    When it comes to wall paper removal, the first step is preparation. Some suggestions include to remove the furniture from the room so that it does not get in the way, as well as, does not accidentally get debris on it. If you are unable to remove the furniture you can cluster it into one corner & cover it. Get creative, & make sure you have everything on hand prior to beginning the process.
     
    Next, vacuum the room to create a clean work area. Then cover the floor with drop cloths so that no debris ruins the floor. Also, take down any draperies or drapery hardware, & loosen light fixtures & wrap plastic bags around them. Lastly, remove any wall plates from electrical outlets & switches. Then, you can get to wetting the wall paper, with hot water & a firm sponge, in scrubbing motions, keeping that wall paper nice & moist, the heat from the hot water later making it easier to peel off or scrape off.
     
    Do not rush the final removal of the wall paper, regardless of how time – consuming it may appear. Take your time. & remove each piece gently, remembering that it's not a 'speed race'.

    What is Wallpaper?
    Wallpaper, as its name so well implies, is a basic backing —- or some prefer to call it a covering — that can be effectively applied to go right over the walls of your home or business, respectively. & the reasons for covering such walls, in the first place, can be many. It is, in essence, paper for your walls. It comes in two forms, generally : non-woven form (which is the basic, common paper form we all know), & woven form (more of a fabric than a paper).
     
    A Bit on the History of Wallpaper
    The 13th century is when the very first wallpapers recorded in history are said to have been used. At this time in history, Europe relied heavily on these, often painting pictures or statues of very popular religious figures onto the wallpaper. Those more “religiously devout” would often own these in their home. & in time, this caught on, naturally. In the late 1800's, wood pulp came around as a cheaper wallpaper solution overall.
     
    Raw Material Wallpaper Construction Options
    Usually, you need a backing, the right ground coat, some proper ink to be applied, & many times, even some paste (it can't hurt —- especially since it can add to the greater adhesion of it all). The laminates or coatings used are usually of vinyl, sometimes latex.
     
    Efficiency
    Wallpapers are highly efficient, & when properly backed & placed, stay on for a very long time, especially when the ink & backing get properly tied.
     
    Budget
    This ranges by size, quantity, materials chosen, scope, labor deadlines, & much more. Budget accordingly.

    How long does it take to take down wallpaper?
     
    The process involves securing your baseboard and then choose the wallpaper panel to work on first. Soak the wallpaper with hot water then begin to remove it. The whole process will take you about 30 minutes per panel.
     
    FAQ Source
     
     
    Does fabric softener and vinegar remove wallpaper?
     
    Mixing a third of a cup of fabric softener and two-thirds of a hot water cup or a cup of white household vinegar and a bucket of hot water will do. The critical point is to allow the wallpaper to be wet enough to peel freely.
