What is the best way to strip woodchip wallpaper?
Unfortunately stripping woodchip can be a long, arduous process.

The way we've found best is to


work in small(ish) areas
score the area with a knife
run a scraper across the surface to knock out some of the chips


The last two expose some of the paper and give a route for the steam to enter.

Then steam this area and scrape again - but don't expect to get all the paper off first (or even second) time. Then steam the area again but don't scrape - leave the area to soak as you move onto the next area.

Then go back to the first area after 5-10 minutes and repeat.
