How to Remove Wallpaper Paste and Glue Residue

Så tar du bort tapetklister och limrester

Steget de flesta hoppar över, varför gammalt tapetklister gör att inget annat fäster, och handtestet som visar när väggen verkligen är ren

Tvätta väggen med varmt vatten och målartvätt, eller en svag lösning av tapetlösare. Arbeta i sektioner och byt vatten så fort det blir grumligt. Skölj med rent vatten och låt torka. Dra sedan en torr hand över väggen. Där det fortfarande känns klibbigt, blankt eller halt finns det klister kvar, och där behöver du tvätta igen.

Det här är steget som många hoppar över eftersom väggen ser färdig ut. Det är också steget som avgör om nästa tapet sitter kvar.

Varför det måste bort

Gammalt tapetklister är vattenlösligt och torkar till en hård, glasartad hinna. Det får tre följder:

  • Nytt tapetklister fäster inte på det. Våderna börjar släppa inom två veckor, med klistret kvar på tapetens baksida.
  • Färg fäster inte heller. Det ger fläckig glans, krackelering och flagning, så det är lika viktigt om du ska måla i stället.
  • Det aktiveras på nytt. Stryker du vått klister på gammalt klister mjuknar det, och hela väggen blir ett halt lager som ingenting får grepp om.

Så gör du

  1. Låt den avtapetserade väggen torka först, annars flyttar du bara runt vått klister.
  2. Blanda varmt vatten med målartvätt enligt förpackningen, eller en svag lösning av tapetlösare.
  3. Arbeta i sektioner om ungefär en kvadratmeter med svamp eller trasa, inte för blött.
  4. Låt det verka en minut och torka sedan med måttligt tryck.
  5. Byt vatten ofta, så fort det blir grumligt, vilket sker tidigare än du tror. Att tvätta med klisterblandat vatten sprider bara klistret.
  6. Använd en bred skrapa på tjockare rester och håll den plant medan ytan fortfarande är fuktig.
  7. Skölj hela väggen med rent vatten och en ren trasa.
  8. Låt den torka helt.

Handtestet

När väggen är helt torr drar du en torr handflata långsamt över den.

  • Klibbigt betyder klister.
  • Blanka eller hala fläckar i släpljus betyder klister.
  • Gnisslande och jämnt betyder rent.

Hela väggen ska kännas likadan överallt. Ojämna partier är precis där nästa tapet kommer att släppa.

Envisa rester

  • Blöt ytan och låt den verka längre. Det mesta envisa klistret är klister som inte har fått tid att lösas upp.
  • Använd en starkare lösning av tapetlösare i stället för att skrubba mer.
  • Prova en plastskrapa som hålls plant, så att du inte gör hack i putsen.
  • Undvik slipmedel. Slipar du klistret poleras det oftast in i väggen i stället för att försvinna.

Laga sedan väggen

  1. Spackla hack, skadade gipsskivor och gamla skruvhål, och slipa jämnt.
  2. Låt väggen torka ordentligt, eftersom en vägg som har blötts eller ångats håller mer fukt än den ser ut att göra. En ångad vägg behöver flera dagar.
  3. Grunda fläckiga, kritande eller lagade partier med en utspädd grundstrykning av matt väggfärg.

Måste jag ta bort tapetklistret innan jag sätter upp ny tapet?

Ja. Nytt tapetklister fäster inte på gammalt, och tapeten kommer att släppa.

Måste jag ta bort det innan jag målar?

Ja. Färg på gammalt klister krackelerar, flagnar och torkar till en fläckig glans.

Vad är bäst för att ta bort tapetklister?

Varmt vatten med målartvätt, eller en svag lösning av tapetlösare. Tid gör mer än tryck.

Hur vet jag när allt klister är borta?

Låt väggen torka och dra en torr hand över den. Klibbiga eller blanka partier har fortfarande klister kvar.

Kan jag slipa bort det?

Nej. Slipning polerar in det i ytan. Tvätta bort det med vatten.

Hur länge ska väggen torka efteråt?

Minst ett par dagar, och längre om väggen har ångats eller blötts kraftigt.

It’s only a little room, my sons office but it’s really brightened it up.

Customer photo review of Etta

Poor customer service - rolls are only available as one off 10m runs, so if you need 11m.. unfortunately you’ll be paying double for a second roll! Unless your walls are 8m or less, I’d avoid. Wrongly assumed Claret & Key would be slightly more compassionate about the situation and even help with a slightly discounted second roll, considering we only needed 1m. How wrong we were!

Etta

Store owner replied: Hi Emily, I'm sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the service. We sell our wallpaper by the roll, and we are unable to manufacture shorter rolls. This will be the same for most manufacturers as 10m rolls are standard, and most rooms require more than 1 roll to complete the job. Thanks, Claret & Key

I really loved this paper and thought it would look nice in my attic space. Delighted with the end result. Great service, excellent quality of paper and it really transforms the room. The eves are very low so the space was not utilised so making a feature with the wallpaper has created a cosy space to relax in. Thank you. M

Customer photo review of Louisa

Love this wallpaper. It’s just enough to show a statement but not so loud that it overpowers the space. Being able to pick the color is such a great thing also. You’re not stuck with 5 options so it can match your style and colors of your space. Would recommend to anyone looking for wallpaper. Very happy and my installer said its super easy to install this pattern.

Customer photo review of Brontë

I love how everything turned out and the price point was great. It was a bit challenging to piece together. Being from the USA, it was kind of a challenge to convert all the measurements to figure out how many rolls I needed and then where to cut the rolls to line up the images based on the design repetition. Luckily, I had plenty of wallpaper to work with on the roll.

Customer photo review of Adele

Gorgeous wallpaper, but the measuring option on the website left us short by 1 roll. Had to order another one but when it came the colour match was perfect. Thankfully I wasn’t paying for a decorator, otherwise would have been disappointed in having to pay for them to return. Otherwise great quality wallpaper and design compared to other similar products available.

Customer photo review of Stella

Lovely pattern and paper quality. However, I wish that I had paid more attention to the roll width measurement. For some strange reason your paper is narrower than a standard roll. This caused me a great deal of problems when papering my lobby, a small area but that made it more difficult because I was left with a narrow space to fill on 3 walls with a very long drop. Although I love the paper I probably wouldn't use it again just for this reason. Why you would produce paper not of a standard width is for you to know and me to wonder but it has made my small project very difficult.

Customer photo review of Ackley

Used this paper to make a dark study cosier. Absolutely loved the colour - the background is a perfect match to our existing panelling painted in Farrow and Ball Old White. First time using paste the wall and it was a revelation so easy and much less mess. Quality of the paper is great but noted the rolls are slightly narrower than most wallpapers. Loved the pattern match which meant little waste what we had left we used to recover some old box files which was easy. I thoroughly recommend.
