About Interior Wallpaper Removal
Interior wallpaper removal is the process of removing wallpaper from the walls of a room inside a building. This process may involve stripping off layers of wallpaper, adhesive, and sometimes the backing paper or wall liner. Interior wallpaper removal is typically required when homeowners or business owners want to update the look of their interiors or when the wallpaper is damaged, outdated, or no longer desirable. The process of removing wallpaper can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and often requires specialized tools and equipment to complete the job effectively. The cost of wallpaper removal can vary depending on several factors such as the size of the room, the type of wallpaper, the complexity of the job, and the location of the property. On average, however, the cost to remove wallpaper can range from $0.50 to $2.50 per square foot of wallpapered area.
Benefits of Removing Wallpaper
There are several benefits to removing old wallpaper and opting for a new look in your interior space. First, removing old wallpaper can give your home a fresh, updated look, making it feel more modern and current. It also allows you to have a blank canvas to work with, which can open up new design possibilities and allow you to get creative with your decor. Additionally, removing old wallpaper can help to eliminate any musty odors or mold growth that may be hiding behind the wallpaper, promoting better indoor air quality. Overall, interior wallpaper removal can improve the aesthetics and health of your living space, making it a worthwhile investment for any homeowner.
How to Remove Wallpaper
Although the specific steps and tools needed may vary depending on the type of wallpaper and adhesive used, the process generally includes the following steps:
Prepare the room
Remove furniture, cover the floors with plastic or drop cloths, and turn off power outlets to prevent electrical shock.
Remove the wallpaper cover
Use a putty knife or scraper to remove the top layer of wallpaper, revealing the backing paper.
Score the backing paper
Use a wallpaper scorer or a razor knife to create small holes in the backing paper. This will allow water or wallpaper remover to penetrate and loosen the adhesive.
Apply wallpaper remover
Spray wallpaper remover or a mixture of hot water and fabric softener onto the backing paper. Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes to penetrate the paper.
Scrape off the backing paper
Use a putty knife or scraper to remove the backing paper, starting at the top and working downward. Be careful not to damage the wall surface.
Clean the wall surface
Use a sponge or rag and warm water to clean the wall surface of any remaining adhesive or residue.
Sand and patch the wall
After the wall is clean and dry, sand any rough spots and patch any holes or cracks in the surface.
Prime and paint
Apply a coat of primer to the wall to seal any remaining adhesive and create a smooth surface. Then, paint the wall with the color of your choice.
