Removing Wall Decals

How to remove wall decals

You will need:
Hairdryer
Patience
All Purpose Cleaner

Removing a vinyl wall decal that’s been on the wall for a while will be easier if you loosen it first by applying heat

Turn on your hairdryer at the lowest setting to begin with. Start with a small corner section of the decal, holding the hairdryer between five and eight inches away from the wall. When it feels warm to the touch, stop – if the adhesive heats up too much it could become tacky and may not come away when you remove the vinyl wall decal.

Now gently peel back a corner of the decal. It should come easily away from the wall; if it doesn’t, bring the hairdryer back for a few more seconds and try again. Continue peeling the decal off the wall, applying the heat from the hairdryer to each section as needed. Work slowly to avoid causing damage to the paint underneath.
