Looking for tips!
Okay, people, today is the day to leave a comment. I am desperately seeking tips on removing wallpaper glue.
I abhor wallpaper. I’m not kidding. Well, let me qualify that: I abhor wallpaper in my house. More specifically, the work necessary to remove it. You can read all about my hatred and the reasons for it here and here. I also mentioned it here. Yup. It has become the bane of my existence since we bought this house from wallpaper-lovers. And now I’m in the middle of another lovely adventure with this despicable home “improvement” product.
Not long ago I mentioned our issues with Zach’s room, the soon-to-be dining room. The wallpaper came off surprisingly well. Now I’m trying to get all the excess adhesive off. Got any tips? Ideas? Simply homemade tricks?? I’m all ears! I know how to get it off, but I’m looking for something a little quicker and more efficient than hot water and elbow grease.
One thing: my husband hates the smell of vinegar more than I hate wallpaper, so if your solution involves this wonder of wonders, please also include a way to get the smell out of the house before 6pm. Thanks!!
