To get a wall decal on the wall, it will not cost you much. It is affordable, flexible, and customizable. Wall decals add a great look to your existing indoor sign system and they are also great for non-commercial usage. If you are going to buy and install a wall decal on your own, it is essential to know how they can be removed. Improper removal can become problematic and it may leave grimy windows or damaged walls. The removal procedure is straightforward. In this post, Marvel Custom Signs will provide step by step procedure on how to do it. We have also shared some essential tips and considerations that will help you get the most out of your indoor signs. Indoor Sign Removal: 3 Crucial Wall Decal Considerations Before we get into our four-step wall decal removal procedure, consider the following points:

1. As there are so many types of wall decals out there in the market, hence how you should approach the removal process is based on the kind of wall decal you are working on. If we talk about vinyl lettering, it uses a low adhesive as compared to other decals, which makes it easy to remove off any substrate. Due to low adhesiveness, vinyl lettering is a good option when you are dealing with wallpaper or painted surfaces. If you have any queries about the wall decal type, feel free to call our Littleton indoor design specialists at 303-537-5659.
2. Another important thing to consider is the surface you are with. If you are working with hard, smooth, or non-porous surfaces, just like plastic and metal, the decal removal process would be easy for you. However, if you are working on a rough, soft or porous substrate, the removal process will be a bit difficult.
3. The next important thing to consider is time. How long has the decal been stuck there? Basically, the longer the design has been installed, the harder it will be to remove and vice versa. This factor applies to almost all kinds of signs, but importantly so when you are dealing with decals. If you don't know how long the decal has been installed, we can help!

  4 Step Wall Decal Removal Process Apart from permanent wall decals, this removal process will work for any wall decal. Here are the steps you need to follow:

1. Try peeling the decal

Before you do anything else, try peeling away the decal with your fingers or edge of a plastic credit card. To do that, wedge the edge of the credit card between the decal & wall surface and then slide it between the two with light and consistent pressure. Don't use the razor or sharp edge for this process because this can damage the substrate.

2. Apply heat

If the decal is tearing in your fingers, try to apply heat with the help of a blow dryer. For this, hot water can also work well, as long as that doesn't damage the substrate. Never use a heat gun or high heat devices for this, because this can damage the underlying surface or it can even melt the decal into the wall.

3. Clear away the residue

You will see that wall decal has left a small amount of adhesive residue behind. To clear away the residue, you can use a damp or soapy cloth. If using damp or soapy cloth doesn't work for you, you can call us for some more suggestions.
