Tough Wallpaper Removal

February 23, 2026  /  Peter Martin

Wallpaper removal is never fun. This job had the added features of having two layers of paper, and both layers were vinyl. This meant that the paper had to be sanded to get the steam to the paste. This was the first time that I used a wallpaper steamer. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the steamer at work. It worked very well and was well worth the cost of the rental. If I had stuck with the Dif, it would have taken me at least twice as long to get the paper off.
