Paint & Wallpaper Strippers
Removing old paint is an essential part of preparing your home for a fresh new look. While the task can seem daunting, using the right tools can make all the difference. At The Paint Shed we offer a small variety of paint strippers including Bartoline Paint & Varnish Stripper & Rust-Oleum NR.1 Paint Stripper. The Coral Orbital Perforator is also perfect for creating small perforations in wallpaper, allowing steam or stripping solutions to penetrate beneath the top layer helping to dissolve the adhesive.Â

FAQs
Getting ready to remove wallpaper is just as important as the stripping process itself. Proper preparation ensures that your work goes smoothly and helps protect your walls, floors, and belongings from unnecessary mess or damage. Before you start using a wallpaper steamer or wallpaper remover, take a few simple steps to set yourself up for success.Â
If you’re using a wallpaper steamer, fill it with warm water and allow it to heat up according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually for about 10 to 30 minutes. Make sure you read the guidelines for your specific steamer to get the best results. For those using a wallpaper remover, choose a product that matches your type of wallpaper and follow the directions carefully.
Before you tackle the entire wall, test your chosen wallpaper remover or steamer on a small, hidden area. This helps you check that the process won’t damage your walls or leave behind stubborn glue.
By taking the time to prepare properly, you’ll find it much easier to remove wallpaper, whether you’re using steam, water, or a wallpaper remover. Careful preparation means less mess, less stress, and a better finish for your walls, making all your hard work worthwhile.
