A Warner wallpaper steamer is an electric tool that uses steam to soften wallpaper adhesive, making it easier to remove. It operates on a standard 15-amp household circuit, draws 1,500 watts, and typically comes with a 15-foot power cord and 15-foot steam hose. The device includes a water tank with a sight glass for monitoring the level and a steam pan to apply heat to the wallpaper.
How it works
- The electric unit heats water to produce steam, which is channeled through a hose to a handheld steam pan.
- The user presses the steam pan against the wallpaper, allowing the steam to penetrate and dissolve the adhesive.
- Once the adhesive is softened, the wallpaper can be scraped off more easily, which helps minimize damage to the wall surface.
