If it\u2019s too late…here\u2019s what you can do<\/h2>

Use a hairdryer<\/h3>

Heat can be your best friend, when you have to struggle with stubborn adhesives.<\/p>

Hold the hairdryer a few centimeters away from the surface until the heat will soften the adhesive<\/strong>, then gently remove the tape from the wallpaper.\u00a0<\/p>

As an alternative to hairdryer, you can also use a heat gun<\/strong> or even a blow torch<\/strong> (just be careful, they can be REALLY hot!).<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

This technique will work on almost any kind of masking tape<\/strong> and remove it from wallpaper, but also from painted walls, wood finishes or furniture.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Use a chemical solvent<\/h3>

If you don\u2019t want to take the risk of getting burnt, you can try a chemical solvent or rubbing alcohol<\/strong>. Of course, we suggest you to test a small area first<\/strong>, unless you want to spoil all your work.<\/p>

Consider using a little rubbing alcohol, which is a non-solvent for pressure-sensitive adhesives. When you apply rubbing alcohol, the adhesive residue will lose its adhesion and you will easily take it off. This can also work with acetone, or nail polish remover. Keep in mind that alcohol or acetone may damage painted surfaces<\/strong>, so be careful when using these substances.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
