🧰 What You’ll Need
- Warm water
- Bartoline Wallpaper Stripper (or mild detergent)
- A sponge or spray bottle
- A scraper or putty knife
- A scoring tool (optional)
- Plastic sheeting or old towels (to protect floors)
🪞 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Area
- Move furniture away from walls and cover the floor with old towels or plastic sheets.
- Turn off electricity to outlets and switches on the wall to avoid water contact.
2. Score the Wallpaper (If Necessary)
- If the wallpaper is vinyl-coated or washable, use a scoring tool to make small holes.
- This helps the stripping solution soak through to the glue underneath.
3. Mix Your Stripping Solution
- Fill a bucket with warm water and add Bartoline Wallpaper Stripper following the directions on the bottle.
(If you don’t have stripper, mix a few drops of mild detergent or vinegar in warm water.)
4. Apply the Solution
- Using a sponge or spray bottle, soak the wallpaper thoroughly.
- Let it sit for 5–10 minutes so the Bartoline glue softens.
- Reapply as needed to keep the wallpaper damp — don’t let it dry out.
5. Start Scraping
- Gently lift the wallpaper from a corner or seam using a putty knife or scraper.
- Peel it away slowly, keeping the paper moist as you go.
- For stubborn spots, reapply the solution and wait a few more minutes.
6. Remove Residual Glue
- After all wallpaper is removed, wipe the wall with warm water and a sponge to remove leftover Bartoline adhesive.
- You can add a little Bartoline Wallpaper Stripper for heavy glue areas.
- Rinse with clean water and allow the wall to dry completely before painting or re-papering.
💡 Pro Tips
- Work on one small section at a time for best results.
- Avoid metal scrapers that could gouge the wall.
- If the wallpaper was applied to unprimed plaster, take care not to over-soak — too much water can damage the wall.
