Things You Will Need
Removing wallpaper or a paper on a craft that has been applied with wheat paste requires a few simple household items.
-
Fill a spray bottle with water. Wheat paste is water-based. Spraying the paste with water softens the paste, making it much easier to remove.
-
Spray down the wall or surface with wheat paste. The wall should be fairly soaked and covered in water. Allow the water to soak into the paste for several minutes.
-
Scrape off the paste using a putty knife or trowel. Continue to spray down the wall with water to soften the paste.
-
Dip a sponge in a bucket of liquid dishwashing soap and water.
-
Wipe the wall using the moistened sponge to remove any remaining wheat paste.
