When carrying out repairs, one of the primary tasks will be the removal of old finishing material. Moreover, the process completely depends on its type, quality and consists of several stages.
Room preparation
First of all, all the furniture is removed from the room. That which cannot be carried out is shifted to the center and covered with a film. The floor, if it is not planned to change its coating, is also protected with a film or other suitable material.
If the wallpaper will be removed using the wet method, the electricity should be turned off. Then you need to prepare all the necessary tools.
During operation, it is recommended to use protective equipment, such as gloves and a protective mask. Fungi and mold, which can be dangerous for the body, sometimes accumulate under the wallpaper.
Easy way to remove wallpaper
You can remove wallpapers in several ways. In the classic case, a knife or putty knife is used. Great for old coatings that are slowly starting to peel off. With the help of a tool, they poke a piece of wallpaper, if necessary, cut it. Then they are gently pulled to remove the canvas as large as possible at once.
The classic method is best suited for non-woven and vinyl wallpapers, as paper tears quickly. To easily remove the coating from the paper, it should be thoroughly moistened. Using a sponge or spray gun, the layer of wallpaper is moistened 2-3 times with a frequency of about 15-20 minutes. During this time, the glue will dissolve, so that the canvas can be removed without any problems. The coating itself is removed in the same manner as in the classical method.
When removing moisture-proof wallpaper with a blade or knife, several scratches are made on the surface of the canvas. Water, penetrating into the incisions, better impregnates the material and the adhesive dissolves faster. In this case, you need to remember an important detail. Moisten the wallpaper should be gradual, site after site. If you process the entire wall at once, then as the first canvases are removed, the latter will dry out and you will have to repeat the steps again.
In addition, you can see in construction stores special tools for removing wallpaper. They are available in the form of a liquid, powder and gel. The drug is diluted in accordance with the instructions, after which the desired area is treated. The glue dissolves in a few minutes, which can significantly save time when removing wallpaper.
