Hi Bruce — the order did arrive. Tracking shows it was at your post office from 4 May waiting for collection, which is easy to miss with a PO Box.

You collected it on 14 May and emailed us the next day to confirm it had reached you — less than 24 hours after this review went up.

Would you mind updating it now that the order is in your hands?

Hi Timothy, we're sorry SimpleStrip didn't work out for you. We've reached out directly and issued you a full refund — no questions asked.

With very old wallcoverings there are a couple of things that can affect results. A border that's been in place for over 20 years may need a significantly longer dwell time than usual — sometimes up to an hour or more. It's also possible the border was applied with a glue-based adhesive rather than traditional wallpaper paste, in which case SimpleStrip unfortunately won't be able to help as it's designed specifically for paste-hung wallcoverings.

If you'd like to talk it through, give us a call — we're happy to help.

This is an awesome product

This is an awesome product, it was the only thing that would get the border off of the wall cleanly.
One note, the longer you leave the pads on the border and keep them saturated, the easier it is to get the paper off. About 40 minutes worked best for me.
This is definitely worth the money.

Thank you for the fantastic review, James! We're so glad the product worked well for you — and thanks for sharing that tip about leaving the pads on for around 40 minutes, that's really helpful advice for other customers. It's great to know it made the job easier! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and hope to see you again next time you need supplies.

Kind regards,
Paul

The product worked well

The product worked well. The wallpaper I had was very difficult to remove. With patience and repeating the process a few times in some areas, final result was good. I would recommend trying this product especially on non-vinyl paper.

I have used Simple strip previously and the product doesn't disappoint. It removes the wallpaper with ease.

Customer Service

I did not get my first order and sent an email which was responded to immediately followed by a duplicate order being sent.
Having removed wallpaper before, I did not realize it could be this easy!! My paper has been up for 35 years and I figured it would never come off.
Thanks for your product.

Fantastic product!

We have had experience with removing wallpaper before that was horrible! This system was sooooo much easier than any we have used! The cloth allows the soaking agent to truly soak in and you just peal it off! What small amount that may be left behind is a minimal effort to remove. We will definitely be using this kit again!

I did not accept the shipment as the liquid had leaked out in the box. Please correctly pack and ship or return my payment. Thank you.

I would like to update. Once I submitted my review I was immediately contacted that a new shipment had already been sent. They informed me that this was only the second bottle that had broken in 18 years. I am very pleased with the response and service. It seems there are still companies out there who truly care about their customers.

Helpful but not a miracle method

We bought this after seeing it used on YouTube and hoped for a miracle method to get down old ugly wallpaper in a house we just bought. This wallpaper is probably from the 80s and is very stubborn so the Simple Strip didn't work as well as we hoped. It's still a ton of work and a messy process. I might try a steamer before buying the $80 kit.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, we appreciate the feedback on your experience.

The effectiveness of the product does depend on the type of wallpaper and the adhesive that was used and unfortunately some types of wallpaper are just very difficult to remove, especially some that were produced in the 80’s. The product should remove most wallpapers in whole sheets though.

I will reach out personally via email to see if there is anything we can advise to help make the job easier for you. There are some tips and tricks which should make it much less messy!

The product was brilliant and did everything that it said.

The instructions were very clear and easy to read.

I found that for the best results the longer you leave it on / keeping it wet. Than the easier the paper will come off.

Great product. I will need to buy more as my whole house it papered :(!

This product really surprised me

This product really surprised me. It is really easy to use and it works like a charm. It took me 3 days to take off the wallpaper in one room using a steamer and it took me a few hours to take the wallpaper off in one whole room using Simple Strip. Highly recommended.

Amazing

I bought the Simple Strip wallpaper removal system and I admit I was a bit skeptical of having the paper 'fall' off the walls as shown in the video - this product is amazing it worked EXACTLY as described!

Don't bother! Save yourself $60!
The pump sprayer did not work properly...it was a wet mess.
The sheets were unecessary and time consuming. I abandoned them at the count of 2. Thought this might be quicker--it was a waste of precious time.
Resorted to my previous tried & true method--score, spray with a regular spray bottle of warm water & vinegar. Wait 20 mins and you are good to go. At a cost of $5 or so.
Also, I tried phoning the company for help in the midst of the maelstrom--it was a Saturday afternoon and I got an answering machine. Five days later and no reply to my message.
So, I emailed--and they replied with all kinds of reasons why it failed--and no offer of a refund or reason why they didn't call back when I needed them.
Lesson learned!!!!!

Dear Patrica,

Thank you for taking time to write a review of your recent experience. I am sorry that you were unable to get through when you needed us.

I understand that the problem was caused by a broken pump sprayer. I have spoken with customer services and they have have informed me you purchased the product 18 months ago. The product is out of guarantee now, however as a gesture of goodwill we would be like to send you replacement free of charge. We ware continually improving Simple Strip and I confident you will be delighted with our new product.

Kind regards,

Lucas

Best wallpaper removal ever invented.

My daughter & her husband tried everything to remove the wallpaper in their nursery. They used a steamer & various tricks they found on the internet. They were able to remove wallpaper in other rooms, but was still a very tedious job. The nursery was so hard, they were going to just wallpaper over it. I found Simple Strip on the internet & decided to give it a try. It was so amazing that it worked like they advertise. Put the "stuff" on like they say, wait 30 minutes & it just peeled off. The key is keeping it moist during the 30 minutes. That's why the kit includes a sprayer. I would recommend this to anyone removing wallpaper. My daughter is removing all the paper from their house now. They were going to just do the walls they had to look at all the time, but with Simple Strip, it's all coming down now. BEST PRODUCT EVER!!!!!!!!

Amazed is all I can say!

This brilliant piece of kit helped my husband and I strip our rather big hall, stairs and landing of woodchip in a day. I was skeptical. It's a bit faffy scoring the walls and hanging the sheets, but it did literally peel off! Left the walls intact too, where as all the other rooms we have stripped with a steamer have cracked or been damaged with the scraping.

I'd use this again definitely!

Fantastic products really work!

My husband and I first tried the products about a year ago. After trying other wallpaper removal agents and strippers, we found this. It is so easy and really makes removal a breeze. We had heard horror stories from a friend who ended up having to put up new sheet rock after trying to remove wallpaper and we were very skeptical at first. This product is fanatastic and really works very well. We have used it in 3 rooms in our house and have recommended it to friends and family. If you have to take off old paper, this is really the only way to remove it!!

Great Product!

I am very please at how well this product works! I was having trouble removing wall paper in our dining room but after using Simple Strip solution and sheets, the wall paper came down easily. It was amazing! Works great on stubborn wallpaper glue. I will recommend this product to all my friends.
