I just had to write and let you know how fantastic the Wallwik products are. Prepare to be astounded, I am a novice decorator and I had put off stripping the dreaded woodchip off my bedroom walls. The product is an absolute dream, score really well and leave on for I would say 20 minutes and the paper just falls off. Many many thanks whoever invented this should get a medal!

"Have just used your product for the first time. Could not believe what we were seeing, what a fantastic product. No mess, really easy to use and does exactly what it says. We will recommend you to everyone.”

"I was very excited about my purchase of Wallwik after reading the testimonials, however when I told my boyfriend and explained how it worked…."you put the paper into the warm solution and stick them on the walls, then the wallpaper comes off easily…. And the paper is reusable!" as I was listening to the words myself I doubted them. My boyfriend said " what? Paper that you put in water and reuse what a waste of money!" The day came when we followed the instructions and applied the paper to our walls that are full of woodchip (every room in the house!) My friend, mum, step dad and boyfriend were all looking with anticipation, once we had waited the allotted time we took off the wallwik paper and put a scraper to the wall. It was like shearing a sheep!!
The paper fell off… My boyfriend was aghast and basically ate his words. This stuff is brilliant, as long as you score the walls well the solution does the rest for you."

"Hi, I just wanted to say how good Wallwik is. I was stripping a room where woodchip paper had been painted with green emulsion and then overpainted in dark blue satin finish. Frankly I was dubious if the paper would come off at all without badly damaging the plaster underneath. I found out about Wallwik on the internet and ordered a pack. It does everything you say. I scored the paper, applied the soaked Wallwik fabric and the paper came away from the wall leaving the plaster intact. What's more there is no nasty smell and you avoid the working in a sauna experience you get using a steamer. It took me just a few hours to strip the whole room. I'd recommend Wallwik to anyone."

"Had to write for all those sceptics out there, including my own decorator, this stuff really does make a difference. I was worried about wasting money and time when already facing the daunting task of my whole house being covered in woodchip, a huge decorating bill, and I am not a big fan of internet shopping, or buying products without recommendation, but given the scale of the task I decided to take a chance. We almost sent the pack back unopened as my decorator said nothing but hard graft and many hours would work - at a price of course. Hah, can’t wait to see his face tomorrow when he sees what we achieved over the weekend; my house is ready for him to paper and paint. My tip is making sure you score the paper lots. All our paper was painted so we knew to do that anyway but we learned quickly, the more you score the better the product works. We still used a steamer but after we developed a system we found it was only needed for speed on the last layer, more product would have achieved the same result. Thanks, I’m 9 months pregnant, desperate to get into the house in time for baby coming, and it looks like we might just make it... touch wood (chipless)"

"I have a house covered in the dreaded woodchip - aghhh. Still - I wasn't looking to forward to stripping off more of this delightful product anymore. Came across Wallwik - it stated that it would strip woodchip. Hey I thought, give anything a go. I am writing this testimonial on Monday afternoon after a very successful weekend of stripping woodchip. Now - not only stripping but as promised, but removing the old woodchip in one piece (rather than thousands) at a time! All I can add to those who have stated it already is - Yes, it does work.
I had a single layer of painted woodchip; each piece took between 20-30 minutes of soaking before they came off. Cannot praise the product anymore than that. In addition, I found that it was better to spray the solution straight onto the woodchip 10 minutes before using the scoring tool (this allowed the spikes to penetrate the woodchip better.) I also found that spiking vertically, horizontally and diagonally helped as well."

"It is not often that I am rendered speechless, however it happened this afternoon. My husband and I started using Wallwik to remove woodchip and paint that had been on the walls for 23 years. Given previous experiences of removing woodchip, we did not feel hopeful that it would work as easily as described. We left the solution on the wall for almost an hour and our jaw hit the ground when the woodchip came off in almost an entire sheet. The product actually does exactly what it promises! Minimum work, maximum effect!
"A few weeks ago we got a quote from a decorator to remove woodchip from, and paint, the lounge and dining room. He said it would take 10 - 14 days and involve heavy-duty steamers and quite a mess. The quote was £1200. We stripped half the dining room in 2 hours this afternoon with minimum mess (in fact we had left the carpet and furniture in place as we were not confident Wallwik would work!!)
We cannot praise Wallwik highly enough, it has revolutionised wallpaper removal."
Catherine Whitaker, Leeds 21-11-05
"This product is absolutely fantastic - why go to the bother of using anything else when this does the job without damage - timely and easily. I would not have been without it. It does remove several layers at once and in whole sheets. A GREAT PRODUCT."

Dear Mr. Knolmayer
"I recently remodeled a bathroom that needed wallpaper removed, and I was having absolutely no luck with the old tried and true, conventional wallpaper removal products. I was told about the Wallwik Wallpaper & Paste Remover System from a friend who had seen it on TV, and what a great job it did in removing the wallpaper in my bath! I had tried the products on the market, and had scraped to the point of beginning to damage the plaster. But once I used Wallwik, the wallpaper peeled off effortlessly, and removed all excess glue, leaving the walls very clean and ready to paint.
I have since recommended your product to 4 of my friends, who have all used it with the same amount of success and satisfaction. They have thanked me numerous times for the recommendation. It is both refreshing and satisfying to use a product that is of such quality
Kudos to you and your company on an excellent product!"

"Walwik turned a major task (I was about to rent a steamer) into an easy Sunday afternoon project. It was exactly like it was shown on TV! Thanks for making such a great product!"

"Dear Ed: This is an endorsement for your excellent product. "Finally a product that does exactly what it claims it will do! The wallpaper came off so easy; I couldn't believe it--BUT ITS TRUE." Thanks again, Ed. George R. Bauer."

"I have a century old house that had wallpaper over plaster. The paper had been painted over several times. There were at least 3 or 4 different colors. With extra pressure the scoring tool got through all the layers and the Wallwik sheets and solution did a great job of removing the wallpaper, even with all the paint layers. We were able to complete a 12x 14 room with 10 foot ceilings in one day and are ready to tackle the next room. I was amazed at how quick and easy the work was. Thank you for a great product."
Diane Bjersted 5-05-04
"We had the opportunity to use Wallwik. With 3 people we completely removed wall paper and completed the cleanup in a 13 x 30 kitchen dining area in a little over 4 hours. The product is wonderful. My paper was 1 layer over plaster, part painted, part unpainted and the paper pulled right off in full sheets.
My sister-in-law used Wallwik also and says it's the best product she's ever used. Her paper was 2 layers over sheet rock and she got the same results I did."
Linda Jamerson 17-02-04
"I just wanted to thank you for one of the best products I've ever seen! We purchased a house built in 1955 which is covered floor to ceiling with wallpaper, including the ceiling. Some of the old vinyl paper was so dried out, it came down easily - only to find there was a final paper layer over unprimed sheetrock. We did some research on the internet and came across your product. Though a bit skeptical, thought we would give it a try. It worked like a charm - and allowed me to do other tasks around the house while it worked! This product is BETTER than you claim - and makes what used to be a nasty task something we now look forward to doing as we redecorate. Thank you so much!!!"
Lesley Connolly 2-6-04
"Thank you, thank you, thank you! My husband and I have been beating our brains in trying to remove wallpaper in our bedroom. My neighbor saw your product on TV and recommended it to me. I was so skeptical but figured - "What have I got to lose?" My frustration - that's what! To any and all wallpaper removing skeptics out there - IT WORKS! IT REALLY REALLY WORKS!"
