Wallpaper & Paper Border Removal With A Wall Paper Steamer

What happens here

For areas like bathrooms or kitchens where fixtures such as toilets are present, it is much easier to work if the obstruction is temporarily removed. For a toilet, this typically involves turning off the water supply, unbolting the toilet tank (usually three bolts), and carefully removing it. This provides unobstructed access to the wall behind the toilet for easier wallpaper removal. Keep a trash bag handy to immediately dispose of the removed wallpaper, preventing it from getting in your way and creating a bigger mess. Wallpaper removal is a messy job, so efficient cleanup is important as you go.

Goal: Efficiently remove wallpaper around fixtures and manage debris.

Tools and materials

What they say

Hide

paint. A lot easier to work around the toilet bowl if you just or the toilet itself. If you just remove the bowl, the bowl just comes off with three bolts and turning the water fixture off that supplies the toilet tank. Want to keep yourself trash bags handy to pick up all this trash so it doesn't get in your way. Make a big mess. Even though this is a messy job.
