DIFFICULTY RATING: (2 out of 5 - Easy)

Whether you want to put up new wallpaper or switch to painted walls, removing wallpaper is a key way to give a room a fresh start.
Step 8: Apply wallpaper remover solution.
Wear rubber gloves and safety glasses when applying wallpaper remover. Follow the instructions that came with the remover solution. Some solutions you need to mix with water and others are ready-to-apply removers. Spraying or sponging evenly, cover the entire wall surface. Work from the top of the wall to the bottom. As the wallpaper absorbs the remover, it will darken slightly. Continue applying the solution until you have covered the entire wall. Most removers will only require one application.
Spray the solution onto the perforated wallpaper.
