How to Remove Wallpaper

Peak Pro Painting • July 11, 2016

Peak Pro’s process to professionally remove wallpaper

  • Start on one corner of the wallpaper and peel it off like you would a sticker. This is the most basic technique, and often leaves behind a layer of backing. If there is residual backing left after the initial peel, use a scraper to remove it.
  • For older wallpaper, you’ll need a spray bottle of warm water and wallpaper removing solution. Spray the solution and the water onto and behind the wallpaper, attempt to peel it, and remove the leftover backing with a scraper.

Completely removing wallpaper is an essential part of an interior painting project. We at Peak Pro Painting understand that preparation tasks are equally as important as the painting itself!
