Vinyl wallcovering/painting
Posted: Fri Jun 06, 2008 3:29 pm
We plan on re-painting all our walls at some point but for right now the kitchen is ideally my next priority inside job.
We're taking down the vertical strips & chair rail, filling the creases with drywall compound, sanding for smoothness then adding a coat of kilz to cover the wallpaper. My question though is......since it's in the kitchen would it be best to completely scrub down the wallpaper using an industrial strength cleaner before doing all this because of grease buildup from years of other people living there before us?
Any suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
