Changing wallpaper is part of even a small renovation, which is also called “cosmetic”.

If more serious renovations are planned, then re-gluing or at least removing old wallpaper is an integral part of the work.

Changing wallpaper is one of the most effective and cost-effective ways to update the interior of your home.

But sometimes it happens that old wallpaper does not want to peel off easily. You have to literally "gnaw" it off centimeter by centimeter.

There are two simple ways to speed up the process.

In the first case, you will need warm water and detergent (dishwashing gel, shampoo or liquid soap).

The product is added to water, stirred and applied to the wallpaper. Then you need to wait a little and you can start removing the wallpaper.

An even more effective way to remove the old layer involves using a special product.

You can buy it at a hardware store. The procedure is the same, but the wallpaper softens even better and the work goes much faster.
