Pile the leaves on or buy the white covers made for them.
You can spray it down with vinegar and get it very wet. Rub it in with a cloth, make sure it is soaked in, and peel it off. You can do the same process with watered down fabric softener, as well.
I like dif it for taking down wall
Hi Cheryl. I would try using a steamer, or hair dryer. Use the hair dryer on the lower setting holding it about 10" away. Heat it up until the glue begins to soften, and then gently peel away the border. You may need to use a scrapper to get any of the glue left behind off. Good Luck.
Wall paper made starting in the '90s is in two sections- the backer and the face print. Try first to just grab a corner and rip. If the face is coming off leaving the backer, continue to strip until most of the face is off. Then use hot water and vinegar to scrub the backer off the wall. You can use a sponge with the nylon back of the sponge. Rinse well. Good luck.
I used a wet sponge and soaked the boarder then started peeling it off.
Can heat with a blow dryer..just make sure to get all glue off wall if painting. Also can use round cutter, then water to loosen.
use warm vinegar in spray bottle and use a tool (it's round and has little 'teeth' like things on the bottom)..run the tool over the wallpaper/border, spray with vinegar, wait for it to soak in and use a plastic putty knife.
