steamer in one place for too long! Lots of plaster repair and sanding afterward and the walls (now painted) look good and flat. No way could I have done the job without a steamer - if it had been any worse it would have been easier to take the top layer of plaster off and have the walls re-skimmed.

Wow, that was a huge job you had there Monty. Fortunately ones like that are rare. The worst one I have stripped was a staircase with seven layers of wallpaper. You are right, a steamer is the only way when confronted with these sort of jobs. I hope the rest of your decorating is more enjoyable.

Hopefully you should be able to peel the front of the paper off before soaking the backing. Fingers crossed it all goes well for you Sheila 😊

The other way to break the surface of the paper to let the water in is to use a wire brush, I was taught (many years ago) to cross hatch it with a scraper though as shown here. If you find a scraper where the corners are rounded off instead of being pointed, you know it's been used for scoring paper. Oh and for those talking about using a steamer, I've done it both ways over the years and the method shown here is far less messy and sweaty than a steamer, in my opinion.

You made it look so easy. Thanks for sharing.

I tried steaming off wallpaper back when I was a kid in 1974, in July, here in the Massachusetts. Never again, but anyone who does should aim for mid-winter instead. In a later job, I used push-pins to hang 2 or 3 wet towels on the wall, although 5 or 6 would have saved more time. I just kept spraying them until the area underneath one became obviously soggy, then that towel was moved to a new spot and what was under it was scraped off. It would also have been good to have a scoring tool, though since I assumed I'd never need it again, I never bought one. Most of the wallpaper I've seen recently has been the kind that pulls off in one sheet, so it's worth tugging on a corner or two before going for the scrapers.

Thank you so much for this video. It saved me heaps of time. 👍

I have a air compressor and use a paint spray attachment to spray water on the wall. Seems to work well as you can control the amount of water, cover a fairly large area without all the bending down and drips from a brush. I’m getting older and my back not so keen to keep bending down! Another use for the compressor is when cleaning brushes or rollers. Once a roller has been cleaned a very quick way to dry it is by running a jet of air on the side of the roller (still on the handle) which will spin it at quite a high rate so dry in a few seconds and it seems to bring the pile up almost like new. Brushes can also be blow dried but it can splay the bristles out a little.

Nice vid Aubrey. Although,I’ve found it’s totally impossible to remove all the paste from walls if you want to paint them! Invariably you’re going to get “crocodiling” on the new paint so the only sure way I’ve found is to apply lining paper then paint that. It also gives a nice flat surface to paint on and looks really professional. Keep them coming sir!

Kathy, there is a product called Gardz which seals the wall after you have gotten as much glue off as possible. It is clear, dries in about 40 minutes and is easy to use. Using Gardz insures that your paint does not alligator.

If you wish to paint the wall once wallpaper has been removed will the tool you demonstrated to score the wall damage the plaster underneath? What would you recommend to do in this instance? Thanks.

Hi Mark, as you can see on the video if used correctly the tool does not mark the wall. I often use the tiger to remove wallpaper and have not found it to be an issue. If for some reason it does leave any marks on the wall just apply some filler once you have removed all the paste and washed down the surface. Hope all goes well with the decorating 😊

I had no idea Paul McCartney was an expert at paper hanging.

How long has that wall paper been glued there though? I'm about to remove one that has been where it is for more than 30 years now and I suspect it's going to be quite the headache even with this method...

Fantastic. Unfortunately my wallpaper is this kind (not the vinyl), spent 5 hours getting a small section done trying to scrape it off in sheets. Which obviously didn't work. Have the tiger, looking forward to trying it out. Thank you for the well explained demonstration.
