Mistakes happen, keeping it real.
What happens here
Once the wallpaper or adhesive has been thoroughly softened by the steam, use a broad wallpaper scraper or a putty knife to gently remove the loosened material from the surface. Hold the scraper at a slight angle to avoid digging into or damaging the underlying wall. Work carefully and systematically across the steamed section. Collect the removed, often wet and messy, material into a nearby bucket or trash bag for easy disposal. Continue this process of steaming and scraping until all the desired wallpaper or adhesive has been removed.
