That is an incredible point! No one talks about what it takes to remove peel and stick wall paper or vinyl flooring or how long it can last or stay up if used in other ways. I didn't even consider thickness as a factor in addition to the adhesive. Thank you so much for sharing your experience - really appreciate it!
I use it to line the insides of my dressers so my clothes don't snag on wood and for a fun pop of color. It is super hard to remove if it's been in place for a long time. I can't imagine how much work cleaning adhesive off an entire wall(s) would be😐
I just removed 3 layers of peel-and-stick vinyl tiles. I've done quite a bit of work myself in my home and this was one of the WORST jobs I ever did. Even after I finally got them all up with the help of a heat gun, there is a very thick layer of extremely sticky glue left. I own my home so was able to let it dry and get ceramic tile installed, but no way are the vinyl tiles renter-friendly.
@@abigail1023tacky pond shop crap stick to proper tiles 👍
FYI everyone. If you stick a layer of contact paper down on your floor first and then put the peel and stick tiles on top of that itll come off clean everytime. Just make sure you cover your entire floor with contact paper first!
Great idea!!!!!!
I’m sorry but I think that’s a bad idea think it will cause more mold to grow under that paper
Brilliant idea
I don’t think it would create mold, as Ive seen someone use a shower curtain liner then apply the tiles on top, which I think plastic would create mold from humidity.
@@mals6386right. I'm tryna figure out how contact paper would create mold...
As a landlord, if I know if renter is capable, I will happily pay for some supplies. If it improves the house. I have been burned because everyone thinks they can paint! 😂
I installed click lock over the floors of my last house rental. The landlord liked them so much they paid me to not remove them. I charged what I paid for them plus labor and still got my full deposit back on move out. They were able to increase the rent on the next tenant due to the uograde!
Seems like you... handled your business!!!
I should have asked about that in my last apartment! It was in sorry shape when I got it. My father and I sanded and bleached the floors, put in a backsplash and installed ceramic tiles on the kitchen floor, painted, fixed all the cracks and holes in the walls and floors, replaced the cabinets, even soundproofed a wall and replaced the broken toilet. That apartment got quite an upgrade because of me, and we should've been paid for that labor when I moved out. Didn't even occur to me. Whoever got that place after me really lucked out.
I hope ppl run across this video on their research for peel and stick. I enjoyed how honest and informative this is. Especially those who are renters and run the risk of learning the hard way.
Thank you I've used the pill and stick its beautiful you can change it anytime you want thank you for your information
Years ago we bought a house where someone previously had used those peel and stick carpet tiles in the living and dinning rooms. Then someone later had tried to remove it. We were stuck with two rooms with patchwork effect of tiles across part of each room, some clean hardwood flooring in areas and some floor covered in black goop from the glue residue. We were struggling with getting the mess up until by accident we found something that got the goop up fairly easier. One of our dogs had an accident and we used a cheap pet urine cleaner from a dollar store for the accident and noted that it loosened up the glue residue as well - better than the Goop Be Gone we were trying to use.
Wow, didn't think about that product to remove residue. 😳 Thanks for sharing.
What was the name of the product?
At 'one if our dogs had an accident' I thought your suggestion was going to go in a whole other direction. 😂
I used command poster strips to put my peel and stick up. Never removed the backing. It's in the kitchen covering back and side of wall near the stove. It looks like stainless steel. That makes it renter friendly. I haven't had to clean grease off my bare walls in 5 yrs. Easiest clean up ever!
that grease in itself is impossible to remove if not done immediately!
Grouting peel and stick def makes it more permanent! This method is awesome! I used double sided carpet tape myself and haven’t had any issues!
@@deewatson213Have you had to pull out the tile? Been thinking of using this but now I'm wondering what hell might await me when I move out of this place and have to remove it
@@angiet3535 yes I removed it. The worse thing I encountered was sticky residue. I used good off to get it right up. It was pretty simple. I even used contact paper on the counter tops and it was also easy to remove.
@@deewatson213 I wonder if I can pull this off on floors😁
Last year we did peel and stick vinyl tile marble in the basement bathroom. We tiled and grouted it. It’s definitely more permanent than people think!!
😊😌
Is it waterproof?
I respect you guys for your honesty, you don't get much of that on youtube.
Thank you for this. I wish more people who do the "renter friendly" makeovers would be ethical enough to put the cons in their videos. Great video!
Some may not realize what they've done until time to move.
😮 I thought about it for my old apartment but taking everything down is way too much work, not worth it to me at all
Lots of experience here, get permission! Peel and stick put on correctly is next to permanent and can be harder to remove than simply cutting out the floor/wall and replacing it. It’s not easy to remove like say, wallpaper. It could cost you and your landlord big bucks to take out. Not renter friendly.
Great tip!
So do it incorrectly and I’m fine? 😃
@ d flowers and diy power couple, you people really annoy me as it's just not as simple as that when money is tight and landlord never updates the property. My landlord only provides general maintenance so some of us have no alternative!!!
@@Rachael121 It doesn't cost extra to get permission. Have you ever asked your landlord for permission to make an update to the property, providing you provide the materials and labour? Your landlord will probably say yes, but may want to see what you intend to do to his property, as is his right.
What if you use painters tape underneath? Like a barrier between the paint and the adhesive?
What a beautiful, watchable couple❤
Don't forget the fumes that peelable wallpaper, flooring etc can give off and not ideal for small rooms for infants, children, animals such as birds that could be sensitive, or if you have respiratory issues or allergies. Adequate ventilation is needed to vent these fumes. The fumes come from the adhesives and plastic properties of the product.
Also, to remove products a hairdryer on low may help soften the adhesive on sticky backed plastic. Wear a suitable respirator if using this method
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Oh yikes! How long does the smell take to evaporate if I may ask??
wow thanks for sharing this!
Glad I saw this before we spent a few hundred dollars redoing the floors in my daughters 1st apartment! She’s sad to be stuck with the brown tile she hates, but glad she’s more likely to get her deposit back. Guess we will invest the floor tile money into a really lovely area rug instead.
I would check out some other people who review products. There are some products that are better for removal than others
@Belinda Burns you can get the vinyl planks that stick onto one another. I know trafficmaster have some. They don’t stick to the floor , they stick into each other and they are easy to take up.
"Renter friendly" command hooks: stuck to the wall, hung 5 oz thing, fell off the wall, ripped 2" of paint and spackle, creating sizeable hole, took 30 min to fix (reapply spackle and repaint). Regular hook with nail: held on and tiny nail hole took 5 min to fix. Added bonus: regular hook cost 25% of command hook. The truth: "renter friendly" products are a ripoff. Thank you for bringing this truth forward ♥
You're welcome, Anna. Thanks for sharing your story. -DIYPC 😃✨
That's interesting. I've never actually had a problem from using command products.
@@rach2909Same here. I understand that most users experience problems because
1: wrong Command product for task
2: Not properly prepping surfaces
3: Not following application process precisely
There’s a reason Command products are so popular, but you need to consider how you use them.
Yes, command hooks may NOT be renter-friendly, especially if the drywall is not well done. It’ll easily rip off drywall if something falls off and pulls the hook/strip with it. If your home has a lot of humidity, the command hook loses its effectiveness, and it falls off the wall, sometimes pulling drywall off the wall. You’re better off using a regular hook with a nail. It’s sturdier, and it’s easier to fix at moveout with a tiny hole versus ripped off drywall.
@@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_LivingIt sure is you are 100% correct! :) Here in lovely virginia with its usual 90% humidity :) All adhesive fails here not only command hooks. I had construction adhesive fail before due to too much humidity. I now have to buy its special landscaping variety which costs A LOT.
As a renter, you have to be careful about which peel and stick you use. 'Get permission' is always the best way to go about things. There is an easy stick shelf liner that DOES peel off with out any issues. It is for cabinet shelves, but I used on an old, beat up microwave cart (sides as well as shelves) and it works fine. But - I don't have kids so it isn't getting banged about. Peel and stick tiles can be wonderful if you take your time and install it correctly. It can be cheaper or it can be very expensive. But it isn't coming up easy peesey. It isn't really 'renter friendly'.
Put down rosin paper to cover the floor then the peel and stick tile for renter. Use double dided tape on the paper to the floor. Never grout in a rental. Contact paper is an option for a temp backslash and its cheaper than p&s backslash tiles. Still always get permission for any decor in a rental. If changing light fixtures , always save the originals as they are permanent, unless you leave the new. I've done this with light fixtures and shower heads , faucets, cabinet hardware . I've even done wall to wall carpet with double sided tape. As long as you have the original permanent fixtures to put back ? You can take all of your fixtures with you. You can even change out the light switch plates. Always put back to original state upon moving unless you and your landlord have made another agreement. My sister in law put in new fixtures when the old ones were all beat up. She tried to take them with her and was faced with losing her security since she threw away the old ones. Her original landlord know bit he sold the property and the new landlord had no such agreement with her. In cases like that you should always get it in writing or as an amendment to the lease agreement.
If there is any texture to the area, like a sheetrock wall with multiple layers of paint, contact paper doesn't stick. I think that's why the peel and stick has gotten so popular. It just sucks that it might take paint off with it.
This video just randomly came into my feed and I’m so glad it did, because not only am I obsessed with DIY and loved all the well thought out info you presented, but both of you have what may be the most pleasant voices I’ve ever heard in a UA-cam video. I would honestly listen to you take turns reading random Wikipedia articles lol.
🤔 You may be on to something! 📖
Mine too and I’m glad it did
I will never forget the time I put peel-and-stick "wood" planks on a wall in our laundry room - only to find all of them on the floor the next morning. Yes, there may have been angry tears. I did proceed to nail every one of them down, but no, I would not do that again.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. 🤗
Thank you for this. As a lifelong renter, I'm always afraid of using stuff like peel & stick products because I don't want to mess up my apartment for the deposit, etc. I'm very conscientious about the places I live in, so hearing another opinion about these products is extremely helpful!
You're welcome
Me too... That is why I just plan to use peel and stick on my own furniture as my contract clearly says to to make holes or stick anything
I like you guys! Peel and stick is to PEEL and STICK! That cracked me up.
Hilarious 😂😆.....thank you, Gemma! -DIYPC 😃✨
Best quote of the film
I had peel and stick tiles on my kitchen counter. Yesterday I wanted to take it off. A living hell. I used warm iron over a cloth to make it easy to take it off. It was not. After I took four tiles off there is a huge, sticky mess under it. I have goop removal but it did not remove the sticky stuff. I put back four of these tiles and now have to have a new kitchen counter. Never again peel and stick for me. Thank you for your video. It is educational.
Thanks for sharing your experience! 🤗
I put peel and stick, supposedly removable, we'll see, on my stone backsplash in the kitchen. I was just thinking of removing it, not realizing what a mess I might be in for. Wish me luck.
another comment elsewhere on here mentioned that they randomly discovered enzyme cleaners work even better than the "goo" removers, might try that, usually they're listed as great for pet urine stains etc find em any retail cleaning aisle
I love my groutable peel and stick tile. Transformed my kitchen and dining room for 400 bucks. I even ran it at a 45 to the room (many more cuts) but it was worth it!
Nice! Great when a DIY project works out & is pretty, too!!
This is so true! I've been saying this for a while. I think that speaking with the Landlord on a lon term rental about making these changes would be a smart choice. I'm renting temporarily and don't plan on being here next year so I definitely wouldn't invest $200 + on DIY projects. My kitchen is "Ugly" and I would love to transform it but I said why waste my money. So I just added some decor and it looks a little better. Lol
We understand. Very smart 🤓.
Roofing paper works great and protects the floor under and easy to remove. This system has been used since glue down linoleum. I have a hundred year old building with a maple wood floor under layers (3) of linoleum and peel and stick. I removed all flooring, to get to the maple floor. It was easy and the maple floor, sanded and sealed, looks wonderful. Just an option for easy removal.
Thanks for sharing, Richard! 😊
Adorable couple!!❤
So grateful for this video and your honest take on this product! I already know it saved me some problems!
We're all about saving money and removing problems. Glad we could help! 😀
Thanks for the great intel! You guys are adorbs!
SO informative and honest. Thanks y'all.
I know what I’m doing this weekend, binging your Peel & Stick playlist. I just got some for a backsplash in my guest bath, and just from this video I feel better about it. I’m not a renter, so I don’t need to pull it up, I’m happy to hear it will stay put. Thank you for this video, nobody ever talks about this.
You're welcome 😊
Great information! Thanks for sharing.
So nice to hear a bunch of truth rather than one perspective. Thanks
Oh my goodness! I remember seeing the install. Thanks for the video. 👍
I'm so glad that I found this
Thank you for this video. It is full of great information and answered a lot of my questions.
Rational and realistic assessment. This was long-overdue. Thanks.
Great info, thanks guys!
As a renter I would never do anything to the flooring … but I have done peel and stick tiles over ugly kitchen wall tiles and they come off easy on that
I appreciate the knowledge and tips :) Thank you.
very useful and informative video, thank you
Thank you for a very comprehensive video.
Thank you. You home looks beautiful.
This was super helpful. Thank you!!!
Thank you, that is so helpful. Good to know!
Thank you for being raw and honest.
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for your honesty! I just watched a video for renters about peel and stick and nothing was said about it sticking or leaving residue. You guys rock!
Great information!!! Love you two!!!❤
That peeland stick on the bathroom wall looks amazing ! What a great idea never thought you could do that. Beautiful job A+
This is PERFECT! Thank you! Subscribed!
I own my home but your tips are very helpful. I'll be purchasing the floor peel and stick. Thank you.
Honest straightforward awesome video! New subscriber just now! Watched many others, but having experience in home repair, they were just entertaining.
Great job packed with real information! Thank you!!
Thank you!! I was seriously considering peel and stick, but I don't need the headaches that come with removal. God bless you and again, thank you.
I love you two , you work so well together and your so easy to watch !! Thanks for the information!!!
Thank you!
I had my kitchen floor done with a peel and stick that looks great , but everytime I drop something it leaves a dent, which means it must be too thin. I wish I’d looked for something thicker instead of trying to save money. The backsplash looks amazing, and really updated my kitchen as I’ve been in the same apartment almost 25 years. I also did my bathroom floor, my landlord is also my boss and I was able to have all of my peel and stick tiles put down by contractors who work for our company. That really made all the difference in achieving the professional look I wanted.
Doesn't matter what the flooring is. If you drop something anything will dent except tile but sometimes tile will crack.
Thank you for the pros and cons of peel and sticks tiles for apartments.
Great video! Thank you
What a lovely couple, and family you are! I really enjoyed watching your video. Thank you.
We appreciate your kindness 🤗
This is a great video. Thank you for uploading it!
I did a flooring before but it was not a peel and stick, it was wood planks that fit into each other.
First time catching you two. Thank you for your pertinent information. Best of luck with future endeavors.
You two are mesmerizing! Thank You for such honest and real info!❤💯
Our pleasure! ...and thank you for the nice comment. DIYPC😃✨
THANK YOU! You’ve answered my questions! 💕
Thank you for letting me know the pros and cons of peel and stick flooring and walls. It's very helpful for my renovation decision.
Thank you for the information
What a beautiful couple! Thanks for the for the truth about these products, & the pros & cons of when & where you might use them. ❤❤❤
Our pleasure!🤗
Thanks very much for this info❤
You guys are SOOOO helpful! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for doing this video guys! It was very informative!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the info!
Thank you so much for this video. I own my home, but I'm a widow and I'm learning how to do things by myself. I have been looking for ideas on a backsplash. I'm definitely going to check out more of your videos! God bless!
You're welcome...and we appreciate your support...it means a lot.
Awesome video, thank you.
Very helpful as we now shop to replace our click together floating floor after only 2 years. Did not realize a floating floor is a terrible choice for a mobile home, what with all the flexing such a structure allows. Even a little has been enough to pop & chip each plank. Truly hope peel & stick will actually stay put. Maybe in your next video you can address different types of dwellings suitable for peel & stick tiles as well as what type of sub flooring is best. This has been an expensive lesson.
Thank you so much for making this video 🙏
Thanks guys!! Considering!
Thank you
Great video!! Thank you!
Thanks you guys, Honestly I've been going CRAZY trying to figure out what kinds of adhesive you should use & what can come from different products
thank you for that will help us with some decisions with my son's first apartment. Old building in NYC.
This was so informative and seeing the different peel and stick with examples of where they can be installed.
Yeah, there's a lot you can do with peel and stick. We always appreciate you. -DIYPC 😃✨
Wow, this was a great video. Whole lot of info. Thanks
You're welcome. We're glad it was helpful!
This was very informative and very well put! You seem like a very happy and intelligent couple, thank you for the advice.
Thanks so much! 😊
Excellent video, really eye opening.
Good to know, glad I came across this video as I was about to spend money for my daughters bathroom in Dorm life. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!🤗
You two are a lovely couple! Thanks so much for the great tips!
Thanks so much! 😊
They are beautiful.
thanks for sharing this, I've used peel and stick and you mention many things that I've learned the hard way
Great information, thank you
You're welcome 🤗.
This was very helpful. Thank you guys for your tips. You gave some great ideas.
Glad it was helpful!😊
On walls where we used a plastic texture paint we would often use a cheap peel able paper wall vinyl (wallpaper) first . That way when you want to remove the surface product it came off easy leaving the paper backing . I wonder if this would be a thing . I also helps with the porosity of the wall allowing the product to stick evenly. The wall would have to be prepared and sealed well prior to hanging the wallpaper otherwise this could cause an issue . This might be worth a trying on a wall panel to see if it works . Just a thought
Holy crap! I’ve been researching this and your video cam up. Well done and great info! Plus what a hot couple. Lol
Great Information! Thankyou!
Ty so much for explaining the do's and don'ts! I've been so mislead by other DIY'ers about these products. So glad I came upon this video before I did my own project. *Subscribed*😊
Welcome to the DIYPC Family, Lisa! 🤗
Thanks for sharing. That was really informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Great points. They sell it as renter friendly but I've had the peel and stick wallpaper ruin the wall behind it. Glad I was the owner and not renter
Thanks for sharing your experience. 🤗
A thousand thank yous. Thank you !! You saved me from big mistakes. I was having many doubts. You just clarified why 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
You're welcome, Maggie! ...and thank you for watching! -DIYPC 😃✨
Very informative. Thank you for sharing
Hi Anita! Glad to help 😀
Great info!!
I love the use of white as the main color and the light shades of gray as the highlight. I'd love to work a light shade of blue into my kitchen, even though gray seems to be the way to go with white cabinets.
Thanks for your info because I was not sure what to think or feel about the peel and stick and I was very very skeptical.
Thanks for all of these tips
You're welcome, Vanessa!!! -DIYPC 😃✨
Thank u guys for this video
Thanks for this awesome video. Very informative.
