Remove wallpaper murals with common household products.
A wallpaper mural adds a unique and personalized effect to your walls. Putting together a wallpaper mural and applying it takes creativity, concentration and a great deal of effort. Taking it down will require effort, too, but the job can be accomplished with supplies from your home and local hardware store. When your task is complete, you'll be ready to add a new wallpaper mural or a fresh coat of paint.
Instructions
1. Pour 1 cup of white vinegar into the spray bottle and add 2 cups of water. Place the spray top on the bottle and shake the solution to mix.
2. Spray the vinegar solution directly on the wallpaper mural. Saturate it completely and allow the solution to soak in for a few minutes. Use a ladder, if necessary, to reach the mural.
3. Scrape the wallpaper mural off the wall, using your plastic scraper. If some parts of the mural are still stuck to the wall, apply more vinegar and water solution with your spray bottle and allow a few more minutes to sit. Continue to scrape until the remains of the wallpaper mural are removed.
4. Mix a few drops of dishwashing liquid in a bucket of warm water and use a clean rag or towel to wipe off the vinegar residue.
