(2,501 characters)fairly easily it's um it may just scrape off without a steamer but you'll see like um this would kind of be a slow process but the steamer will steam this really quick and lift it off like really fast once again dawn dish soap you can use dawn dawn's not going to add contaminants to the wall that'll cause your paint to fish out or any issues i just don't like using you know any chemicals at all so some of this is i'm just working along on this border and um this isn't going off coming off typically how it comes off usually comes off way faster than this my guess is some type of glue was used to attach this border onto this vinyl because regular wallpaper paste probably wouldn't have stuck to it and so i'm having to go a lot slower so i'm just holding you'll start to get a feel for you know how fast you can go um because it should just come off loosely like this so i'm happy to let the steamer do more work spend more time should come off quick and start this it's definitely softening up the vinyl underneath so you definitely got to be careful not to scrape and scratch that but this is kind of the process just slow going and see if i let it set long enough in place it just comes off a lot easier but you don't want the i don't want the vinyl underneath the bottle either because we're not removing that they do that in these corners a lot of seams remember that installation didn't do a very good job of the seams everywhere another handy tip is you can learn how to [Music] use both hands with a putty knife so that one shoulder doesn't get tired so one little tiny little tip when it comes to wallpaper i do like wearing gloves you know this does get pretty hot this hose gets pretty hot i can grab the hose wearing gloves you know it doesn't um because you can burn your hands as it's pretty hot but if you've got rubber gloves or some insulation you know factor there so you can actually grab it you know and hold it for a little bit of time so i definitely like wearing gloves i don't like the pace getting all over my hands either so gloves are good for that this is definitely yes i said it this is a stereotypical i'll show you i've come over here to this side i'm gonna do some removal on this side this is probably gonna be more representative of most wallpaper that you remove um let's see if it it's usually gonna be just like this once you wet it it just comes right off just like uh that's typical wallpaper removal unfortunately with this job i think they've used some…
