How do I delete old wallpapers?
Obviously, before you start gluing new wallpaper, you need to completely remove the old ones from the wall. Otherwise, the new wallpaper will soon begin to peel off, as it will be deprived of reliable adhesion to the wall.
The following situation is very common - old wallpaper is firmly "rooted" to the wall, and therefore it is decided to glue new ones directly on top. Acting in this way, one should take into account the fact that any wallpaper glue contains a certain amount of water, which is absorbed into old wallpaper, which in turn can lead to their peeling. To avoid such a situation, you should remove the old coating in advance. This article is devoted to exactly how to do this most effectively.
The ideal option is to use the method described on the roll and designed for a specific type and brand of wallpaper. However, by the time of repair, such instructions from wallpaper glued a few years ago are most often lost. Therefore, it makes sense to use simple and universal methods.
Among such methods, the so-called wet method should be highlighted as one of the most popular and effective. The advantages of this method are the absence of dust and damage to the plastered surface. This method of removing old wallpaper can be carried out using special solutions that ensure the dissolution of wallpaper glue, as well as ordinary water. Of course, using water, you need to be prepared for the fact that the result will have to wait for some time. However, using hot water, this process can be accelerated. First, the seams should be moistened, and only then - the main cloth. Wallpaper treated in this way can be easily removed with a knife, spatula or other tools. If some pieces still do not want to leave the wall, the procedure should be repeated. If this does not help, then you can resort to the so-called steaming. The essence of the method is that a section of the wall is ironed through a damp cotton cloth. When using the wet method, it should be remembered that moisture and power grids are incompatible things. Work on sockets should be done with extreme caution.
In addition to wet, there is also a dry way to remove old wallpaper. It consists in the banal tearing of old sheets from the wall. Especially tightly fixed pieces are scraped and wiped off with the help of all possible improvised means. The method is extremely dirty and labor-intensive, but it is often the only way out. If particularly stubborn sections of the wall still do not want to "let go of the wallpaper", they should be carefully primed, and then proceed to gluing.
