The SimpleStrip Skimmer is an 8-inch wide plastic scraper designed specifically for wallpaper removal — wide enough to lift large sections of loosened paper in a single pass, and flexible enough to follow the wall surface without digging into drywall or scoring plaster.

Why the Right Scraper Matters

Metal scrapers and filling knives are too rigid and too sharp for wallpaper removal — they gouge drywall, score plaster, and leave a surface that needs filling before it can be painted. The Skimmer's flexible plastic blade applies just enough pressure to lift wallpaper cleanly once the paste has been dissolved, without any risk of wall damage. Wide enough to work quickly, light enough to use for extended periods without fatigue.

How It Works

Three Steps. That's It.

No experience needed. Most customers finish a room in 2-3 hours.

1

Score

Run the scoring tool across your wallpaper to create tiny perforations so the solution can reach the paste

2

Soak

Mix Power Solution with warm water, soak the HydroSheets, and press them against the wall to lock in moisture.

3

Strip

After 15-20 minutes, peel the wallpaper away in large, clean sheets — no scraping needed

★★★★★

"It took me 3 days to take off the wallpaper in one room using a steamer and it took me a few hours to take the wallpaper off in one whole room using SimpleStrip. Highly recommended."

Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions?

Everything you need to know about removing wallpaper with SimpleStrip.

What makes border removal different from full wallpaper removal? +
Wallpaper borders are typically narrower, often applied over existing wallpaper or paint, and stuck with a stronger adhesive to stop them peeling at the edges. The Border Kit includes HydroSheets sized specifically for borders so you get full coverage across the width without the sheets sliding or bunching.
Will it remove the border without damaging the wallpaper underneath? +
Yes — that's the key advantage over steamers and spray strippers. SimpleStrip works at the adhesive layer only, so if your border is applied over wallpaper you want to keep, the solution won't soak through and damage it. Take your time with the scoring tool and don't over-perforate.
Can I cut the HydroSheets to fit my border? +
Yes — the HydroSheets can be cut to any width with a pair of scissors. If your border is narrower than the sheet, simply trim to size before soaking. This also means one sheet can cover multiple narrow sections, making them go even further.
How much border will the kit cover? +
The Border Kit is sized for a typical whole-home border project. If you're working on a particularly large or heavily adhesed job, additional HydroSheets for Borders are available separately.
How long should I leave the HydroSheet on the border before stripping? +
Leave the soaked HydroSheet in place for 15–20 minutes to give the solution time to fully penetrate and dissolve the adhesive. For older borders or those with heavy paste, leave for a little longer. Don't let the sheet dry out — use the sprayer to keep it moist if needed.
