Removing tissue paper wallpaper involves a process of soaking and scraping. Here's how to do it:
Steps to Remove Tissue Paper Wallpaper
-
Prepare the Area: Cover the floor with drop cloths to protect it from water and wallpaper debris.
-
Soak the Wallpaper:
- Use a spray bottle to soak the tissue paper wallpaper.
- Spray water into any slits you've made in the paper, this helps the water work its way behind the covering.
-
Wait: Allow the water to penetrate the wallpaper for about 10 minutes. This will loosen the adhesive.
-
Scrape the Wallpaper:
- Use a putty knife to gently scrape off the softened wallpaper. Work from top to bottom.
