Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not stripping easily after application.
Ensure the solution was applied liberally and allowed to penetrate for the full 15 minutes. For washable or multi-layered wallpaper, ensure the surface was scored adequately before application. A second application may be required.
Product seems to be ineffective.
Double-check that the correct dilution ratio was used (one quarter of the bottle to 4.5 litres of warm water). Verify that the wallpaper type is not one that inherently resists stripping (e.g., certain vinyl-coated types without scoring).
Residue left on walls after stripping.
Wipe down the walls with a clean, damp cloth after stripping the wallpaper to remove any remaining solution or adhesive.
