We’ve heard that painted over wallpaper is really hard to remove so maybe google for tips on how to do it and see if you’d like to try that or if you just want to paint over it again.

I posted this comment on your FB wall also. Not sure of the best way to reach you. I’m in a bit of a panic and need some advise.

The previous owners painted over the wallpaper in our bedroom. I want to change the color. Should I A) strip the wallpaper or B) paint over it again?

Have you EVER run into something like this before? The wallpaper is in good shape. no peeling or cracking. I didn’t even realize it was wall paper until I went to prep the walls for paint. Thoughts? and Thanks in advance for ANY suggestions you might have.

Ours only overlapped the back of the toilet by about an inch, so I could pull it off with my fingers, but if it’s out of your reach maybe you can use a ruler or something to get behind it? Otherwise hopefully taking the tank off (don’t need to take the whole toilet up I don’t think) might not be so bad.

What is the best way to remove wallpaper behind the toilet? I’m struggling with that in my powder room right now. I just removed newsprint wallpaper AND a creepy teddy bear border around the top. I used half boiling water (from the kettle) and half fabric softener and it worked like a charm. I just can’t figure out a way to get all of the paper off of the wall behind the toilet without moving the toilet….which i don’t want to do! Any tricks?? Is it tacky to just remove enough so you can’t see whats stuck behind the toilet???

Thanks!!
Claire

Thanks guys, I was looking into Gardz for torn drywall, etc. Found it online but not in stores. It seems the perfect solution. It said it would seal the glue from wallpaper etc. Has anyone used it?
