How Do Wallpaper Strippers Work?

Wallpaper strippers work by steaming the paper off the wall, loosening the wallpaper itself and any glue residue on the wall. Steam-based wallpaper strippers can tackle various wall coverings, from woodchip paper to wallpaper that has been painted over.

Do Wallpaper Stripping Tools Damage the Walls?

You’ll find a wide range of quality wallpaper strippers and steamers at Toolstation from brands such as Wagner and Draper.
