    Relm Strawberry Cake Room

    I want to paint my walls, so I'm removing all the layers of wallpaper that my mother has piled on my walls over the years. If I don't, she might paint right over them or even wallpaper over them again while I'm in California!

    Most of the layers can be pulled off, because they're stuck to each other instead of to my walls, but the very bottom layer is sticking to my walls. So far, I'm getting it off with water and a scraper, but, since no one is helping me, I'm wondering if there is an easier way.

    Urine is a natural solvent on most basic glues, the salt also can corrode the paper really quick.


    Yes, you must pee on the wall.

    You can get steamers for removing wallpaper

    Alternatively just grab some steam and throw it at the walls!!

    Flex your muscles. Stare intently at it. Scare your wallpaper into falling off.

    Water and a scraper is what I used when I wanted to paint my room back in '07.

    try an iron and salt water, the iron will steam the salt water and melt the glue

    Oh monda! Just pee into a cup and dash it on the walls!

    My parents removed the wallpaper (I was not there, I do not know how) from our bathroom and there were some groovy 70s wallpapers underneath!

    Fixed.

    I don't think there's a quick way to do it, but do remember that some wallpapers are specifically designed to prevent/reduce water damage so that might be making it more difficult.
