An apparatus for the loosening of wallpaper or the like from a substrate by steam. The apparatus includes a steam generator and a working plate, the steam generator being connected to the working plate by a flexible steam hose. The working plate is formed as a steam bar, which includes a U-shaped housing to which a handle is attached. A cover plate or a side piece can be detachably joined to the housing at one or both ends of the housing. The cover plate or side piece is closed at the end opposite the housing, and by choosing to attach either a cover plate or a side piece to the housing, the working area provided by the working plate can be adjusted. The apparatus thus provides a tool which can be easily and quickly adapted to loosen wallpaper in a variety of situations, including making it possible to steam both entire sheets of wallpaper and small portions of wallpaper in small areas where access to the wallpaper is poor. To facilitate the attachment and detachment of cover plate or side piece, a resilient snap catch is formed on the housing, the snap catch interacting with a stop provided on the cover plate and side piece.
