Step 7: Score the wallpaper with a special scoring tool.
More than likely, you will need the help of a wallpaper remover solution. You spray or sponge these products on the old wallpaper. They soak in, dissolving the glue and making the wallpaper much easier to remove. First, you should score the wallpaper. A wallpaper scoring tool has wheels that roll over the wallpaper making many small perforations in the paper. This allows the wallpaper remover to penetrate and soak into the wallpaper and loosen the glue that kept the wallpaper attached to the wall. Roll the scoring tool over the wallpaper, evenly perforating the paper as you go.
Roll this scoring tool over the wallpaper to perforate the paper.
