* Utility Knife

* Putty Knife

* Spray Bottle

* Water

* Bucket

* Dish Soap

* Rags

* Safety glasses

* Gloves

Instructions:

1. Preparation:

- Put on safety glasses and gloves to protect yourself.

- Remove all furniture and decorations near the wall mural.

2. Incise the Edges:

- Using a utility knife, make a shallow cut along the edges of the mural where it meets the wall and ceiling.

3. Wet the Mural:

- Fill a spray bottle with warm water and add a few drops of dish soap. Spray the entire wall mural with this solution and let it soak for 15-20 minutes.

4. Scrape the Edges:

- Using a putty knife, carefully start scraping the edges of the mural, separating it from the wall. Be gentle to avoid damaging the wall underneath.

5. Wet Again:

- Continue to spray the mural with the water and soap solution as you work to loosen the adhesive underneath.

6. Remove in Sections:

- As you scrape, the mural should begin to peel off in sections. Continue scraping until you have removed the entire mural.

7. Clean the Wall:

- Use a damp rag to clean any remaining glue residue on the wall.

- If the adhesive is stubborn, use a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water, and gently scrub the area until it comes off.

8. Dry the Wall:

- Let the wall dry completely before painting or applying any new wallpaper or décor.
