How to Remove Fiberglass Insulation
- 1). Use the claw end of a hammer or flathead screw driver to remove staples holding strips of insulation between the wall studs. Remove the staples working from the bottom up saving the top staples for last. Remove the top staples while holding the strip in place so that it doesn't fall.
- 2). Slowly roll the insulation down the wall, tucking in on itself. Do it slowly so that you do not stir up dust.
- 3). Put the insulation in a garbage bag once it is rolled all the way down the wall. This will keep any loose fibers from escaping into the air. Do this with each wall section that you need to clear out.
