Phil asks: Is there an easy way to remove sticky tape from wallpaper Auntie Flo?

Auntie Flo: I’ve tried this method and it’s worked for me Phil - put a drop or two of washing up liquid into really hot water (from a recently boiled kettle) and using gloves, wet some clean fabric in it and carefully wring it out.

Place the fabric over the sticky tape and then put gladwrap over the top.

Leave until the heat penetrates the glue and then you should be able to lift the edge of the sticky tape with your fingers to remove. Work slowly and carefully to avoid tearing the wallpaper and the tape should come off cleanly.

If you have another suggestion - feel free to leave a comment below.
