Just thought I would drop a note to let you know that when you first published the wallpaper series I read them all even though I didn’t have any wallpaper to remove, now a few months later, my daughter is living in a house where someone started removing it but gave up! Very tacky! It is just a rental but what an ugly sight to look at every day. I had remembered your posts and searched them out to find some helpful hints. Thanks for the help…we are on our way to wallpaper free walls!

I not long ago built our steam shower unit, best thing we
have purchased for some time, children and family love it, simply cannot see us heading back to conventional showers anymore

Thank for posting this. I only have one medium size bathroom with wallpaper trim and am already not looking forward to it. But I am looking forward to he difference it will make in taking that yucky stuff off! Will definitely try this method. I give you props for tackling wall after wall of it!,

Sherry–I don’t know if this is too late or if someone has already mentioned this in the comments (I’m short on time), but when my hubby and I tried fabric softener on wallpapered walls years ago, it was a big mess. I think it did help to soften up the wallpaper for removal. However, the walls were so slimy from the softener that we had to scrub them a couple of times before painting. We ended up switching to plain water and found the extra elbow grease to pull the paper off was worth not having to double-scrub the wall. Maybe we used the wrong process, put on way too much softener or didn’t dilute it enough? Anyway, I just wanted to offer my experience, in case it’s of any help to you.
Happy de-wallpapering!
