How to Remove Wallpaper Murals That Had Paste

Peeling a wallpaper panel is similar to peeling a sticker. You may need a special sprayer to tackle the task. Use your garden sprayer or Miracle Gro to mix the mixture of water and wallpaper removal solution. Start by spraying a segment of the wallpaper, ensuring that it is at a 45-degree angle. Then, let it soak for about 15 minutes. Repeat the process as necessary until the entire panel is gone.

After the wallpaper is wet, take the putty knife and lift it off the wall. After the paper has been lifted off the wall, use a damp sponge to remove any remaining paste. Once the paint is dry, you can paint the area or install another mural. To make the process easier, apply new wallpaper to the same area. This will prevent the wall from getting damaged in the future.

First, remove baseboards and move all furniture away from the walls. Then, use a blow dryer to soften the wall mural’s adhesive. Next, peel the mural from the wall using a fingernail. It is best to remove the entire decal at one time, because removing more layers will result in a difficult and time-consuming process that could cause damage to the drywall.
