Absolutely love this product! We had wallpaper that had been up (we are guessing) around 25 years or so, floor to ceiling with a boarder in the middle. We were able to get ALL of the wallpaper, boarder and glue down in 7 1/2 hours without any scream, crying or losing our minds that we feared would happen. I definitely recommend it!

This was 30 year old wallpaper. It worked well on some walls but still needed a heavy duty steamer on others.

The DIF Concentrate was not effective in removing wallpaper in our kitchen, so I tried the DIF Gel to remove the wallpaper in the hallway, but I achieved no better effectiveness than I did with the Concentrate. Product came highly recommended by wallpaper installer.

Uh oh, something is amiss here, John! It is important to apply Rust-Oleum Zinsser DIF Gel Wallpaper Stripper with a spray or sponge, do not use a fine mist sprayer. Let the product sit for 15-20 minutes and then scrape off. If the top layer does not come up easily, score the surface with 10 holes per square inch and apply more gel. Allow DIF to penetrate for an additional 10-15 minutes. Rustoleum

    Not for old wallpaper
    Couldn't get it to work and we soaked the wall after frustration.

    Something is amiss here. Please keep in mind, for best results, we recommend using Zinsser Paper Scraper to remove loosened wallpaper and to apply the product as needed to keep the wallpaper saturated. We want to know more about your application and get to the bottom of this together. Please call us at 888-855-1774 to discuss further. Rustoleum

      DIF is an awesome product!
      DIF is the only wallpaper remover I have used and would recommend. I am surprised that Home Depot doesn't sell it in their stores and that it has to be ordered online. Because I was in need of wallpaper remover when I needed it, I had to purchase what was available in the Home Depot store and it was terrible. It was messy and had an odor. Please start stocking DIF in your stores

      DIF Walpaper Stripper
      Works great! I tried another brand first without success. The gel stays in place so the removal solution has time to work properly.

        Too bad it is no longer in the store.
        I would recommend this product to my customers if it was still sold in the stores! I really only bought one bottle. It was never sold in a four pack.

          OK for small jobs.
          Did not perform as well as I had hoped. Had to buy a steamer to progress job. Save your money and sp end 50$ on a Wagner steamer.

          best!
          This was the best ever wallpaper remover I have used. It was a huge, miserable project, and I won't ever hang another sheet of wallpaper.

          Disappointed
          I was very disappointed in this product. The consistency of the gel makes for a very messy spray application. The product spattered back into my face, as well as the floor. Once on, it worked OK, but it is just an overall messy solution to removing wallpaper. After about an hour of dealing with this, I got out my steamer. THAT is what I should have done to begin with. A steamer is the ticket to removing wallpaper! Now I have a huge container of DIF sitting in my way that I will never use. Lesson learned.

          Works better than a steamer!
          Spray or roll on and be patient. After about ten minutes reapply. in about eight minutes start scraping of the paper. After two attempts with rented steamers the DIF worked much better and was much more cost effective.

          DIF Gell Wallpaper Stripper
          It is really messy. My boss loaned us her wallpaper steamer, that worked much better and didn't make a big mess.

          Very powerful
          Used just over 1 bottle for a 22x15 room with heavy glue. Just know that this is a very time consuming job and should be tackled in small sections. I didn't wait the recommended wait time to begin removal once applied because it would dry quickly and become to difficult to remove. Once I figured that out, each section was done quickly. This product did not effect my skin and didn't ruin the floors if it happen to go past the drip cloth. Very effective product, and would recommend to others.

          boarder wallpaper strippers
          If you use it right it works fine. After applying focus on that area before moving on. Also helps if you rub it in.

          Home made products work as well for less.
          Doesn't work that good at removing the wallpaper, works better on the backing.

          It works
          It works but so does dishwashing detergent. There is less of a mess with this product as it is more gloppy (technical term) but when using the scoring tool to get underneath the wallpaper, both products worked equally well. I guess it comes down to less of a mess vs cost of doing the job. Do spend the money on the scorer and scraper though.

          Dif wall paper remover.
          It was very difficult to scrape the glue off the wall. The paper came off fairly easy but then the glue that was left on the wall was very hard to remove. Many long hours and days of scraping. The DIF did not do any better than warm water and soap in the scraping of the glue in my opinion.

            directions not accurate for my experience
            It was good to use if you put it on and left it only for a minute, and then peeled off the paper. If you do it as the directions indicate (let it sit for 10 minutes if I remember correctly), it is a slow, painful process.

            Product is ok but not a quick fix. Requires a lot of scrubbing.
