As far as the musty smell goes, try to get rid of it. If that doesn't work, put mothballs in there like the previous owners. ;)<br /><br />SylGin and Sylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11849882478471352086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-75956928599540515772010-12-05T08:15:22.508-08:002010-12-05T08:15:22.508-08:00Oh I feel your pain.

It was the only thing that would work - but it got the drywall so wet then Roger had to repair the drywall.<br /><br />When we bought our last house it had so many walls papered - some with the shiny metallic stuff. Luckily a professional had put it up with sizing and I could pretty much "pull" and off it came. I've used Def from Lowe's and just fabric softener and water too.<br /><br />Kilz is a good product so hopefully that will fix your closet problem.,Margie and Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09778628815035344373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-91838244777669874812010-12-05T08:12:02.537-08:002010-12-05T08:12:02.537-08:00Oh yeah, removing wallpaper is a pain!

I discovered this little step in wallpaper hanging when I went to change paper in our house. It sure helps in the release. I've helped whoever comes along for the next change, or myself by applying it every time!<br /><br />Are you talking about KILZ? I hope that works for you with the musty smell!meowmommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01209824648988317879noreply@blogger.com
