Wallpaper Steamer

maggie111 · 2010-01-25 14:21:32

We've bought a new home and every room has wallpaper which I want to take off. The ceiling also has woodchip (or whatever that horrible stuff is called!) So I'm about to buy a steamer but prices are from £20 to £150 and I don't understand what makes one better than the next. Any recommendations or things to look out for?…

We bought a cheap Earlex steamer many years ago and like Ormus, it has done the round of family and friends with no complaints. Make sure that you put newspaper or old cloths on the floor around the edges of the room to absorb the water that will run down the walls. It removed our woodchip really well and the paper on my mum's hallway which was about 6 layers thick came off easily too.
