Hi,
Just removed wallpaper from bedroom wall. Walls suprisingly good underneath!. What is the best way to remove the wallpaper paste residue prior to painting?

Thanks in advance,

Gary.

Evil job gary..I always suggest to my customers that they line the walls instead, you get a better finish and its quicker.

Other than that...a buckets of hot soapy water and a scourer..just keep going over it until it looses that slimey feel, then rinse with clean cold water and allow to dry
