Default Wallpaper from Heck
Anybody have any good wallpaper removal tips? I'm redoing a bedroom and having a &*%^ of a time removing the paper. I tried Dip lastnight with not much luck. I had no idea how good I was at putting it up!!!
I really dont want to rent a steamer, any sugestions would be great.
Thanks!

Hot, Hot, Hot water with Dawn did the trick. That Dif stuff was a waste of money.

Yea, I did a dry peel first then soaked the walls good. All I need to do now is get some of the paste off and I'm good to go.
