Who this list is for
This checklist is for adding a removable splash guard behind a laundry sink in a rental-friendly utility area. It uses removable waterproof wall panels and keeps all materials clear of outlet openings.
How to use this list
Measure the wall area with the tape measure and make a cardboard template sheet before cutting panels. Mark with a pencil and straightedge, then cut on the cutting mat with a utility knife and fresh blades. Clean the wall with rubbing alcohol and microfiber cloths, let it dry, and use painter's tape to test the panel position. Apply removable mounting strips or water-resistant double-sided tape as directed, smooth panels with the plastic smoothing tool, and finish exposed edges with clear removable edge trim.
Common mistakes
Do not cover outlet openings or apply panels over dirty, wet surfaces. Avoid cutting the final panel before checking the cardboard template against the sink area. Do not assume removable mounting strips and water-resistant double-sided tape are interchangeable; follow the selected product instructions. Keep edge trim aligned so it does not interfere with the sink.
What is on this list

When you are done
Press along every panel edge and check that the splash guard lies flat. Keep the area around outlet openings clear. Save the template and spare trim in case a removable panel needs future adjustment or replacement.
