Marks left on the wall
Reduce the pressure applied during rolling. Ensure the roller is only in contact with the wallpaper surface and not digging into the wall itself.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The spiked roller requires no assembly. It is ready for use directly out of the packaging, though it's advisable to check the protective cap is removed.
Compatibility: This tool is designed for use on most standard wallpaper types before removal or steaming. It is compatible with various wallpaper removers and steam wallpaper strippers. Ensure the surface behind the wallpaper is suitable for the application of removers, as the spikes facilitate deeper penetration.
Care: After each use, clean the roller head to remove any wallpaper residue. A damp cloth is usually sufficient. Allow the roller to dry completely before storing it in the provided resealable plastic cap to protect the spikes and prevent accidental injuries. Store in a dry place away from moisture. Avoid harsh chemicals for cleaning, as they may degrade the plastic roller or handle.
