Planning your painting or decorating job:
- Define your design plan
Make sure what colors you want in the rooms, or exterior. Provide painters and decorators the right color codes so no mistake is made.
- Find a painter or decorator and request free estimates to compare prices.
- Clean your rooms and walls
Clean your walls and remove wallpaper for fresh paint or a new wallpaper.
- Wallpaper removal tools and materials:
- Electric steamer
- Utility knife (razor blade)
- Taping knife (wall scraper)
- Protective goggles
- Rubber gloves
- Heavy-duty detergent
- Large sponge
- Patience
- Fill old cracks and holes.
- Remove furniture
Remove all the furniture in the rooms of your house, or cover them by large sheets if they are not in the way of the painters & decorators.
- Stain handeling
Stains on walls should be removed as soon as possible to prevent a reaction between the stain and the wallpaper.
Some stains can be removed with a mild soap and warm water.
- Clean painted surfaces with water and mild detergent (such as hand dishwashing liquid), or a mild household cleaner, that says on label is safe for painted surfaces.
- Always rinse after using soap.
