Wallpaper Steamer - Steaming the Walls
You know that just as you are preparing to decorate someone always tells you freaky stories about using steamers to take wallpaper off?
yes indeed, I can assure you they do - tell stories I mean, according to their fables whole chunks of plaster fall from the wall and the whole activity ends in total chaos.
So I foolishly believed them and took to work, scraper in one hand and a nice bowl of warm water at my feet ... after a day of this, I had not made much progress around the room - and frankly not being a multi millionaire, it's not exactly a huge sitting room.
Thus I figured there was nothing for it except to give the old wallpaper removing steam machine a fair crack at the job.
Of course 2 hours later and the job half done I'm wondering what all the fuss was about.
In this particular sitting room the old wallpaper came off like a dream, why anyone would cover the walls in thick woodchip paper I've no idea, but job now done, thanks to using a steam wallpaper stripper.
