I'M A PROFESSIONAL STRIPPER!!!

Advantages: Removes wallpaper quickly & cleanly
Disadvantages: Steam nozzle for smaller areas has to be purchased separately

...Ta da…! The BOSCH PTL I WALLPAPER STRIPPER A safe and powerful little machine, which promises to "Take all the hard work out of redecorating." Bosch's claim is 100 per cent truthful and the only downside is that we have now run out of rooms to redecorate. It was very therapeutic exercise gently peeling away layers of wallpaper in a continuous strip. No hacking away with a scraper was necessary and the walls were left smooth as a baby's bottom. ...
...market, but I found the Bosch Wallpaper stripper simple and effective to use. There is an instruction leaflet which comes with the product and it's easy to follow. Should you lose it, the usage and safety instructions are clearly and concisely printed on the top of the unit and are exactly the same as the paper instructions. The machine would be even better if it had been supplied with an additional, narrower steam plate for awkward and narrow wall ...

Review of Bosch PTL 1 Wallpaper Stripper

takes the labour out of stripping

Advantages: superb labour saving device
Disadvantages: watch out for scalding drips

The plan was a simple one and the work required would probably take up two days of my weekend to fully decorate my son’s bedroom. This involved removing a paper border from the middle of three of the walls and painting over the existing paper, which was in good condition. The reality was rather different and has involved the removal from four walls, three layers of borders and two layers of paper each having had at least two colours of paint on them. ...
...and the Ealex has fitted the bill perfectly. In my local Homebase this was the mid priced product weighing in at £28. I chose it primarily because of the additional items it came with and it was the only one that came on wheels making it easy to move about and less likely to pull over if you try and work outside of its range. So what do you get for your money, well the most important thing is that it does work, it has taken about a day and a half ...

Review of Earlex Steam Wallpaper Stripper

Stripper, only paper though.

Advantages: It works
Disadvantages: Requires effort

...is my review about the Black & Decker Paper Stripper, I have used this and other models over a period of quite a few years, so am qualified to write on it. Model reviewed KX3300T 2300 watts, 4 litres capacity. This model uses a heating element to make steam, this unit is kept on the floor, and the steam goes up a tube to a pad which you hold on the wall or ceiling. The old style (Black & Decker BD1200) worked as a single unit, and you had to support ...
...machine. With this unit, the steam goes exeactly where you want it, yes it does cause condenation, but so would the old method. As long as the steam can get into the paper, the system works, and works well. Weight - medium to heavy, I would say this is not too heavy (not quite) Cost - The price of the new model (KX3300T) is between £24.99 & £29.99 depending where you go. Ease of use - OK - better after a bit of experience length of power lead ...

Review of Black & Decker Steam Stripper

Not so soapy

Advantages: easy application
Disadvantages: quite expensive, non durable

I first came across sugar soap when I bought my house just over a year ago. The previous owner was a heavy smoker so, before we could paint the walls, we had to prepare the surfaces and remove the nasty yellow nicotine staining. We tried sugar soap concentrate, which worked well, but found that this was hard to apply on the ceiling as it had to be squirted directly on and it tended to drip off. That's why when we saw these sugar soap wipes in homebase, ...
...of 24 wipes cost approximately £3, which was pretty expensive as we had found that the concentrate was only marginally more expensive and this lasted for quite a few applications. The wipes were a decent size, but I felt, once using that they could do with being a little larger to make using them more easy. They smelt slightly of the sugar soap but there was no unpleasant smell, although I felt I still needed to use rubber gloves when using. It ...
