How to Remove a Vinyl Baseboard
- 1). Prepare to remove the vinyl baseboards by setting your heat gun to medium heat and putting on safety glasses and gloves.
- 2). Locate the end of one of the baseboards, and heat that end by holding the heat gun 3 to 4 inches away and moving it back and forth to soften the glue holding the vinyl baseboard to the wall and make it easier to remove.
- 3). Place a putty knife behind the end of the baseboard that you heated, and pull on it gently to detach it from the wall.
- 4). Continue to heat a section and pry it off of the wall until you have removed the entire piece of vinyl baseboard from the wall.
- 5). Heat the leftover glue with the heat gun, and remove it with the putty knife.
