You may want to consider a drop cloth or towels around your baseboards, but I skipped it (laziness again? or just nothing to lose on that floor that also needs replacing anyway? You decide.) I sprayed each section twice before trying to peel off the remaining paper. Often, by the time I finished carefully peeling the top layer of wallpaper and fully soaking it down, the first section I’d already sprayed was ready for a second soaking. Working through small sections at a time. I wound up repeating each part: peel the wallpaper, spray peel more wallpaper, spray.
While I waited, I just started peeling more paper. Now that the paper layer was fully soaked, I let it sit. Just because it’s non-toxic, doesn’t mean it won’t remove what you want to stay! 2. When you do this, you’ll probably want to take more precautions than I did and cover the floor, because it is meant to disintegrate glue proteins. I just allowed it to drip where it may as I sprayed. new wallpaper will probably have varying degrees of success). I’m sure this matters since I know there are probably different methods for different types of wallpaper (traditional wallpaper vs. By not peeling down to the specific layer where glue meets drywall, very little gouging took place. Perhaps it was a combination of pulling the paper at an angle away from the papered edge (about 45 degrees) and pulling more slowly (I was hopeful instead of frustrated as usual). I don’t think that the paper separation really had much to do with the solution because the paper backing was still very dry. It reminded me of old sticker residue or the fuzzy edge of torn construction paper. The top layer of the paper came away, but the fuzzy bottom layer of the old wallpaper remained stuck to the wall. Then, I grabbed a small piece with my fingernail and pulled. Peel off the top portion of thick wallpaper first Not long, and not for the recommended 15 minutes as it directs on the bottle, but I showed a small amount of patience (though I really wanted to just tear away as usual). I began first on the wall directly across from the vanity and toilet and aimed directly at a visible seam in the wallpaper. And since I’d filled the sprayer using the primary bathroom sink, I saved myself the trouble (sheer laziness) of picking up my feet and turned to the wall I was facing. Since the product had the words “non-toxic” and “biodegradable” all over it, I didn’t bother using any rubber gloves or eye protection. And added lots of water (this stuff is highly concentrated and requires suspension in water to work, so it’s important to dilute it). I poured a tiny bit of the solution into a spray bottle. Then, the day finally arrived and I couldn’t use the excuse anymore.
