Removing Wallpaper

I've planned to remove the wallpaper in our hall bathroom ever since we bought the house. It became one of my "vacation" projects this spring. I wanted to remove it without strippers/chemicals and found that it is not that hard to do after all. Thanks to a youtube video I discovered a technique using vinegar and nothing more than a paint scrapper and spray bottle.

Using the paint scrapper to loosen edges I peeled the top layer off the wallpaper. This leaves a paper and glue layer.



Next I sprayed the paper/glue layer remaining with a 1 part white distilled vinegar to 2 parts water solution. After about 5 minutes you can scrape or pull the paper off effortlessly. Work in sections so it doesn't dry before you peel it off.



Today I get to paint the clean walls.
