how do you get border off the wall?

Question

I want to do it the most cheapest way possible. so any answers

Answer 1

Find the seam and pull it easy, you should be able to pull the vinyl facing off. Next use a wet sponge and soak the paper backing that was left on the wall, that too will pull off too. The key is moisture and patience. If you've got a non-textured ceiling (if that's where the border is) you could also fill a spray bottle with hot water to soak it up. Good luck and take your time, Les the painter

Answer 2

Just spray warm slightly soapy water (the softener should work also.) will work. Just start at an edge, spray, let soak a bit and gently start to peal. Keep spraying and pealing.
It is usually quite easy.

The quality of the paper you are pealing will tell how well it will peal.When I wallpaper or paint, I always use a GOOD quality. It costs a tiny bit more but the labor is the same with poor or better quality. And the long lasting quality will be worth the cost.

Answer 3

A mixture of fabric softener and water will do the trick. Put it in a spray bottle, soak the border, and peel it off. (I hope the border is not put on over wallpaper, or the wallpaper may come off, too, lol)

Answer 4

i always use the fabric softener in warm water, i also use this tool called a paper tiger. it perforates the paper, allowing the solution to get under the paper and remove it more quickly..you can get the paper tiger for about $6 at a walmart or hardware store.

Answer 5

If those answers don't work you'll have to steam it off with a steamer
