Un-Making Over Apartment (how to remove Peel & Stick Tile, Backsplash, Flooring, Contact Paper etc.)

Hi Friends! Today's the day that I'm removing ALL OF MY RENTAL FRIENDLY apartment upgrades! I'm going to be removing peel and stick tile backsplash, peel and stick flooring, removing contact paper from cabinets and countertops, and more! I'll show you how to get the sticky residue off from contact paper and peel and stick tiles (I found non-toxic ways) and all the hacks I learned along the way! I'll also show you how to remove my rental friendly color block wall and wainscoting too! I'm super excited for this video because I really didn't know how easy it would be to reverse all of these DIY apartment upgrades, and I'm happy I get to share this experience with you!

[@erachmah]

I think the new renter could ask her to keep the changes - she wouldn't be able to reuse the materials and wouldn't have to have all that work. The problem often is the real state broker that demands everything to go back to the original state - EVEN IF THE PLACE GOT IMPROVED.

My father ranted when I painted a wall in my flat and put up new lamps, because I'd just have to remove them and paint that wall again when I move out. Better not to change anything at all. Took me some time to realize that, heck, even if I have to paint a wall again, I wanna live comfortable and in a place where I feel like home, not like I'm squatting. Seeing what you did is next level and so refreshing. I'm gonna check out all the hacks now, YT randomly showed me this vid first.

[@marilynnebaldwin4432]

When tastefully done (as in your case) and when it adds value - most landlords don’t mind. I’ve never had to “undo” my diys. After I decorated my sister’s unit - management started using it as the “model.”

@@DIYDalia Can you put up the links where to buy the pendant lamps?

[@StrangeSpark]

Genuinely happy to see these actually being renter friendly. I recently viewed a flat with "renter friendly" sticker decorations on the wall. They were not renter friendly and had not been removed for obvious reasons (tenants in the process of moving out). When viewing flats, I only ever see the massive fails, because they're the ones that leave obvious trails that can't be cleaned up. I'm glad some of these hacks actually work.

As a military family, we moved a lot. Try this hack for residue on walls. Borax and water used on a sponge mop. We were required to wash the walls before out processing our housing. Wash from the bottom of the wall to the top.

[@LaundryFaerie]

I've rented for many years, and my mantra has always been "No permanent damage." It's extremely useful to see which kind of rental hacks are easy to remove and which are nearly impossible. Thanks for doing the good work!

[@NaomiR51]

Tip for next time: rubbing alcohol will remove some kinds of glue residue on it's own already really well, I don't think you would've needed the baking soda with it (saves some mess)

[@Mara-qo2uh]

Yeah!! I think a scouring pad with rubbing alcohol would have been really effective

Oil for the most sticky residues - but a cheap oil works fine xD olive oil is too presious for cleaning. And afterward wash everything down with just a soapy water. Simple dish soap does the job.

[@laurenmikles6605]

I’m wondering what percentage of landlords don’t want you to reverse because the apartment is much better than it was before. Did you ask your landlord if they wanted you to reverse what you did?

[@elizabethelias8373]

I thought the same think. If I am a landlord I would ask the tenant to leave it, it looks much better.

[@jfortierC]

I am a landlord and some of these i would prefer off, but some i would love to keep and even ask for some advice on how to do them !

[@curta4]

I was wondering the same!

[@Bright2010Star]

They can ask but the renter has no obligation to leave it, they paid for it, not the landlord.

[@jfortierC]

@@Bright2010Star I would'nt ask to leave it because, yes, they paid for it! But if they wanted to save time by letting these modifications on and asking if they could, it's a different story

[@gabbieb8296]

I so appreciate that you showed this! So many people show putting up “rental-friendly” accents but then leave you unsure about the ability for it all to come off.

[@joyceschetter5871]

Yes showing challenges and /or ease of diy rental friendly design removal is greatly appreciated! Plus the durability of the diy improvements is highlighted. Thank you. You did a super quality installation and removal!

[@ladymess1]

I love the idea of new renters coming in after having viewed it and loved it just like …. Is this the one we rented? Are you sure? It looks different 😂

[@DIYDalia]

we also wondered if that was what happened! 😂😜

[@gerANNAmoe]

Wait haha, did the new renters actually come see the apartment with the upgrades?

[@Cutiemaan]

I’d be so upset haha

[@hellolauriestark]

I've usually chosen apartments specifically because the previous tenant did work like painting the walls a pretty color so I wouldn't have to. I'd be so mad if I moved in and the landlord had painted over all of it!

[@jessicasevilla2529]

Hi Dalia! This was a great video, you are very talented! As a person who works in the apartment industry and loves everything interior design, all of your renter friendly ideas are a 10/10! So so cute. You definitely went above and beyond, considering I never painted even just one accent wall in the apartments I've had in the past 😅 Anyways, just wanted to say that a little glue residue is not at all bad compared to some VERY dirty apartments we get back. Our maintenance guys and cleaners swear by goo-gone, so that would have been easy to take care of. The small marks of paint is not a big deal either, again, compared to holes in walls, etc. 🤣 I do admire your enthusiasm to get the apartment back to when you first moved in. Props to you. 👍 P.s. for any other DIYers out there, if you have laminate countertops, please do NOT use contact paper or a heat gun. I've never tried it, but I know how much those counters cost, so I would stay away from it. O.O Definitely recommend for hard counters tho 👍

[@emilyjohnson700]

What would you say like the biggest things you would look for when someone's moving out its our first time and we are gonna try our best

[@KNIGHTOFBLOOD69]

As someone who absolutely loathes wood, I was SHOCKED to see the wood design contact paper was something you put up 😂 i was like "WHAT. Id put black contact paper on wood 😂"

[@jad8123]

I wonder if the landlord/owner would even know you had made any changes?! They’d probably be like, “This place is pretty nice”. LOL!!!!!!

[@beekind6267]

When that tile fell on the wrong side and they exclaimed OH NO in unison...I laughed harder than I ought to. 😄 I've never seen an undo. Thanks for this!!!

[@cc_snipergirl]

For cleaning up residue or oils you used to pick up residue, just using dish soap is great. It's safe for most surfaces and will really get in there more than you'd expect.

[@carolinnanl9899]

This was really helpful! There are so many videos with ‘rental friendly’ makeovers but almost never we see exactly how ‘rental friendly’ they are. These were great! Good luck with the new place!

[@TomJones-wi4nh]

As a landlord, I’d ask to have everything removed. It looks fantastic, but when it finally starts to wear, I wouldn’t be willing to take the time and effort to try to find and match up replacement material plus put in the work to install it properly.

[@mcrchickenluvr]

Peel and stick things aren't thay hard to remove. Or replace for that matter.

[@moigjoid260]

@@mcrchickenluvr imo that doesnt change anything, the landlord didnt ask for it to be installed so they shouldnt have to spend their own time and money to replace it. Especially when it comes to scraping leftover sticky residue off the floor

[@ByAnnieBasson]

This is completely understandable yet respectable. You understand your renters' point of view but at the end of the day, time is money. Renting is basically a business at the end of the day. I thought these renter friendly hacks were a complete no go but as long as it goes down at the end of the lease that's more than enough for me

[@willsinternet]

mcrchickenluvr But what about if they start to wear when the next tenant lives there? All of the "stick on" things look cute while new but aren't actual permenant finishes. If I moved in there and saw the tiles peeling up and revealing the ugly beige floors I would be mad at the landlord. Not to mention, land lords don't want to be constantly renovating things, which is why they make their apartments durable, not beautiful. This way they can look great tenant after tenant with just some basic cleaning, with some rare exceptions.

[@RoyalBlue4486]

We rent a house currently, and I don’t care if they want to do stuff like this as long as they remove it and clean completely before they leave. I thoroughly cleaned the house before they moved in, it’s not fair to expect someone to have to put this much time and effort into cleaning up your mess that you made.

[@agluzi]

All I want is that 3M Command Stripes offers to sponsor you 🙌 Also, alI could think is all the amazing things you did and how you are actually protecting the space (walls, cabinets, kitchen splash, etc) all looked as when you started, landlord must be very happy. Loved the video congrats and happy moving!💪

[@szeptacz5342]

Hi byot lol

[@TheSerafinaRose]

Using a hair dryer can help remove peel and stick with less residue!

[@Cutiemaan]

I wouldn’t do it on a wall personally, bc I feel like wall texture vs tile floor texture is different. I can see the good sticking to the wall and being hard to clean off

[@Cutiemaan]

And it’ll probs rip off the paint. She even mentioned she wouldn’t do this on a wall in her kitchen as it would rip the paint off, but she had an existing backsplash so she did it on top

[@tegztegz]

This is cool and all but seems like a lot of work, I can't imagine modifying a rental, knowing its temporary and requires removal, but I am impressed by it anyway

[@rell4474]

I'm about to seriously modify as much as she did this week. I'd rather do removal in a few years than have hideous white walls and ugly cabnits!

[@neosworld4659]

I think it all depends of how long you’ll be living there. If it’ll be a few years then its worth it.

[@miriam9419]

Depends on the person. If you take hit from your home and you are living there a fair amount of time then it is worth it. I haven’t done much to the place I am renting now because I don’t have people over, I don’t care about things looking too good and I am planning to move soon.

[@beautifly07]

Some people live in rental for 10-15 years. I think if you living in a rental for more than 5 years is worth it…

@@beautifly07 yeah you're right there, in my country that's very rare. Most rentals are about 12 months

[@emmawickman1196]

I recommend using non metal things when you try to remove sticker tile etc so you don’t accidentally scratch the landlords tile and baking soda is abrasive so using a brush like that in circles are creating micro scratches. Just thought I should warn you for future reference 🙌

[@shelleychastagner69]

As a landlord, I was always open to renters upgrading things as long as they asked first. The only time I had a problem was when I walked in to find an entire wall in the dining room painted screaming red as the renters had not asked, even though I had discussed the issue when they signed the rental agreement. They had already left without restoring the wall. It took me many hours of time, several coats of primer and paint, and even more frustration. PLEASE, always ask first and restore it when done.

[@MichiruEll]

From my experience in labs: For anyone dealing with sticky stuff: step 1, try water. Step 2: try soap. Step 3, try rubbing alcohol. Step 4, try acetone (patch test it first cause acetone can damage some surfaces). Step 5: cry cause you're in trouble if acetone didn't work. Also careful with alcohol/acetonw fumes.

[@soffiegirl1027]

step 5 😹😹😹 so true tho

I remember the video where you made over your bathroom and installed those tiles! (it's how I discovered your channel), super excited about your move and what you plan to do in the new space!!

Thank you for doing this! Great to be able to see the practical necessity of undoing things we might want to try as renters!

Your landlord must love you. They get the place exactly like it was the day you moved in and the upgrades were amazing.

This is so helpful and inspiring! Your apartment looked beautiful. My apartment is dry af because I just been so hesitant to put all of these things up just to ruin the walls. Love this video! New subscriber too!

Hey 👋🏾 this is my first video of yours that I’m seeing and it was the most satisfying video to watch. Also, your apartment was gorgeous. Now I have to go back and see how you decorated everything 🥴🤗

SAME!! and I'm moving into a new space in a few weeks... Dalia has a lot of great ideas! Now I'm thinking about peel and stick paper for an accent wall. The take down video was great, I feel a bit more confident with doing it on my own! ;)
