In winter or rainy season, papered wall is likely to mold due to dew condensation. When it happens, you need to remove the mold and repaper there because mold can cause respiratory disease. If you follow these steps, you can repaper a room successfully. First, move furniture which was in the place to repaper. And then, tear off the moldy wallpaper. You can easily do it with a knife. Next, you should spread mold cleaner and dry the moldy wall. It takes few hours to one day to dry the wall. Make sure the wall dried completely to prevent going moldy again. Third, you should glue lining paper using wallpaper paste. If it is hard to find a lining paper, you can use newspaper or Hanji (Korean traditional paper) instead of a lining paper. Make sure you apply the paste evenly on all sides. After that, you should let the wall dry again until it is totally dried. Finally, you can finish repapering with wallpaper you selected. You can do it easier now because this step is the same activity as the third step. Repapering seems to be difficult, but it is worthwhile because it makes your home clean and lovely.
