Wall Sticker Removal
By Stuart Barr
Removing vinyl wall stickers and decals Now, we know that wall stickers are easy to apply…. Right? Are they easy to remove? Well, the answer is yes but only if you follow some simple points listed below. The ease of removal can depend on many factors including the wall surface and also the length of time the wall sticker has been applied for. Removing from walls The key with wall sticker removal is to keep the paint intact underneath. If you pull too quickly the sticker may tear and will also probably take some paint with it too. 1. Test the wall sticker by slowly pulling at a corner to see how stuck it is. In some cases it will remove quite easily without leaving any damage to the paintwork.
2. If the sticker is firmly stuck then use a hairdryer (on a warm setting) to slowly heat the corner, then once it starts getting easier to peel, apply heat to the next area as you slowly remove the sticker.
3. Above all remain patient!
4. Usually with the heat removal there isn’t any residue but if there is try soapy water but if this doesn’t remove it then use an adhesive remover or even wd-40 / nail polish remover (always try a small area first to test it and use sparingly). Removing from glass Unfortunately as wall stickers adhere so well to glass they can be a bit harder to remove but at least you don’t have to worry about paint coming off with it! If you have a diy glass scraper then this can also be used in conjunction with the points below. 1. Straight to the hairdryer! Use a hairdryer on a warm setting, slowly heating the corner. Then keep applying heat to the area that you are peeling off until the whole sticker is removed.
2. Again, if there is any adhesive residue, try soapy water but if this doesn’t remove it then use an adhesive remover or even wd-40 / nail polish remover (always try a small area first to test it and use sparingly). If you follow the above instructions then you won’t have a problem and certainly not the problems usually associated with wallpaper removal. Above all be patient!
