Any tips on removing wallpaper paste once it has dried on the wallpaper? It's the paste for prepasted wallpaper. The shiny streaks and spots are driving me crazy. Thanks!


I have not had the problem, but I'll bet some surfaces are a real pain to clean up.

Water with just a hint of soap (maybe car washing soap) should do it. Lots of clean water rinse without really wetting the walls.

Lots of hot water. Let it sit for a few minutes & towel it off.
