How to Remove Wallpaper

Aug 14th 2009 4:51PM We recently removed wallpaper in our home and we didn't use much. We filled empty spray bottles with a mixture of 1/2 hot tap water and 1/2 vinegar. We did not use any chemicals or any scrapers. We simply would spray the solution onto the wallpaper one section at a time, soaking it as much as possible. Then, we'd wait a couple of minutes and soak it again, and then gently start pulling it down. The wallpaper came off in one piece, just like it had been put up. Also, using the vinegar/water combo is much more "green" than any of the chemicals most people use. You can also use a mixture of 1/2 hot tap water and 1/2 liquid fabric softener.
