New Wallpaper Smell

Tags: Painting

I had recently hung wallpaper and a border in a room. It has been several weeks and the wallpaper seems to have a "new" smell to it still. Does anyone know how to remove a smell out of wallpaper without removing it or destroying the pattern?

Sorry. I've hung quite a bit of paper. None it has ever "smelled". Are you sure its the paper? Does a leftover scrap have the same smell?

We believe the smell is from the wallpaper's glue. We took a piece that was left over and activated the pre-paste glue and it had the same smell.

We have just had the hall of our house paper and the smell is not good. Think it might be the glue, it is a Casadeco paper, Di not cheap! And we had it done by a professional decorator, any advice gladly received.
