How do you prepare the wall before applying peel and stick wallpaper?

To prepare your wall for peel and stick wallpaper:

Clean – Wipe off dust, wash with mild soap, and let it dry completely.
Repair – Fill holes, sand rough spots, and smooth the surface.
Prime (if needed) – Lightly sand glossy walls or use a primer for better adhesion.
Ensure the wall is dry, smooth, and dust-free for the best results!

Smooth, spotless surfaces are ideal. Only a clean, smooth surface will allow a peel-and-stick wallpaper to adhere to your wall correctly. Take a few minutes to clear the area of dust and filth before starting the installation. Wipe the entire surface with a microfiber cloth dipped in isopropyl alcohol.

Fill any holes or cracks and sand down any bumps. If the wall has been freshly painted

Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any dust, dirt, or grease. Fill any holes or cracks and sand down any bumps. If the wall has been freshly painted, let the paint cure for at least two weeks before application
