Stripping wallpaper
 
What a pain in the arse. Just doing a boarder, scoring it and spraying it with a white vinegar/water solution and scraping. Is there an easier way? HELP!!!

Yeah you can rent a steamer, but it's not worth the hassle.

Either way its a huge PITA.

We had to do an entire wall. The key is to letting it soak in.

I agree it is a pain. I've done a lot of it. Sometimes the first layer (printed) will come off leaving just the glue and backing on the wall which is then easier to remove because you can really wet it down.

If you find an easy way let me know - we'll make some $$ with it :D

Good Luck

True pain.
I found the store bought chemical a quicker way but certainly not safer as with vinegar.
Key is making sure the paper soaks all the way through.
