The Ease of Having Removable Wall Stickers

You've decorated your home the way you want and after years of having that wall decal of the Disney characters you cherished so much, you decide it's time for a change. There's nothing wrong with that. Nothing is permanent - not even your wall sticker. The problem comes with trying to remove the wall decal without any remnant being left on the wall so you can either replace it with paint or another wall sticker.




Removing wall decals is not as hard as it may seem. In fact it is simple and takes very little time to do. No matter how long one has had a wall sticker in place it can be removed by one of two ways:


1) Heat - If the sticker is on a painted wall or wood surface, simply use a heat source such as a blow dryer and heat the edge of the sticker you are trying to take off. Once it is warm, you can start taking it off slowly. Working too quickly can separate the piece being removed. Remove the sticker up to the point where you feel some resistance then heat the section until it can be removed. Repeat the steps until the wall decal is fully removed.




2) Window Cleaner - If your sticker is on a window or glass use glass cleaner. Spray the glass cleaner on the removable wall sticker and let it sit for a few minutes. The edges will start to come up or bubbles will start to form on parts of the sticker. Remove the areas that you see are lifted or bubbled up. It is likely that the sticker will leave behind some residue or it won't come off cleanly. If it does not come off cleanly use glass cleaner again and wipe it off or peel it off.




It is understood that no one will stick with their wall decal forever. That is why they are made to be removable. removable wall stickers are ever becoming popular because it makes it easy and simple to design your home the way you want it to be designed. With many to choose from, the possibilities are endless. Don't hesitate to buy a removable wall decal. There are great designs and they look good in any room.

Ideas for Wall Stickers As Promotional Items

Although in principle some people might say that it is graffiti thought of by some mentally bothered soul, custom wall stickers are different from graffiti in the following aspects:


1. It is far more elegant than ordinary graffiti, which are nothing more than using inexpensive paint emblazoned on a wall.


2. Wall sticker for use as Promotional Items uses paper that is available in various designs and material, thereby increasing the elegance that companies can definitely use as promotional products.


3. Unlike graffiti, which are essentially promotionally worthless and often permanent on the wall unless erased, wall custom stickers can be removed by the promotional company. This flexibility allows businesses to announce and withdraw its presence in an area any time. Moreover, the more advanced sticker designs today have adhesives that do not leave a mark when the sticker is removed.


4. Because it is not graffiti, custom stickers are not always distributed freely to the public in the same manners that ordinary stickers are. The reason for this is to give the sticker a greater sense of elegance and importance, which will both be lost if the public can readily have them. Moreover, control of the distribution channels will also give the business a better control of the direction the promotions is taking.
