We are real estate investors diy-ers this is what we do. Go get yourself a garden sprayer. It holds a gallon or so of water and you pump it with the handle and just spray it on the walls, you will not get trigger hand with that and makes the job a breeze. You can fill the container almost full with water and add a half cup of white vinager, this does smell but once the walls dry you will not smell it. Get a paint scraper/ spackling knife and peel paper off in sheets, then reapply liquid to remove glue. Windex also works and does not smell as bad and in my opinion works better. You can use the same concept to remove texture from your ceiling!
put vinegar and water in a spray bottle and spray as you go along...it lossens the adhesive or something like that...me and my mom used it when we were taking down all the wallpaper in my old house...
there is this stuff at walmart i think it is call DIF it is what i always use. it is pretty cheap. you can use one of those wallpaper scraper things (it puts cuts all in the paper) then spray it with the DIF
You can go to your local Home Depot and get wall paper removal stuff: Theres a steamer, scraper...
I have heard that you can do it with a blow dryer, but I wouldn't want to try that!
Mix equal parts of water and vinegar and use a spray bottle to wet the paper, this makes it come off in sheets, very easy but kinda smelly. Very inexpensive, natural....
There are wall steamers you can rent that are designed for that. They are inexpensive and easy to use. They are very hot though.A home improvement place will have them.
Half downy liquid fabric softener and half water in a spray bottle. Spray it on let it sit for a few minutes and tear the paper off, it really is that easy.
you can hire steamers that will take it off , haven't done it myself but that's what i have heard
hire a steamer its the easist and fastest way
good luck
rent or borrow a pump up sprayer and fill with hot water and 1/3 vinegar. it will release the paper easily.
There is a tool called a paper tiger. It is a hand roller that puts a bunch of holes in the wallpaper so that when you spray the stuff on it it works its way in better. Try Home Depot.
most wallpaper is stirpable & steam!!
