If you have ever tried removing wallpaper in your Oregon home or business, you know that it is tedious and labor intensive. Clearly a job for a professional.

If you decide to tackle the job yourself, here are a few important tips. For walls with more than 2 layers of wallpaper, First protect your floors and carpets from any moisture with tape and plastic. Have a pump sprayer on hand and fill it with a mixture of hot water and DIF wallpaper remover. DIF contains enzymes that help break down the old paste, but you often need to score the wallpaper so the liquid absorbs deeply. A nifty tool fot this is called a ‘paper tiger‘. The main tool you need is patience, particularly if you are removing several layers of wallpaper. Spray it, let it sit, spray it again, wait an hour, etc, until it starts coming off readily. Hopefully all the way down to the surface.

DIF has a gel product out now that works great for the homeowner as well as professional, particularly for one or two layers.
