It's a machine -like a giant kettle I guess - that you fill with water and it boils it all up. It has a giant hose part so you can apply the steam directly to the wallpaper and then it scrapes off really easily. </p> <p>We live in a 1930s house - and found lots of different layers underneath. There was a wood paneling effect wallpaper from probably the early 1990s, then under that there was another paper - and then underneath that one there was a 1960s green wallpaper under there.... it was amazing, like a history lesson. Underneath the last layer, the previous owner/decorator had written their name and the date - November 1962! </p> [attach=2581/13/mj2z1w.600x450.WP_000025.jpg] [attach=2581/13/mj2z1x.600x450.WP_000024.jpg] [attach=2581/13/mj2z1z.600x450.WP_000067.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-removed-wallpaper#post-608840 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 00:17:37 +0000 PrincessBaby 608840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My method was paying painters to come in and do it for us bc our house had wallpaper EVERYWHERE when we bought it, and it would have been too overwhelming of a job! On top of that, it's hard to avoid wall damage sometimes, sonI'm glad we called the pros! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-removed-wallpaper#post-608834 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 00:05:47 +0000 mrskc 608834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my gosh, yes! It was horrible. My parents had this straw/burlap wall paper. It was our cat's giant scratching post. lol I couldn't stand it so I spent one spring break in high school removing it. I think I sprayed some stuff on it and then scraped it off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-removed-wallpaper#post-608827 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 00:02:39 +0000 autumnlove 608827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had our house professionally painted and they removed it for us...they were pretty frustrated because they found five layers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-removed-wallpaper#post-608821 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 23:56:55 +0000 matador84 608821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a friend removing some today from their 80+ ear old home and found another layer under what they were removing.</p> <p>What was your method of removal? </p>
