These six products will make your wallpaper removal go much smoother overall.
If you have taller ceilings, look for a scraper with an extra-long handle for better reach. You will also need a scraper to get the wallpaper off once you spray it with the stripper or apply steam - make sure yours comes with a comfortable grip. And to get into corners and other small spaces, look for a compact scorer that fits into tight spots. To help the wallpaper absorb the stripper, a scorer tool that makes small perforations rather than a blade-based scorer can be particularly useful. Many strippers will list how many square feet of wallpaper the product can remove, so use this as a general guide to figure out how much to buy for your project. Some wallpaper strippers can be quickly sprayed on the walls, while others need to be rolled or even sponged on for more precision, so choose a product that’s applied in your preferred way. Other strippers come ready to use - no measuring, pouring, or mixing required - but these convenient options are usually a bit pricier. When mixing a concentrated stripper, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions closely to achieve the correct ratio. Some strippers are considered “concentrated,” meaning you’ll have to mix the product with warm water before applying it to your walls.
Liquid strippers are super helpful for wallpaper removal since they help to loosen not only the paper, but also its backing and any adhesive or paste that was used in its application. Both options work best with a rolling scorer tool to help the chemicals or steam reach the adhesive, as well as a scraper tool that’s comfortable to use to remove the loosened paper. Stripper is cheap and convenient, but a steamer can be great if you prefer not to use chemicals or you have an extra-stubborn wallpaper removal job on your hands (just be aware that steamers tend to be pricy). To loosen the paper, you’ll need to choose between a liquid stripper or wallpaper steamer. Wallpaper removal can be a total hassle, but the best wallpaper removers work together in combination to efficiently get the job done.
