Wall Decals

Painted walls are at the highest risk from damage when removing wall decals. This means you need to take some care and focus on avoiding this damage. It is possible to remove wall stickers from even the worst walls.
The worst walls are those that had a poor paint job to begin with. One that has multiple layers of paint and these layers have not been prepared between paint coats. Or one that has air bubbles underneath the paint.
1. Work slowly and do not rip, snatch or pull the wall sticker of the wall
2. Using a hair dryer, heat the vinyl directly at the edge you are removing
3. When the vinyl feels warm gently lift edge ( you might need to get a finger nail under)
4. As you roll or pull the vinyl away from the wall, you need to heat the next section of vinyl directly in front of the piece you lifted. Basically you are working gradually heating and lifting.

. If you can visually see or you can feel a bubble under the paint surface you need to take care lifting over this area. If there is a second person, you can ask them to control the hair dryer while you use your second hand to press down on the bubble as you lift the vinyl off.

6. Continue until all of the vinyl is removed.
7. If there is any gum residue (not common on walls) then wipe the surface with an acetate based cleaner such as nail polish remover.
