I have removed some horrible tiled wallpaper from our kitchen (not our choice). The surface underneath appears to have been painted with some form of emulsion/paint effect. Thankfully as the paper has been removed it has lifted most of the paint effect with it leaving me with nicely plastered walls. I am presuming the walls were skimmed the last time the kitchen was made over. I have 2 questions -
1. What is the best way to remove odd patches of paint left on the walls after I have removed the rest of the paper?
2. I am thinking of painting the walls and would like to use an emulsion paint. What is best for the kitchen and what prep should I do on the skimmed walls. My guess is the plaster has never been sealed given the way the paper and paint effect underneath are coming off the walls.
Any help appreciated.
