We hired pros to do remove ours when we bought our house. There was LOTS of it in 7 rooms that had all been installed by pros. Not that expensive to have removed and so glad we did.

What methods/products have you tried so far?

I have tried ready-made retail solutions, fabric softener, vinegar and a couple more that I have forgotten. Sorry.

Well I do have a paper tiger. I've tried it but maybe without enough vigorous. I will try again as you have suggested. If not, I guess, I'll call a pro. Maybe one more effort first. This thing is that it's really hard work and I'm not that young anymore and the old shoulder joints hate this job. But I would love to have this room redone.....before I need to recouperate!

Thanks, ladies for your advice.

we rented a steamer,it was a slow process, but it came off..

Also, Let that solution really soak in after you use the paper tiger.. keep spraying it down . We used the pressure pump style sprayer ( usually used for professional pest controllers) and tons of warm water to soak it down

A pressure pump, hot water and patience. It will come off, as will the backing and paste underneath. Patience please. Peel the paper off first wherever you can grab large chunks. The BAKING and paste.......patience and the pump : ) and a large flat scraper. Wash well before paint. Paint does not like glue.

We used a steamer, it was helpful.

There is a way to make
wallpaper removal easier. You need to
know Brian Santos "The Wall Wizard."
I went to a presentation he gave at a Home Show and learned more from
him than anyone else regarding paint and wallpaper.

Here is what he recommends:

WALLPAPER REMOVER FORMULA BY WALLPAPER WIZARD

3 Gallons of hot water

22 ounces of wallpaper
remover (this is the enzyme that eats the starch)

1/4 cup liquid fabric softener
(a surfactant that makes water wetter)

1 cup white vinegar

2 tablespoons baking soda
(the vinegar and soda together make the mixture pop and fizz)

Use a Paper Tiger tool to
score up the surface of the wallpaper.
This will allow the formula to get to the glue. Using a new garden sprayer (like a Hudson sprayer) begin spraying the remover
on the walls. Best to spray from bottom
of wall up. Spray the wall 2-3 times in
a row to really get it wet.

Next, here is the most
important part. COVER THE WET WALLS WITH PLASTIC (trash bags, sheet of plastic
whatever you have). The plastic prevents
the remover formula from drying out.

Let it sit for a several hours
or overnight to allow the chemical to breakdown the glue. Then you should be able to peal it off the
wall much easier. Most people use
chemicals but do not allow them the time to work.

Using Brian’s method I took down the wallpaper in a
small bedroom in 45 minutes.

I have also used his idea of
covering many other cleaning jobs with plastic.
Had mineral deposit build-up around the tub drain. Placed soaked paper towels in vinegar and
covered with plastic. Came back the next
day and it scrubbed of easily. Did the
same thing to a toilet ring that would not budge. Its now gone.

A steamer for sure and also the tiger.
