Steam can quickly penetrate into the bottom layer of the wallpaper, and the hot air can quickly dissolve the glue, so that the viscosity of the glue is quickly reduced. The wallpaper can be quickly separated from the wall without pulling the wallpaper forcibly, which can reduce the dropping damage to the lowest.

 

Precautions

 1. The heat of the steam iron is relatively large to prevent burns;

2. Since the ceiling of most houses is painted with latex paint, be careful not to use a steam iron near the ceiling for a long time, and use a scraper and other tools to block it;

3. When the steam has not completely dissolved the glue, please do not pull the wallpaper wall cloth forcibly to prevent damage to the wall;

4. The steam of non-woven wallpaper can penetrate quickly, the steam penetration rate of pure paper wallpaper is slow, and PVC wallpaper needs to destroy the surface PVC layer (tool application: removing the old wallpaper roller) or tear off the surface layer before construction;

5. Other special wallpapers need to be determined according to the site conditions.

 

Does the wall need to be dealt with after the wallpaper is torn?

If the wall is flat, very strong,not be damaged after the wallpaper is torn off, and the wall has been treated with the base primer when the wallpaper is first applied, then just peel it off and just paste it. . If the wall surface is uneven after the wallpaper being torn off, and the wall body falls off, you need to reprocess the base layer and repaint the base primer.

 

If the wallpaper and wallcovering is good torn or not?If the wall itself and surface is easily damaged? What does them have to do with?

 

Sticky Rice is the Key!

Chemical adhesives or sticky rice glue doped with chemical adhesives have poor hydrophilicity, their structure after painting is irreversible and penetrate deeply into the walls and lock them firmly, which results that when tearing the wallpaper, the walls are easily damaged. Increasing the difficulty of peeling the wall surface and the cost of repairing the wall surface when replacing the wall covering.

 

Garefu Sticky rice glue adopts natural high-quality edible starch. The starch has strong hydrophilicity. So the structure of the dehydrated glucose in the starch is reversible when it encounters water.The adhesive is easily dissolved, the peeling strength of the wall covering and the wall surface is reduced, so the wallpaper wall covering is easily torn off to protect the wall surface from damage.
