Yuck! Trouble Removing Wallpaper Borders?

Wallpaper borders…the rage in the 80's and 90's… can be difficult to remove.   

Try these Quick & Easy Steps!

·Heat the border with a hairdryer. Gently pull at the border to see if it will come off.   If the border doesn't budge move on to the next step.
·Mist the border with warm water in a small spray gun.
·Scrape it gently but firmly with a plastic scraper.
·Use more warm water and a sponge. Once the border is moist, it should feel soft to the touch and should be easier to scrape off.
· Use a Steam Wallpaper Stripper.  Steam from the bottom of the border to the top. You may need to use the wallpaper scraper to remove any excess.
·Clean Down the Surface.  After the border has been removed, clean the surface and check that the wall is free from any trace of adhesive.
