Frequently Asked Questions

What is sugar soap and what is it used for?

Sugar soap is a cleaning product that is often used on walls and other surfaces before painting and wallpapering. It is an effective way to remove dirt, grease and grime that has built up and can be used to remove paste and paper leftover from stripping wallpaper. 


You can also use sugar soap on other surfaces such as wood, metal, glass and tiles.


How do you use a wallpaper steamer?

It is fairly easy to remove wallpaper with a steamer. To do this, you should:


1. Plug in the wallpaper steamer, add water according to instructions and allow it to heat up.

2. Score the wallpaper you wish to remove with a putty knife. This will help the steam get underneath the paper.

3. Hold the steamer against the wall for about 30 seconds then remove it.

4. Lift away the loose wallpaper using a scraper.

5. Repeat this process until all of the wallpaper is removed.


Will a wallpaper steamer remove paint from plaster?

We don't recommend using a wallpaper steamer to remove paint from plaster. This is because steamers can damage plaster and plasterboard, which can be difficult and expensive to repair.

It takes 10-15 minutes for a wallpaper steamer to heat up.
