My wife wanted decal stickers on the wall, but I was concerned do vinyl wall stickers damage paint when we move out of our rented home. I reached out to a friend who had used them, and he confirmed that, yes, the paint can sometimes get damaged. However, he shared a method to remove the stickers without harm, using a hair dryer and olive oil. I have shared the detailed process with you below.

Do Vinyl Wall Decals Damage Paint?

Yes, it’s very rare, but it’s still possible. Here is the process to remove the decals without damage, my friend informed me.

  • You must use your hair dryer to set it low or medium and hold it about six inches from the decal.

  • Heat the decal and move the hair dryer back and forth over the decal for 30 seconds to 1 minute. 

  • Lift the corner and use tweezers or your fingernail to lift one corner of the decal. 

  • Finally, peel the decal away from the wall.

How to Remove Decals from Vinyl Wall Using Olive Oil?

Here is another method he informed me of.

  • You must wipe the edges of the sticker with a little olive oil.

  • Let the oil sit for a few minutes so it can soak into the decal.

  • You can use a sponge or paper towel to scrub off any leftover adhesive.

  • Finally, clean the wall with soapy water to remove any oil residue.

I hope this will help you.
